Faster, higher, stronger
The Broom Wagon likes Olympic promotional guff as much as it likes a 110-minute powerpoint presentation by Jeff from marketing, which is to say very much.
How I learned to respect Wiggo
The Broom Wagon is a sceptic, probably for life. Blame it on Bjarne Riis, Floyd Landis, Jan Ullrich, Ivan Basso, Richard Virenque or Christophe Moreau. Blame it on Alexander Vinokourov, Riccardo Ricco, Bernard Kohl, Alejandro Valverde, Alberto Contador or others too numerous to mention or too embroiled in ongoing legal cases. Blame it, if you like, on an early man-crush on the phenomenally flawed Marco Pantani. But there it is.
Don't look back in anger
Isn't it nice when we can all get along? The Broom Wagon's heart has been warmed like a buttered croissant by the events of the past 48 hours.
Keep the children dreaming
Ahead of last Saturday's prologue, Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme gave his address to the assembled riders. "It is your duty to keep the children dreaming,” Prudhomme said, leading the Broom Wagon to briefly assume Prudhomme had chosen an unconventional moment to support the use of prescription sleeping tablets in sport.
