It’s a shame the ol’ bastard of a race is over. Will miss your daily musings. But you don’t have to stop just because le Tour is over. Keep firing away! We’ll keep reading, that’s for sure.

Kia oro and see ya on the flip side!

Another great entry. The insight you provide is such a welcome change to the mystery that has encased cycling for far too long. Amazing job on the tour so far and best wishes in the last week and in the time trial!

On a personal note, I would like to thank you for your 2007 “Fallen Hero” entry. It is simply the most moving reality check I have ever read. You do such an excellent job of capturing your emotion and the gravity of the situation. You are a true inspiration. Again, thank you.

Cheers,
Ben

As always, it’s a real pleasure to read your entries. So many of us post comments because what you’re writing is so good and stirs up all sorts of emotions.

Good luck for today – I did the same route last year in a car – and it terrified the pants off me!!

Go Team Garim-Chipotle!

I’ve got to say, Team Garmin-Chipotle is putting on an amazing performance. Keep up the diaries David, they are very interesting and help restore faith in cycling for me.

I wish the team the best of luck and I wish Christian to have the best possible performances on the remaining days.
