We're Baaaaaack....

So Will the G and I had the privilege of getting to see Le Tour this year. I must say if you have the means, go! Its worth it! The plan was to check out the Team Time Trial in Montpelier France and check out the finish into Barcelona, Spain and finally see them roll out of Barcelona the next morning. So heres the low down...

Cadel's bike
Have you ever touched Jurgen Van den Broeck's bike? Because i have! (Check out the break aways the past couple days, hes usually there...)

this guy really shouldn't time trial...

this guy should stick to road racing...

the Cervelo train

If memory serves, Fabian was on the front pulling just about the entire time

anyone know who these guys are? i searched the internet but couldn't find anything

So back in Barcelona it decided to rain biblical proportions on the day the tour rolled in but we wouldn't let it ruin our spirits.


After standing for about 5-5.5 hours in the rain the peloton approached! I was giddy with anticipation. People were screaming and pushing their way closer to the barriers. After Thor claimed his victory in the sprint finish, his die hard Norwegian fans began singing his song at the top of their lungs. Oh and if you didn't know Thor is such a bad ass he has his own song (which is way better than Tom Boonen's if you ask me).


So the next morning Will and i went to check out the start. Riders signing in, giving interviews, signing autographs, it was pretty awesome. I would love to share some pics but Kelly F had an unfortunate mishap with he camera being stolen... MAJOR BUMMER! So all we have is the memories. Oh and all the free schwag from the parade.
Now this post isnt even close to telling the tale of the whole trip but i figured it would at least appease the religious readers of the Hoff Blog. Amazing Trip!
