Le Tour may be over but the Maillot Jaune marches on...

If you're anything like me, you've accidentally clicked over in the general direction of VeloNews for a Tour update only to be reminded that the riders crossed the finish line yesterday.

While we detox from three weeks of lukewarm excitement, here's a dose of yellow to keep the shakes away.



While wearing a Maillot Jaune that was bought instead of earned is cycling's equivalent of an aspiring hockey player dropping a massive deuce in the Stanley Cup, you gotta give this wearer of the Golden Fleece a little credit. I spotted him atop a mountain as opposed to the neighborhood bike path.

Even though it might have taken him two years (note the date) he still made it to the top.
