That Bicycle Race ended along the Champs Elysees yesterday, and the Blob will give you four guesses who won. These first three, however, do not count:
1. Pee Wee Herman.
2. You, on your 26-inch Huffy with the cool headlamp.
3. Lance Armstrong, posing as "Chance Le Chance," a humble farmer from Varennes who never heard of these PEDs of which you speak, nope, huh-uh, don't even knoooow what you're talkin' about.
Give up?
Well, if your fourth guess was Egan Bernal, a 22-year-old Colombian, you win. Bernal didn't win a single stage of That Bicycle Race (real name: The Tour de France), but so what? He won anyway!
And he's not only the first Colombian to win the Tour, he's the youngest winner in 110 years. That's a whole century plus a decade to you and me, kids!
So here's to him. And here's to you, because now you can win your next bar bet by saying "I bet I know who won the Tour de France and you don't."
Egan Bernal. Remember the name. Your next free drink hangs on it.
