The only good thing about Tour de France: The girls on the podium. They're really pretty.

They kiss the winner. I want to take part next year :zz:

Easy win for Sagan because he hasn't made ​​a big effort in the last kilometer.
The real battle begins in Mountain :drool:

I hear Wiggins will win it this year. I just hope we finally get to see a Dutch stage winner for once.

if wiggins can keep up with evans in the mountains, I think he has a good chance to win the tour, he is damn good in the time trial. to bad andy schleck is injured, I've been supporting him for the last couple of years.

Evans is not so bad in the time trial, but he must take time out of Wiggins in mountains, because this year there are 2 time trials + the prologue

of course he's not, actually he's one of the best in the TT, but still I think he will lose some time. I rate evans stronger in the mountains, so it's gonna be a interesting fight for the yellow jersey.
