cerealjoe: (thomas - hi mom!)
The Tour de France starts today. So many people to cheer for and yet those are the people I cheer for all the time. Every year I tell myself there is no point in watching it anymore and every year I still have to read the start list, check out the stats, etc.

So this year I am going to be for:
- Stuey (CSC-Saxo Bank)
- Little Thomas L. (Columbia)
- Cookie (Barloworld)
- Mark Renshaw (Crédit Agricole)
- Cyril Dessel (AG2R La Mondiale)
- Nicolas Jalabert (Agritubel) *sniff* won't be able to hear his brother's commentary live
- Pierrick Fédrigo (Bouygues Telecom)
- Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Telecom)
- Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis)
- David Millar (Garmin Chipotle - H30)

And of course the whole of FDJ <3 (Sandy Casar, Sébastien Chavanel, Rémy Di Gregorio, Arnaud Gerard, Philippe Gilbert, Lilian Jégou, Yoann Le Boulanger, Jérémy Roy, Benoît Vaugrenard)

Obviously there are some others which will make me really happy if they win, as in all the French and Ukie kids, but the ones mentionned above have proved to be rather entertaining. Most of them are actually either ex-FDJ that I really liked or French guys who at one point did something completely crazy like keeping the yellow jersey for a couple of days.

I'm really excited right, woohoo! Alas this year, I won't be able to go see a stage, that's a real bummer right there. They're going to be right next to where my sister lives and it's going to be a Saturday so she'll have to go see them. She'll have to!
