it's also lance armstrong's last international race. well, until another race offers him a 2 million dollar appearance fee. sadly, australia has experienced some devastating floods lately. armstrong gave $50,000 for disaster relief. kind of seems like chump change to me for what he received.
speaking of armstrong, twitter is now a sponsor of team radio shack. if you have read a few of my previous posts, you know i am not really a lance fan. i also do not follow him on twitter, but i do enjoy people's re-tweets and off hand comments to him. sorry, i never earned the "banned by lance" addition to my avatar. i digress. the fact that twitter is sponsoring team radio shack almost caused me to shut down my twitter account in protest. i slapped myself silly and snapped out of it, but not after i curled up in a ball and cried for a few hours. for the love of all that is holy, what's next in terms of sponsorship?
so after stage 1, matt goss (htc-highroad) took the stage win and seems to be giving andre greipel (omega pharma-lotto) a run for his money. it would be nice to see an australian win, especially with cadel not riding in this year's tour down under. unfortunately, i have yet to find a feed that works, so i am stuck looking at pictures via velonation and steephill.tv. i know the tour down under isn't the most exciting race, but it is the first race. personally, i am looking forward to the spring classics and then my favorite race the giro d'italia. this will do for now.
