Joys and Blues for Tejay Van Garderen & Co.


The Time Trial brings out the sleekest man and machine

American Tejay van Garderen finished 5th after a great race, and at age 25 he shows a lot of Tour promise.

Congratulations are in order for the Stage 1 winner

Is the well-coiffed Marcel Kittel the new Mark Cavendish? He won an amazing four stages, including Paris.

Always thrilling for a Frenchman to win a stage

Frenchman Tony Gallopin did his country very proud by grabbing the maillot jaune, and Tour lead, for Bastille Day. 

The Time Trial is the Race of Truth, and there was no questioning who was the strongest

Tony Martin won 2 of an amazing 7 stages for the Germans: Marcel Kittel (4) and André Greipel (1) were winners, too. 

Riding away after a crushing shortfall at the Stage 15 line

A great but heartbreaking ride for New Zealander Jack Bauer: Just meters from the finish, the sprinters swallowed him up.

A premature but inspiring finish to the Tour

In a courageous effort, badly hurt American Andrew Talansky rode 60k entirely on his own to finish Stage 11.
