breaking news the Tour de France 2013
addition is over and crisp room has one
this is to it. sports and I'm they've colour I've been reading the comments
and summer you're saying you start to like me
thank you yeah Chris Froome at a five minute lead
half a dozen stages ago course he was gonna win it wasn't very dramatic
yea kinda collapsed on the second to last stage there was a
outside category mount finish: Alberto Contador collapsed on I climb
you want from second down the fifth or so he lost his place on the podium
but Chris Froome did not collapse the day before that to
climbs up out the way as and Chris Froome hung on for those also
gotta love that little Colombian Nigro Canton a row house
like giving cycling has a doping problem this dude was born in Colombia he was
probably born on cocaine I don't mean to slander I apologize
I don't know anything about him I'll other one South American
athletes s Excel except these somebody's
goofy clay court only tennis players like Marcel real sawdust on down to you
the southern impressive but give me a good are Juan Martin del Potro Gustavo
Kuerten
that's an athlete I can get behind up back to the Tour de France
so the general classification wasn't that exciting you just have to watch it
because Chris Froome
you could also collapsed in the mountains but he doesn't he was very
strong this year with that kinda
weird riding soured tuxes had lifted up again and he waves his arms like this
that's his style work form this year now the final stage
in Paris set up for the sprinters those a great spectacle
and great day a bike retro writing they started the stage late in the afternoon
so they get the Paris just before nightfall very well timed
10 laps around the songs only say and fittingly enough
the four best sprinters in the world right now finished in the first four
places in the final sprint now Peterson gone
was not in contention really finished fourth but significantly behind the
other three
Marcel Kittel the start this year's Tour de France he won his fourth stage in one
in Paris on the songs always a
I Cavendish did not have the best lines he did not have the best did not have a
good lead out
like you has for as twenty-something other victories in his four years in a
row love winning on the songs always a
and it cost them also what his final stretch down on the armor Shahzad is a
he was on some rough throat is bike was bouncing all over the place just to his
left
muscle kills on a nice smooth road anyone in for the finish
I think right ball other three was traveling fastest at the end
but he couldn't catch muscle kill the little lead
going into the final couple hundred meters and Sprint there's a very
exciting
sprint on the songs always a to finish the race barry
great spectacle in Paris our tour de france is always a great spectacle and
it lived up to it this year
now this is Tour de France more than any other sporting event as soon as it's
done
you're excited for the next year starts to build is that the plotlines the
possible matchups are great
for salt Bradley Wiggins comes back to you have Wiggins
Froome and Richie Porte all very strong for now all on Sky
I don't know if that will last until next year are
but there's some there's some great competition right there
now I actually don't think Bradley Wiggins has identified on the clever
contend for another tour de france that's not his kinda racing he did great
last year the team was
amazing but I don't think he can contend I am
then you got Nigro can't I will see
if this was his first Tour de France so he should be back strong a little more
experience next year that's another mix for the GC
contenders I think Contador's done but Andy Schleck might still have something
left at this year was a disaster
maybe I'll focus and come back strong next year maybe I'll have his brother
Frank back
and then although the other your
contenders guys who finished strong this year a Joaquim Rodriguez
a maybe TJ van Garderen I'll have another year of experience
under his belt and will be a stronger writer so it could be a good Tour de
France but what happens between
1 July in the next is a lotteries excited
anticipated matchups don't really happen they don't pan out once you hit the road
but still it's it's great sport because I'm excited for the next
already it's less than 24 hours since the conclusion
up to 20-30 per 100 addition
so that your Tour de France now congratulations to Chris Froome
I hope it gets an audience with princess Kate's new baby
or may doesn't give a shit like the rest of us and the
I enjoyed watching it the sprints the mountains the climbs the landscape
it's all great see you in that yellow next year skip onto it. sports
