Every morning I swear I'm not going to waste time watching what has got to be the most stultifyingly boring Tour de France of my life. I feel like the intention was good: to make a close race that would end in a last day show down in the Alps, but the reality is a non-race. All the favorites have no way of distancing themselves from each other and no reason to attack, either. But like a crackhead, I keep turning that video on and watching, hoping to get a small hit of that sweet feeling that comes from watching a truly riveting bike race. Today's hit of ecstasy came when it looked like Tyler Farrar was going to best the Manx Missile, but it wasn't meant to be. Another 30-40 meters and maybe, but Cav' is just crazy fast when he sees that line sway into view. All I know is that the end of this Tour better have enough fireworks to make up for all of the non-action we have seen so far...

We did it twice and so shall you. Besides, you haven't even seen bad with Owen. Trust me on that.
