There are a few riders that I find myself cheering for, Chavanel, Voelker, Gilbert and I'm not sure why? These guys seem be famous for being famous?

Yeah, I think for me a large part of supporting them is because they never fail to try, Voekler is a very opportunistic rider and although he seldom manages to win he is always mentioned in every race, he is either in the break or he goes off on a lonely mad tangent with no hope of succeeding, but he always tries something, theres little sitting around at the back in the sun for him.

Chavanel is much the same, although in the twilight of his career, in his day he was a prolific winner, but these guys also keep their noses clean, they dont get involved in the peleton politics and you will never hear them winging to the press about this or that, they just get out and do the job to the best of their ability every day, I can live with that.

I only watched a bit today, didn't look like it was going anywhere slowly so I left it, but checking now I see Lutsenko made runner and succeeded,... good for him.

 

I am hoping for a bit more fireworks tomorrow, the last two stages have been somewhat subdued in my opinion.
