Well it's been a long time between drinks. It seems that life got in the way in the past few months but as the most important race of the year is here, so am I.
And what a start it has been.
After what should have been a beautiful and exciting first stage in Corsica we were left with a shambolic race. The good old Orica-Green Edge bus getting stuck under the finish line really caused mayhem and then crashes galore changed what should have been an awesome stage. Although I'm sure Kittel would disagree!
There is no doubt there is a lot of speculation for this years Tour. After a somewhat lackluster race last year cycling fans and yearning for a real battle and although some commentators are already writing Chris Froome's name in the record books I think it will be more than a one horse (or dog) race.
A few names that spring to mind are Contador, Rodriguez, Valverde, Evans and of course Froome.
But it is the Tour de France and anything can happen and most likely will.
I'm geared up for late nights surviving on 4-5 hours sleep but it will be all worth it. It always is!
