TdF Stage 1 Report

A couple of images from yesterday's Tour de France Stage 1 (Yes, there's another off-beat, global sporting event we all need to pay attention to.) For a complete report on the Tour, visit www.velonews.com.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I'm glad Georgie finally gets to wear yellow.

Thor, God of Blood.

Both Velonews and OLN reported that what caused the cut on Thor's arm was a plastic fan sign. Sure looked like a lot of blood for basically a paper cut. He had to have stitches. I know they were doing close to 40mph, but still - that couldn't have been a plastic #1 finger could it? In any case, looks like those fan signs are going to be banned.
