Building Excitement... Stage 18 and 19 results

The last two days of racing have been excellent. Riders are flying down mountains. A full fledged "stem vs. chain watching" discussion going on regarding Nibali's attack today. The week three folks have come into form. Early favorites are lighting the racing up! Personally I enjoy Quintana's attacking words and riding. This could have just been a Froome lead tour through the Alps. Instead there is whining, complaining, and excellent racing.

Fantasy cycling is as hot as ever too! Stage 19 specifically might be telling of what might come when the final results are tallied. Les Têtards, managed by Charlie Sawyer, picked the podium today. With 110k of riding of which 42k will be going up hill, tomorrow could be classic Tour de France racing.
