From our friends colleagues at letour.fr: Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank will have a rider on the podium today as Chris Anker Sorensen has been voted the most aggressive rider of the 99th Tour de France. He was on the attack during both stages in the Pyrenees and, on the day to Peyragudes, he sliced his fingers in an accident... but still battled on to finish 24th in the stage.
He is ranked 14th overall and is third in the climbing classification. -

I love the traditions and sportsmanship that have been so evident during the tour... Wiggins and team holding the peloton allowing Cadel to return to it after his flat, allowing KOM to roll over the top of the climb first. It's been so much fun to watch and you're coverage will be first on my list to follow along when TdF comes around next year. Thanks for all the great info. -

I grabbed a shot of his bars after the stage. For the sake of anyone out there who doesn't do well with blood, I won't post it up here. But here's a link: Sorensen's bloody bars

good little tribute on George...I still have a bad taste in my mouth about him not getting that one day in the maillot jaune a few years ago because of the out-of-control rivalry between Garmin and HTC.....such a petty thing to keep one of the greatest cyclists in the TdF from getting a single yellow jersey -

Today in 1986, After what some observers have called the most exciting Tour de France ever, Greg LeMond completed the 2,542 mile Tour in 110 hours, 35 minutes, and 19 seconds to become the first American to win the race. www.slayingthebadger.com -
In case any of you missed it, Matt and I grabbed video with Jonathan Cantwell just before his TT yesterday. He's finishing his first Tour, possibly with a broken tibia. He's very candid about how hard this Tour has been: Cantwell on finishing the Tour in (mostly) one piece. -
