Stage 2 A Shout out to Scotland! 49 km

Before leaving England, I wanted to give a shout out to my brothers and sisters in Scotand who will finally have the chance to escape over 300 years of English oppression this September. Here I am riding with the cross of St. Andrew's:



Very tough stage. Rode into a stiff headwind from west with no peleton to protect me. Also, the first categorized climbs of the Tour on Beaver Creek Hill - a Category 3 climb going west, Category 4 heading east.


Across the pond, Vincenzo Nibali won a hilly stage and earned the yellow jersey; however, he was rebuffed by the podium girl when he leaned in for his customary victory kiss. The English are nearly as uncivilized as Americans. Everyone will be happy when the Tour gets to the Continent.
