Tour de Suisse - Stages 7 & 8

Exciting racing over the weekend. Friday morning I watched the race with my cousin and we had some fun with it. Getting her up to speed with who's who become quite the job. Fabian won Friday's stage and I have to say I enjoy seeing him get that gap and win just about every time! :-)

Saturday was a much busier day for me back home so I checked in and followed a little bit but didn't watch it until I got back here late last night. Always enjoy seeing Jens! power along. I have to wonder if Frank couldn't have won the overall with out that crash on Wednesday. Even with the crash he continued on for some great racing.
