13th stage today. Rain, wind and a mountainous course. Five rated climbs, two of over 1000 meters elevation gain. An Austrian who was 55 minutes behind the leaders won the race by four minutes and change over second place. Since it's a cumulative time race, the overall leader kept the yellow jersey.
Congrats to Heinrich Haussler on his first stage win. Gutsy riding on wet pavement. Some of his descents hit 79 mph. In a pouring rain. On a bike.

Vs. has some pretty good TV time for the tour as well.
One of my favorite sporting events each year. I can remember watching every Tour since 1985....
Damn, I'm getting old.
I haven't found much TV coverage, it seemed to have dropped significantly after Armstrong quit. Looks like it might get interesting this year though!
