Just as things get interesting

I'm not a very patient person, and I'm one that needs to do something constantly - I can't just sit down and do nothing for long periods of time. So how do you think I've been feeling during the "transition stages" from the Pyrenees to the Alps? Finally some super action once we hit the Alps, it's like the sub-summer temperatures woke all the big names up and they decided to get going on stage 15. If the next 3 stages are like the last we are in for an absolute ripper (even better than the World Championship of Curling Final in Edmonton 98)!

You know what else grinds my gears, stoopid so-called sport experts in the media who every day for the last week have been saying that Cadel has hung onto the yellow jersey but 1 solitary second! Like Cadel and the Schlek family were really fighting for it!? So what do you reckon my week 2 highlight was? yep Stage 14 to Digne les Bains and the winner Oscar Freire. Just listening to these experts pronounce his name was pure gold! We've discussed pronunciation before here at MIT, but Oscar's surname is not pronounced; Freeer, Free-erer, Frereeerie, Frrrrrrr, not even Fre. Reminds me of Kent Brockman "Kuala, Kuala Lum.... France!"
