Oswald Cycle Works

Tour De France 2006

Live Coverage:

After a long day of racing the field has been reduced to a final five contestants. As the racers approach the intermediate sprint, the pace picks up. The racers cranks spin faster and faster as if there was no chain connecting their gears at all. Hushovd is set up to take the sprint when the scarlet pimpernel appears from nowhere and steals the victory. The riders regroup after the sprint in order to maintain their dominating lead. Now comes the descent. The riders crest together and gain momentum. They begin to string out. Now comes the final sprint. Hushovd is in the lead. Wait, now Mcewen is in the lead. Hushovd and Mcewen are dueling it out. The speed these racers are attaining is unbelievable. And the sprint goes to……. Hushovd.

But wait,



It’s just Josh and Tom “sprinting” down Newtown hill on their single speeds.

Jared, who saw the whole thing (from his superior vantage point behind us), summed it up pretty well:
"You have no idea how stupid that looks."
