    Default Le Tour de France!

    And that is about all the French I know...

    So do we have any Cycling fans here? I've stayed up the last couple of nights to watch the Tour (The stages finish at 1am at the earliest, 2am at the latest... damn you time zones!) and I have to say I have really enjoyed the experience of watching several full hours of cycling. The physical prowess of these athletes is outstanding!

    The race has been pretty good this year (Not just because an Aussie is in the running. Go Cadel!) and the race has only just got to the Pyrenees and so there is still a long time to go before we start getting to the real endurance tests (I though the Col de Peresoul was a bit of a let-down, but hopefully the today's Col de Tourmalet will be a real test).

    So anyone else out there watching this? Have any Frenchies gone out there to see it? Any ideas on who is going to win?
