What an AWESOME performance by Louis Meintjes - leaving legends like Contador and Quintana in his wake! And I am not even a cycling fan (other than the Tour de France) but I was out of my seat watching that finish.

Was also a bit upset at the commentators' bias, not even mentioning Meintjes in the breakaway group right until the very end. Only after checking the live positions and race times on the TDF website did I realize our local boy is in the group. The stats coverage of the splits between groups and who are in those groups had been  bit disappointing this year.

My fave to win is Aru - purely because he is such an aggressive climber. But after watching Meintjes, he is definitely one for the future. Very proud of the guy. Now let's hope he can catch Yates somehow. The stage 13, category 1 climbs are going to separate the bicyclists from the tricyclists.
