Interesting stages, not exactly good for Henry, but still I hope he's enjoying the experience. |

 Tour de France - Stage 7
The Race We didn't feel like sitting around and wait for someone to attack. We started dictating the pace ourselves, splitting the pack.
Even before Hautacam, Valverde and Froome attacked. Not rushing anything, we were close by and closing the gap. We would do it downhill.
So we did. We formed a front group. Favorites for the GC started looking and Spilak thought he could take advantage of that today!
Adrenaline was pumping through my body. I was getting hot for action and I attacked! Van Impe was screaming: DON'T, STOP! But I couldn't resist, I was possessed.
I quickly caught Spilak. There were five of us now. And then something interesting began: a battle of endurance.
The first one to crack was Spilak. 4 left.
Valverde attacked again!
Then there were just 3 of us left. My legs were getting heavy, very very heavy. I never had this much trouble climbing before.
Aaarrggghh a terrible cramp as I started the sprint. Gone victory. My legs didn't allow it today.

Mixed feelings today, but a lot of them! During the climb, I can't explain. It was the best feeling ever. I was doing what I was meant to do, at least that's how it felt for me.
But I have been beaten on a summit finish. I dream of becoming one of the best climbers of all time. Today, I might just be among the top 3. At the age of 23, that is just enough. But I need to get better, a lot!
See you tomorrow,
Henry |

That's a monstrous stage, completed by a monstrous ride from Henry, well done. Only, a different step next time?

Still not even half a minute behind, and his form surely won't be getting worse.

Losing 16 seconds to Froome on a finish like this is quite good I'd say

The Hobbit - I loved playing that stage. Maybe my favorite PCM moment ever, even different step next time? Ask and thou shall receive!
Dippofix - Peaking for week 3, with 3 consecutive mountain stages at stage 18 - 19 - 20
Atlantius - It is. Though one day it will have to be the other way around  |

Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.
Therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
Sun Tzu - The Art of War
Tour de France - Stage 8
Yesterday I got a mental beating. I want to be the world's best climber, but I got beaten on a finish uphill. Today I want to show that I have the killer instinct to make my dreams come through. Today I will fight for all I'm worth.
The Race We had a plan today. The plan was far fetched, risky, in some ways unneccesary. And that's what made it great.
Nerz was part of the breakaway.
Before the real action of the stage, I was surprised when Julien Duvivier came riding next to me. I didn't want to argue during the Tour, but he did something else. He congratulated me on my wedding.
Could this be the beginning of making things right?
Nerz messed around with his breakaway companions and took the .HC KoM sprint.
And then it was time to strike, like a thunderbolt. Surprising friend and foe, commentator and fan, with 70 kilometers left to go, Herklotz and I launched our offensive!
We forced the enemy to think quickly. Afraid of missing the boat, some did react. Afraid of going too early, others were left behind.
Nerz waited around for us. In the valley, both he and Herklotz gave it 100%. There was no turning back now. Such a risky move so early in the Tour could be deadly, but no glory to those who don't have anything to lose.
Right before the final, very steep, climb, my team mates were burned up. As they professionally used their hand brake, I used my acceleration to start the finale of the race!
Very soon, things fell apart. Like yesterday, we formed a small group. Valverde, Froome, Schleck and myself. The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the General Classification.
Schleck cracked first! And suddenly it was back to the three of us. You could tell the audience was loving every singly second of it. We were cheered on by thousands of fans. Most of them cheering for the local boy, that would be me!
I had a tough moment right before the summit of the climb. I had to leave a small gap, in order not to blow up my legs completely. I had been such a long day already...
But I'm a fighter. I never knew something else.
In the downhill, I came back. They couldn't just get rid of my that easily!
With a sense of risk, we were reunited.
A sprint would decide between winner and loser today. I had lost so much energy already, attacking from 70km, attacking again before the final climb, returning in the downhill... I had to play the poker/surprise card here.
The speed dropped. Nobody wanted to start the sprint first, nobody wanted to lead out another. Quite late, already, I came out the back and started the sprint first!
I was dying. My legs felt like they were falling off. Every stroke of the pedal I was just unwinding my legs.
Valverde came dangerously close!
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!
VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget a stage in the Vuelta, forget Paris - Nice, forget the National Road Race Title. This is it. Nothing compares to it.
This is the greatest moment of my professional career, nothing comes even close. I had to give every singly drop of blood and sweat in my body, but I made it. This is what I have worked for all these years. And now that I'm here, I only want more and more! I could so easily get addicted to this feeling. Getting out on that podium, facing my fans, my public...
Now I'm sure.
This is my destiny.
I want to win the Tour de France. |

Stunning tactics there, really showing who's Boss early on in the Tour. And after 70 kms of attacking still being able to win the sprint and the stage, that's real class!

The Hobbit - Thanks for the double banana
Dippofix - It is class indeed. Unfortunately he is up to Valverde and Froome. Two other bosses Will be an interesting fight, I think.
Jakstar22 - Will do! |

Henry has certainly announced his arrival on Le Tour
Hope Van Impe gets the rest of the team to look after you now |

sutty68 - I think Van Impe is a persuasive man I think France is celebrating out loud right now, with Henry coming here!
24sebaf1 - It was a risky attempt, it was nice to win the stage (even if it's only by 1 dm) |

Real sorry guys, but I have very little time to report on the past three stages.
I'll go over them real quickly!
Tour de France - Stage 9
Sprint, obviously. Cavendish, obviously.
Result | 1 | Mark Cavendish | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | 4h23'10 | | 2 | André Greipel | Lotto Belisol | s.t. | | 3 | Carlos Barbero | RadioShack - Leopard | s.t. | | 4 | Alexander Kristoff | Team Celesio - Macquarie | s.t. | | 5 | John Degenkolb | Sky Procycling | s.t. | | 6 | Tom Boonen | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | 7 | Bryan Coquard | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 8 | Marcel Kittel | Katusha Team | s.t. | | 9 | Kris Boeckmans | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 10 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Sky Procycling | s.t. |
Tour de France - Stage 10
This stage is not worth losing energy over, so early in the 2nd week. Defend, sit back.
Fortunately, others thought differently. All I had to do was follow. We were putting the pressure on Froome.
The breakaway took the victory of the day, though.
Me and Valverde take back some time on Froome!

Tour de France - Stage 11
Another sprint. Kristoff gave us a reason to celebrate again! Incredible sprint from the Norwegian. His first ever Tour stage win!
Result | 1 | Alexander Kristoff | Team Celesio - Macquarie | 3h49'57 | | 2 | Mark Cavendish | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | 3 | Marcel Kittel | Katusha Team | s.t. | | 4 | Carlos Barbero | RadioShack - Leopard | s.t. | | 5 | Bryan Coquard | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 6 | John Degenkolb | Sky Procycling | s.t. | | 7 | André Greipel | Lotto Belisol | s.t. | | 8 | Reinardt Janse Van Rensburg | Team Argos - Shimano | s.t. | | 9 | Aidis Kruopis | Astana Pro Team | s.t. | | 10 | Tom Boonen | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | 11 | Henry Vergnaud | Team Celesio - Macquarie | s.t. |

Way to go, Kristoff! That gives our team two stage wins now.
Funny detail, of the 6 mass sprints, I finished 11th on 4 of them so far.
You'll forgive me for being so short on these stages. That has to do with keeping the focus for tomorrow.
I will turn in now and get enough rest.
Tomorrow we climb the Mont Ventoux.
