I have welcomed the return of the Tour de France in my summer of European sporting events. Today though, I was happy to see the rookie Cancellara —who won the yellow jersey in the opening time trial— leading the peleton as hard as he could in the closing kilometers.
I think it is one of the special moments of the Tour de France when we see the overall leader working hard for someone else in his team. It is just one of the reasons I watch the tour year after year.
