Tour de France: Stage 7

ByEdward Pizzarello

The first mild mountain stage caused the expected shakeup in the peloton yesterday.  No big changes amongst the main contenders for the overall classification.

Interesting comment I heard yesterday.  When Lance got his flat tire on the cobblestones, he was over a minute ahead of Contador.  He ended up finishing a minute behind Contador.

Making up a minute on a great climber like Contador is a tall task, even for the Superman we’ve come to know as Lance Armstrong.

In today’s stage 8, Armstrong was involved in a crash right before the big climb of the day, and is having problems.  Not a good sign.

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
