Tour de franks

I've never watched the tour de france before but this year I find myself tuning in when there is nothing else on TV, and while a lot of the stages are extremely boring, some of the stuff that goes up an into the alps has some great scenery, and I can't believe they can climb like they do, one guy in particular, Alberto Montador (who has won the tour 3 times I guess) just started flying when he began climbing the mountains, I barley saw him sit or slow down, it was amazing.  I love seeing the views, France seems like a really cool place.
