First off, I was very glad to see David Millar win the stage. Garmin has had a rough road of it and David hasn't wone a stage in years (10?). I am also glad just because he has always been a rider I have favored.
I know you love your Wiggo, Incubus, but I have just never taken to him for some reason (prior to this Tour).
What do you think about the talk of him having these moments of disrespect toward other riders and also his refusal to speak in French to the French press?
I know what you are saying that it reminds you of the Tours with Lance. I thought the same thing. (of course, the feeling attached to that thought was sadness that Lance is no longer riding).

I know what you are saying about wanting to see what Froome can do. Especially when I first starting watching the Tour I would have the same thoughts when I saw riders who
appeared stronger than their leader. Froome will have his day, though. Some team, or Sky will at some point pick him up to take on that role.
No doubt, we will see the same happen to Tejay. He is young so I am hopeful that he might be our new Lance! (ok, one can dream, right?) He does well on both the flats and the mountains, so he really may be a Tour contender some day.
Ok, I will stop rambling...stage 13 is on!
