Holy Sh!t! An Asian in 8th Place at the Tour de F@cking France!
Japanese rider Fumiyuki Beppu (Skil-Shimano) was able to hang with the break today and get himself a top ten finish. The highest an Asian has ever placed in the Tour. No, Kazakhstani Alexandr Vinokourov does not count. My mind is exploding.
I meant to make my predictions for this year’s Tour and here I am a little bit late.
Overall/Yellow – Lance Armstrong
Points/Green – Tom “Tommeke” Boonen
Climbers/Polka Dot – Andy Schleck
Young/White – Roman Kreuziger
edit: Woops, I forgot that Andy cannot win both the Polka Dots and the White jersey.
It has been a great tour so far. Thor Hushovd will take over green after Cavendish drops out in the mountains. Contador/Armstrong will be 1/2 for yellow. Tom Boonen will throw the best tour after-party.
