What's it like wearing your own yellow jersey in the competition then Cat? Even if you are sharing it with Jens & Dalessit. Hope you all don't all try to get into it together!!!

I was never sure, did you ever look at last year's & how close we were?

Hi Jen - you are welcome to come and stay here during the tour and just stay up all night instead I think in some ways the early mornings seem easier...

40ks to go here..

Heh...not a bad idea. I'm much more of a night person than a morning person.

To be fair, some of the being late was going to get a coffee, a donut for my husband, and a newspaper. It's the Sunday morning thing.

Paul and Phil were just saying that he's one of the first good candidates for an American sprinter since the 60s. Looks like he did well during the Tour of California and took second in two stages of the Giro d'Italia.

Wow...he's young! Same age as my little brother - 25!
