As you can see very little has changed from yesterday, causing me to remain in a fairly stormy mood over my beloved tour. Blah Blah flat stage blah sprinters blah breakaway that was successful. Wait, what? You read that right. Today there was finally a semi-successful breakaway that start out with 6 riders. Three survived to take the top spots in the stage, though Calzati finished 2 minutes before the others. I had a little glimmer of hope when Zabriskie was part of the original six, but he didn't stick with it. Story of my life. So there was no big exciting finish today, what with the race being pretty much decided at 5 miles out. There was a bit of a sprint for fourth with Boonen leading out, but as usual McKewn popped in for the win. Boonen has been frustrating me. He sits up so soon when someone starts to get ahead of him. He gives up. Not much from the world champion who's one 17 races so far this year. But the motto of this tour has become expect the unexpected. Discovery was silent today. T-Mobile kept things under perfect control. ::Sigh:: What's happening here at the end of the first week? Rest day tomorrow, then back to work Tuesday, with the first mountian stage on Wednesday. Maybe, maybe...
