What a Sunday

Formula 1 at Silverstone in the afternoon, the first real mountain stage of the Tour de France with the arrival at 1700 metres on the plateau of Alpe-Duez in the evening and later at night, the World Cup final at Johannesburg in South Africa. My eyes are in bad shape today. However I thoroughly enjoyed all the three sporting events.

British GP: McLaren scored 2-4 in the race which I think is quite commendable after their aero upgrade failed to deliver in the qualifying. Hamilton's 4th on the grid was a real surprise and 2nd place finish even better. He gave quite a good challenge to Webber. Button's could manage dismal 14th on grid. However his pace was ok during the race and earned himself 4th position also helped by faulty race of Ferrari. McLarens are still leading both championship.

Tour de France: What a thrilling race. Bad luck struck Armstrong twice where he was involved in 2 crashes thus ending his dream of winning the tour a record 8th time. However I believe that he will go into team player role and support his Radioshak team mates who has real go at the tour. Salutes to Lance Armstrong.

Football worldcup final: I was very excited to watch the final match since it comes every 4 years. Talking about the match quality, it was average and didn't like the overall finish by both the teams. May be playing at such a huge stage was taking a toll on the player's mind. Spain conquered world event in the end. It was wonderful to watch Casillas lift the world cup trophy. Africa hosted the event with full heart. Congrats.

Hoping to get some good sleep now ;)
