Sunday, July 6th
After a hard week with two races, I was feeling sore and run down today. I decided to skip my scheduled interval workout. I'm a little disappointed to miss a run, but it wouldn't have benefited me much with how tired I feel. Tour Talk Well, Oscar Freire was in the mix, but the hills and wind didn't break up the peloton as much as I expected. It came down to the power sprinters, and since Pozzato went too early trying to chase down Cancellara, that left Thor Hushovd in the perfect position to win. He did so handily. Christophe Moreau, in typical fashion, made a late attack that was doomed to fail. He did pick up a couple of KOM points, but if the Polka Dot Jersey is truly his objective, I don't understand why he spent so much energy in a small breakaway that was fighting a hard crosswind. I guess that's just Moreau's style: spend a lot to gain a little. Stage Three: Saint-Malo to Nantes — 208 Kilometers This is a flat stage with good run up to the finish. It should come down to a classic bunch sprint. I think the man with the fastest final 100 meters is going to win this one, and that man is Mark Cavendish. |
