TdF Stage 11

Boom rhymes with home, for real look it up.

Lars BOOM! Not like the noise a bomb makes, but like the sound of a perfectly executed attack.  Boom!!!  How cool would it have been for this CX rider to take a stage of le Tour?  I was yelling for him to stick it, but the peloton was just not going to let him go.  HTC had marching orders from Cav, who was edged out the day before by the German Gorilla.  Cav was looking for a little in your face, thanks for playing, but I am looking for some green, the W will be mine.

Greipel sat on Cav's wheel waited for him to go, launched and came up just a little short.  Once again, what would these finishes look like if Omega would provide a train for Andre?  I would love to see the fireworks that would consume the finish line if these two when head to head with equal lead outs.  Take a moment and think about it.  Nice, right?

Really, I want more competition in the sprints.  We have some incredible talent, but HTC is the only team that is remotely exploiting the team train concept.  How freaking strong is HTC?  Danny Pate was an excellent pick-up for HTC, this guy is a motor of punishment.  Lars Bak shares the work with Danny and they pretty much drive the whole peloton.  How the heck can these two GO day-in-day-out full gas?  Somebody check their passports, 'cause they are not human.  So impressive.  Lets not forget the "help" that Tejay, Peter, and Tony put in at the run into the finish.  Check it, these three are GC guys and they are -doing work.  Last but not least Cav has the best lead-out men in the business, men that are capable of winning stages on their own, but prefer to lay it down for their man.  Mark Renshaw and Matt Goss.  These two are two of the fastest men in professional cycling.  That's right I said it, why? Because it's true.
