Yesterday at Le' Tour: 18

Today's stage was the best I can ever remember watching.
It even beat the nail-biting Lemond/Fignon time-trial.

60.3k to go and Andy Stiff-Neck makes, what must have seemed to the other contenders, an ill-judged attack.
Nobody responds.
Mistake.
He flew away and kept on flying.
It wasn't until the last 20k that any attempt to reel him in was made.
Cuddles turned himself inside-out to close the gap.
Mr. Voelker hung on to his shirt tail.
Andy Stiff Neck took the stage and brother Frank, stepping out of the passenger seat, took second.
Mr. Voelker managed to hang on to the yellow jersey but it cost him dear.
Boo Boo ended up looking like a busted flush.
Cav, along with a good proportion of the peloton, didn't make the cut off and had 20 points deducted.

Today's stage was one of the reasons I watch this great adventure.
