Tour de Underpants – Day 2!

Ah yes, here we are in the midst of the Day 2 action on the Tour de Underpants, 6:07 am Sunday morgen with meh Bollinger bubbly and its epic tram!  The guy in the red shorts has The Bulge of the Day Tram!! Yays!!  It looks a bit fake from here thoughs!!!

It’s the first day of racing on the open road through Belgium, which looks just like France there in the countryside.  So far, I have observed one rider nearly losing his bicycling shoe, another rider with a chunk of his arm missing, and another rider nearly ride straight into a concrete median after getting his brake adjusted!  Another rider had to pull over and have a mechanic look at his bike.  The mechanic fiddled with it and the rider hopped back on and took off, as the peloton rode on by, awwwws!

 Oh noes, the narrow uphill corner in the first hill really served as a choking off point for the peloton.  That is one of the advantages of being further ahead of the field, as well as staying clearer of accidents like the one saw in last year’s Tour that took out like a dozen or more cyclists in one accident in the crowded peloton.

 And I can also see how some riders are falling back on the hills while others are appearing strong and able to keep a good pace uphill.

 Coolies!  They had some inflatable slides and such set up along the way!  I wouldn’t mind sliding down the slide and such!

Yays for another morgen on the Tour Tram!!!  Ah yes, the leaders are over 3 minutes ahead of the peloton tram!

 Ok, when is the commercial break?  I need a bubbly refill and some Le Roule and crackers tram!!!   Breakfast of Champions Tram!!!  Do it baby at 6:43 am tram!!!!!

 Back with fromage and bubbly!  Epic picture of the peloton hauling ass through the heavily-treed hilly area!

 Oh mys, they showed the worst of the accidents from last year, and a clip from a prior year of one of the Schleck brothers after an accident where his bloodied rear end was hanging out of ripped biking shorts.  That looked like an incredible pain in the rear!  Yes indeed, a reminder of the danger of bicycling thousands of miles throughout the French region of Europe at top speeds with very little to nothing standing between you and the pavement!

Yohanne Green of France had to make a cycle change on an uphill segment.  Catch back up tram!

A bit later, it was like ooops!  Someone in the peloton fell and took a few riders out with them tram!!!  Some peeps put some solar panels on some very old buildings.  The owners must be Dutch; they have solar panels all over the place in that country – LOL!

Oh mys, sometimes the live coverage is less than appealing, such as watching the leader blow his nose without a Kleenex as he pedals full speed ahead – LOL!

Oh noes, the middle of the peloton was caught up outside a restaurant Villa D’Asle!  Many peeps were held up and such!  All of the riders are back in the race now tram!

Yes a bit further up the road looks more Dutch to me, yet with the symmetry of the French, with the industrial waterway on one side, and on the other, roads with arrows painted on them, and the greenhouse with row after row of flowers, and where individual sections of the flats have different colors of roofing and siding and such.

 Oh mys, that very steep uphill area in the Dutch/French town of Seraing looks agonizing as they press on for the finish!

Peter Sagan won the stage!  Nicely done!  Fabian Cancellara keeps the Yellow Jersey Tram!!  Awwwws, Cadel Evans placed 20th in this stage!  I was hoping for better!  Perhaps we have some new winners on board for the yellow jersey, or perhaps not – LOL!  Only time will tell tram!!!

LOL!  I get the feeling the model that gave the white shirt to the winner couldn’t wait to get off the stage or something – LOL!  Perhaps she didn’t like the winner or something!

OK, that wraps up another epic day of cycling and beautiful Belgium/Franco Scenery Tram!   Take care and party hearty, meh hearties tram!!!
