Yes indeed meh hearties, here we are at the start of the Tour de Underpants and I am soooo excited! It’s 5:30 am with my wonderful glass of 2002 Bollinger Champagne and fi and meh awesome friends in Mumble! It’s hard to imagine a more perfect beginning to an epic journey across France and the Underpants!
So far, there are plenty of mouthwords going on in Liege, Belgium – LOL! I can see a distinct Dutch flair to the architecture that they have shown so far, and many buildings appear to have built after WWII. They have a beautiful train station there in Liege. French is spoken there as well as German. Guten tag tram!
The actual racing is set to begin next!!!! Wootage!!!!
The 2002 Bollinger is wonderfully flavorful while being light and airy, with tons of tart green apple, green grape flavors, and strong acidity from beginning to end. The typical bread-dough and yeast flavors are bit more subdued than in the Non-Vintage versions of Bollinger. This is indeed a fine Champagne because of the way it seems to vanish from the palette, yet the flavor lingers on and on! The flavors are so persistent with lots of acidity making this an excellent food wine.
Here they go! Tyler Farrar grits his teeth along the course as he tries to eek out every fraction of a second possible. He looks like a strong contender for sure!
Karsten Kroon seems to be sponsored by a couple of banks but not the PostBank since they went out of business. I thought that was brilliant concept, a bank in a post office! You can mail your parcels as well as get a car or home loan. Nothing like one stop shopping!
Oh yes, back to the Tour de Underpants! Tyler is 4th now with a few strong sprinters having completed their time trials. Dave Millar should get bonus points for his cute butt wiggle! Oh I see that Marcel goes last! I will have to stay tuned!
Since it’s the time trials, it’s difficult to get a sense of who’s winning. Tyler has fallen back to 8th and I need some Le Roule Fromage and crackers in order to keep up my typing strength and creative energy tram!!!! I am hoping that Cadel will win today’s short stage tram!
Brett Lancaster is the new leader at 6:14 am! Nice run! He didn’t seem to be humping too much to take the lead. Oh mys, they are reaching speeds of up to 45 mph during their sprints!
Oh mys, Le Roule fromage is sooo yumm and so great with Champagne! All I wanna do is have some funz and I have a feeling I’m not the only one tram!!! Edval from Norway has a nice butt wiggle too tram and he’s the new leader – hehehehehe!
Nice number on your butt, Mark Cavendish – LOL! Strong run too tram! Hello Bob Roll with your gap-toothed grin tram!
Sylvan Chavenel is now the new leader tram! Oh wait, there goes Fabian Cancellara! He’s the new leader!
Cadel Evans is warming up and he is sweating like Niagra Falls – LOL! Now he’s putting quite a bit of effort into his race! Wheeees! Oh noes, not quite enough to win the leg but certainly a nice effort anyway! Nicely done everyone!
