I love watching the Tour on the teevee. The attacks, the sprints, the mountains, the doping scandals. I love the whole thing from start to finish. Now I am totally depressed that it’s over. So let’s relive the good times and look back at the race this ...

The winner of the 2007 Smithers MINNEAPOLIS Tour de France Pool!
