With the "Super Bowl"-level hype out of the way, the Tour de France finally gets underway tomorrow.  Unlike the Super Bowl, however, the Tour action and drama will of course continue for 3 weeks.  "3 weeks of happiness" I've heard on many an occasion.  And this year the course is designed to keep the suspense as long as possible; 3 weeks from tomorrow, a magnificent penultimate stage to Mont Ventoux on the day before the arrival in Paris.  Should be fun.  -Pete
