It would be amazing. Loki can take the place of Didi the Devil by the side of the road. Tony Stark would want to join, but, given the UCI’s restrictions on cycling technology, would not deign to ride a mere carbon fiber, engine-less, jet-less, arc-reacterless vehicle and would instead choose to mock Thor mercilessly. Cap would fare better, seeking to take up where Lance Armstrong left off—no EPO necessary. The early sprinter’s stages can be decided by who can outride Thor’s hammer—can Cav do it?!—but the first big throwdown comes on the medium mountain stages when breakaway riding over the mountain leads to a head-to-head battle between Thor and Thor Hushovd.

Thor de France

Go Schlecks!

Andy Schleck’s Tour (by djeanaenator)

Niels Christian Jung’s documentary following Andy Schleck (and Leopard Trek) in the run-up to the Tour

A lot of focus on time trial work (wind tunnels, positioning, velodrome), team bus strategy chats, a lot of stretching, cursing downhill finishes. the Schleck fishing lake, the Liege-Bastogne-Liege drama and sadness about Wouter

Not all in English but mostly.  Also, I don’t think you have to specifically be an Andy fan to find some of the stuff in this video interesting.

Reblogging mostly so I can find it later when I actually have headphones and can listen.
