"i had planned to take the first 6-7 kilometers of the race very easy because it was a long time trial and i wanted to build some progression. but not even a kilometer or so into it, the next thing i knew, i was on the ground. i just wanted to press the reset button and start over. it just seemed like a bad dream." even with the drug scandals, this year's tour has been fun to watch. (between soccer games, that is.) the real story starts on thursday, so set your tivos accordingly.
