Well today I finally saw in the Tour De France something I have wanted to see since last year. Some one in the break away group win a stage, well it looks like Sylvain Calzati (of Team AG2R Prevoyance) did just that with the second place winner being 2:05 behind him. It was cool to finally see that. But I will admit it was not as exciting as all the other stages where the fight was at the very end of the race. But it was fun to see a break away rider win the stage.

Well I have a VPN end point into my home network.

- Games as a service is fraud. by Michael O'Connor
I found this the other day, and he is right games as a service is fraud.
Welcome , today is Sunday, June 13, 2021
I wish they’d show it on something other than OLN.
Last year, I blogged the race; this year things were too hectic. You did find the TDF blog, right?
No Rob I did not see the TDF blog, could you post a link to it?
There’s a post on my blog about info sources for the “Tour de France.”
Initially I tried to post it here, but your spam blocker complained. No problem, I understand. Hey, I got a post out of it!
Le Tour de France is a pretty cool race to watch. I was also happy to see the breakaway succeed. I can’t wait until they hit the mountain stages. The shots on TV don’t do justice to how steep some of the climbs are tho’.
Thanks Rob. I still have to look into putting a image verification in, then maybe I can get rid of the word filter.
Again thanks for putting it on your blog. Also if you ever have a comment you want up, and have trouble with the spam filter, you are welcome to put a place holder comment up, and email me the real post and I can place it up.
