Tour de France 2008 - Stage 18

Okay, I openly admit... I slept in this morning. I was tired and the cat was on the alarm clock so I didn't hear it go off the 2nd time. I was up to watch the last hour or so and the finish was entertaining. All the cat and mouse games. I'm happy for Team Columbia. And I loved watching Andy go after the attack to keep his White Jersey. I hope he can keep it through the TT on Saturday. That kid is crazy talented and is by far (next to my garMEN and Jens! of course) favorite of this tour to watch.
