Only two stages into this year's TdF and there has already been fireworks (and I'm not talking about the doping allegations).
• George missed the Mellow Johnny by less than a second in the prologue.
• George sneaks a 2 second time bonus in the final kilometers of stage one making him only the 4th American to wear the Yellow Jersey in the TdF
• Thor Hushovd gets his arm sliced by a fan during the stage one sprint...loses yellow jersey.
• Thor fights for bonus points and regains the overall lead after stage two.
• Robbie McEwan out-sprints all the fast men to take the Maillot Vert in stage two.
• one of 5counts fantasy teams has moved into 8th place overall after stage 2, Rowdy is in 6th overall...but it's a long tour and the sprinters won't be scoring many points when the road tilts upward.
• Jan has gained fifteen pounds during a weiner-schnitzel binge and won't come out of his room claiming, "I'm der Kaiser, you don't mess vit der Kaiser!"

It looks as if part of his brain has slid down into his calf. I can't imagine that that's a good thing.?

Mr. Paul,
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your message. Yes, I am managing to get out for my daily run here in Guatemala. Believe it or not, there are a ton of cyclists here, especially in the areas I´ve been running in.
Also, a heads-up: You guys have got less than a month to cruise around town at granny speed before I come back to G´ville ready to kick ass and take names. Consider yourself warned.
Have a good summer GCCers. Keep in touch. jbrew at sewanee.edu.
Bring it to the Hipp ride big man.
