THHHHHHHOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRR

MAILLOT JAUNE

So Le Tour started a couple days ago (On saturday to be exact) and it's actually been pretty sweet to see my favorite rider and team crush it so far.  On Sunday they took part in the team trial, managing to put 4 seconds between them and BMC which put Thor in the yellow jersey (leader of the race, Maillot Jaune) and they were also leading the team classification.  Also helps that they've been riding the new Cervelo Yoda...... (no it's not actually called that, but I think thats what Millar or Zabriskie nicknamed it)

Yesterday's team trial always presents a spectacle, partially because I think when you have a train of riders just streaking down looks WICKED.  See below

Today was a sprint stage which resulted in a second win in as many days for Garmin Cervelo.

Some people say you shouldn't celebrate if you're not the first over the line, I disagree though man, especially when they helped get you there.  I also love how Thor is just popping his head out there, and has a giant grin on his face, props to the world champ and tour leader for pulling out a phenomenal lead out to get Farrar get there in a hurry.

Although I do have to say the best comment and picture of the day comes from Thor being in the polka dot jersey.  Even the commentator was like I see you're sporting the mountains classification jersey.  He's a sprinter and sure he can go deep in the hill but he's not that good.  Thor responded with that this was the first and probably last time he will wear the jersey

I guess the other thing that has always drawn me to Thor is that he's actually quite comical in whatever he does, and he's unbelievably humble.  Like when he won a stage at AToC it was all because of his team, so and so on the team did this.  I mean common who doesn't love a humble, hillarious norsk.

After he was relegated in today's sprint at the intermediary, he responded with the fact that he was trying to rub some sunscreen off on Cav.....BRILLIANT

So there we go, another day, another yellow jersey, and another stuffed lion, Chapeau Boys
