Michael Ignatieff and the Tour de France

Our Leader is truly amazing -- not only is he a world famous progressive internationalist and thinker but he is also a world class sportsman! (Just don't tell the Conservatives he is cycling for Russia -- they'd use it in an attack ad for sure).


NB, just so everyone is clear -- this is intended as humour -- the Russian cyclist is not our Leader ...






PERPIGNAN, France -- Five years to the day after he put on the yellow jersey, Thomas Voeckler of France claimed his first stage victory in the Tour de France.

...

Voeckler clocked four hours, 29 minutes, 35 seconds, seven seconds faster than the peloton that was barreling down on him. Mikhail Ignatiev of Russia was second ahead of Britain's Mark Cavendish, who won the peloton's sprint.
