What a thrill to watch and listen to you all. Christian and the whole team seem to handling everything with such class and style. Being able to read about all of the team details from David Miller makes it that much more exciting. Especially for those of us that can not be there and are watching it on TV everyday. Multiple times a day I might add. Keep up the great work and thanks for being such great role models. I have two young boys and it is just so important. You make a difference in peoples lives everyday and hope you know that.

The great work and efforts from the whole team so far have been inspiring, I look forward to seeing Christian on the podium and the team celebrated for being what all the other teams aspire to.

Thanks for all your thoughts Dave, the TV doesn’t do you justice!

Well chosen title David, good to see you’re reading the comments! Keep up the strong work with both the pedal and the plume.

David - thanks for the view into what is happening on your team. I’m an American and noticed Vandevelde’s name near the top and tried to get more info. I was curious how a team and a team leader would deal with a domestic as a contender (dreading that it would be similar to the LeMond - Hinault situation), but no. Good luck to all of you the rest of the tour.

I love it when you write. Don’t worry David you will be their for VdV in the Alps. I think Evans, Menchov, Sastre, and Schleck are in for a big surprise in the coming days when they are starring at the backside of Christian.

Hey David!
Good to hear from you almost everyday.
That’s fair enough to assist your leader but keep in mind that you could do some “perf” au contre la montre!
Tu es vraiment quelqu’un de bien…!

I spent the last half an hour of Tuesday’s stage standing in front of the tv in my hotel room, in le Bourg d’Oisans no less. It was just so exciting seeing Christian battle it out with the other contenders. Still I keep wondering how many days Christian and the Garmin boys need to keep it up before the French press will give them any notice. It’s rather frustrating, but I just do my little part by spreading the good word of the team to anyone who will listen. Thanks for all the amazing moments in the most amazing Tour I have seen in years.

My little dream: Christian hangs in there and pulls a Greg LeMond on the second to the last stage.
