Is a cycling god. After yesterday's meltdown, screaming at the TV hoping to give him the energy to stay in yellow, today's solo victory and coming back from 8 minutes away from the Tour win to a mere 30 seconds . . . I think I need sedation. Truly, today's tour stage was one of the most amazing days of cycling I've watched. Time may show it eclipsing Greg LeMond's amazing journey to the Champs in 89.
I've only read about the daring exploits of Fausto Coppi, but I can imagine them now . . . This was serious old school cycling. I just wish Phil Liggett had used my favorite phrase, "pedals turned in anger".
Okay, maybe it was too much of an obscure reference for non-cycling fans. Here's Coppi's wiki.
It was a truly sweet win. Check the last photo at cyclingnews.com You can see that there clearly were "pedals turned in anger". Ride on Dr. Panache!
