A couple toughies today

On Monday I told you that today's stage 11 was 167.5KM and went from Lannemezan to Foix. I chose Cadel Evans and Christian Vandevelde to take the stage. What I didn't tell you was that there is a category 1 climb during the day.

There is also a cat 3 mountain and some moderate rises throughout the journey.

With only one second separating the leader from the rest of the pack (leader is Cadel Evans), today could see another yellow jersey swap.

Isn't this great? I get all tingly just watching the Tour. You read it here first the other day, but I'm reaffirming my plan to spend July 2009 AT the Tour. And I'll blog about it from the sidelines.

iPhone - off-topic TDF note

The new iPhone has reportedly sold one million units already. The thing came out on Friday and it's now Monday morning at 10AM.

ONE MILLION SOLD!

That's insanity. How great does a product have to be to sell a million in a single weekend?

I bring this up because the 2009 Tour de France might just be podcast, twittered and blogged via an iPhone.

My plan is to attend each stage of that race and report on it via new technology. Maybe there will be something better by then, but I doubt it.

Updates on stage 10 coming in a few minutes. Today's stage is TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH.
