Le Tour 2011

Well, here it is. This is the place for our discussions of the 2011 Tour. Coverage starts at 7:00 am CST on Versus tomorrow.

Who's excited? Can Contador be beat? I sure hope so!

I'm with Wales, Levi or any Merican that can do well. Got the DVR set so I can catch it all. I'll miss all the opening stuff since I'm at my sons with no Versus.

I just added the TDF Allaccess app to my iPad to follow for now. Following Levi, Hincapie, Cantador and the Schleck brothers. Looks to be a very shuweet app powered by Mapmyride.

What a way to start the TDF with a crash like that....esp when it appears to have been a spectator caused crash

Yeah, especially one that could have such an impact on the overall standings at the end.

Mark Cavendish's Tweet about Gilbert's performance:

Just saw todays last kilometre. Gilbert humbled everyone with the equivalence of pulling down his pants to reveal a 13incher. #YIKES
