Biking Bis is out on the road, biking. See previous post. This is Mrs. Biking Bis filling in for all you TdF fans who need your morning fix.
Today's stage, the second day in the Alps, separated the men from the boys, as my father would say. Andy Schleck stole the show but could not take the yellow jersey from Thomas Voeckler, who finished 2:21 minutes after the No. 1 Schleck rider, who needed to gain at least 2:37 on the race leader.
Lots of dancing in the pedals today. Biking Bis would never say this, but I rather enjoyed watching Alberto Contador crack in what is his strong suit — mountain stages. Contador, a three-time winner of the tour, finished 15th on the day, 3:50 back.
Please come back later tonight/tomorrow for the authoritative take of Biking Bis.
It will be very interesting to is see who has anything left Friday when the tour tackles the historic L'Alpe d'Huez.
