Le Tour on Twitter: Episode 1

You'll have noticed throughout the Tour so far I have a Twitter feed on display of all the cyclists in the Tour de France as well as a number of journalists and media outlets that are following the race bringing you their thoughts as and when they put them into cyberspace. On top of that, every now and then, I'll post a list of some of the best Tweets I come across from the previous day or days depending when I get the chance to troll through the varied words of wisdom. Here's episode one of this Tweeting saga...

Levi Leipheimer ‏@LeviLeipheimer
Sagan "covered" @mcewenrobbie 's Dumb & Dumber victory salute. Was that 2007 Robbie?

Nicolas Roche @nicholasroche Crazy day in #tdf12. Happy with 7th on b day. hard finish in boulogne. ... Not happy with commisaires putting every one in same time. I dont think every one was caugh behind that crash at 500m. Not fare.
