Tour de France 2009

The Tour de France is in full swing, and I am absolutely stoked to be watching one of the best sporting events in the world.

Although I obviously cheer for Garmin-Slipstream and Columbia-HTC (two U.S.-based teams), my favorite cycling squad is still Team Saxo Bank. Hopefully Andy Schleck will be able to keep Alberto Contador in check, though I have my doubts about that. Saxo Bank is a strong team, but Contador flies on the pedals like no one else I've ever seen the past couple of years.

I look forward to the next few mountain stages and a 40KM TT to figure out who will wear yellow into Paris.

If you're a cycling fan, then how can you not be excited?
