The God of Thunder is Yellow, but he ain't no chicken.
What the heck? How awesome is Thor? He put in such a good ride, we are talking about riding way outside of his normal bunch sprint in the finale, or are we? Thor is not your normal run of the mill sprinter, he is a though-man's tough man. One word: Roubaix. What about the attack that Thor put in two years ago at le Tour that put him in green? If you recall it was a little bumpy that day, and I'm not talking about the road. So to see Thor in the yellow this long really should be no surprise, plus it is one of the best tributes to the Rainbow Jersey wearer.
Van Garderen is awesome. 22yrs of age in his first appearance at le Tour and he pulls on the "dots" of the KOM. In my best Jens' voice: How cool is that? Tejay was relentless in attacking his breakaway companions, and in the end the only one who could pick up what he was laying down was the stage winner Costa.
Gilbert is in no way backing down, he is pretty amazing to watch when the line is perched on a steep incline. It just seems that he owns hard finishes. Point it toward the sky, light it on fire, put monkeys with lasers, and some clowns on unicycles, he will still find a way to win or finish strong.
FYI: my post of stage 6 is really stage 7, somehow I skipped stage 6, I went from stage 5 right into 7. Too much riding out in the heat, or too many man sodas?
Stage 6 was won my EBH of Sky, sorry but that's all I got to say about that. -Forest
