This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from July 2004 and lives here forevermore.

Good luck Mark Scanlon

Yesterday I mentioned the Tour de France and that it has started. Well after that I discovered that Mark Scanlon is riding the tour as part of the AG2R team. Why does this excite me? Well he’s the first Irish rider since Stephen Roche in 1993 to ride the Tour. It’s nice to have someone to root for and keep an eye on.

As of yesterday Scanlon was lying in 28th place 36 seconds behind. He’s number 149 and I’m hoping he has a good tour, for however long it lasts.
