Mt Ventoux

Posted on 25. July 2009 20:44 - 5 comments

A very popular Thor Husovd in the green jersey at the start of todays stage. He's had a great tour. Respect! We drove up to Mt Ventoux and past the big crowds. On the top there was limited space and not that many people. The naked mountain had heavy wind. I was hoping for some great attacks and a little action from the Shleck brothers, but the head wind made it heavy to pull away. Got a great pic of Andy Shleck, Contador and Lance in the last turn, but my camera wont connect with my stupid phone. Back in Monaco now ready for dinner. It ha been a long and fun day, and its far from over.

I see you, Stockings! you joined me! This Thor guy is really nice, he had one great breakaway in one of the stages, risked a lot, won a lot of points, brave on the climbs and he secured his green jersey. He later on said that it was the most beautiful day he had on a bike ever, that was so Princey Charming;-) My idol of the tour is Andy Schleck though, I hope Aksel will post his picture, he was the craziest guy out there, with great power, climbing abilities and courage and a great relation with his brother, that was kinda cute. They (Schlecks) really rocked the race, brought some life there...Ok, I am a cycling freak, so I will stop now, because I could go on with that for hours....good nite!

Bugatti from the next post really took the spotlight from great Thor, what a pity, the guy is super cool;-)

And in green shirt he stayed today, very nice. I saw so many Norwegian flags on tv, there must have been so many Norwegians in Paris, crazy;-)

Heya Aksel, I saw him on TV...he had some trouble with his bike, though. Nevertheless, great tour -and what a stylish helmet he wears. I love the colour and the design...crazy stuff

Well, ends up that I'm going to ride my bike today. Great sunny day, not too hot...I'm coming:-)

Have fun
