Throughout the Tour de France, Australian professional cyclist Richie Porte will be checking in. Here is his latest entry, as told to ESPN contributor Rupert Guinness:Stage 13: Bourg Saint Andéol to La Caverne du Pont DArc, 37.5km (23.3miles)I only learned about the Nice terrorist attack on Friday morning. What can I say ... Its really shocking. I live in Monaco with my wife Gemma. I train often on the nearby roads.Its not the news anyone wants to wake up to, but I think it puts everything into perspective.?On Thursday we had the problems on Mont Ventoux; but this is only a bike race, and that was put into perspective by the events in Nice. Im thinking of all those affected in Nice.As for what will be the ultimate impact of what happened at Mont Ventoux on Thursday? All I can say is: I pulled up a bit sore, but that is not an excuse for my performance on Friday: the stage 12, 184km km time trial fro Bourg-Saint-en-Andéol to Al Caverne I the Pont DArc.I dont think you can really say the crash on Mont Ventoux had a direct result, especially when we were out on a course so affected by wind. That was the biggest battle out there.Sure, I couldnt really hear the radio, so I wasnt that aware of my time gaps. I went through the first check point with a pretty good time, and from there lost some time on Dutchman Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) who eventually won the stage. I was just riding on feel and to be honest it wasnt the best feeling.?It was just such a tough time trial and with the wind thrown in, I dont think anyone could say that they particularly enjoyed that experience. But while initially I wasnt so happy, when I saw the results of the rest of the GC [general classification] guys, I realised I wasnt too far off and had put some time into some of them.Eighth overall at 4:27 to leader Chris Froome (Sky) is better - positionally - than 11th at 2:22. Weve also got a very hard eight stages left and I still think anything can happen. Im taking things one day at a time, but I take confidence that I have been climbing up there with the best and have the legs.The next time trial, 17km stage 18 from Sallanches to Megève on a course that will suit the climbers like me, could be a prime chance to gain back some time. Those spots on the podium are far from decided. I think were in for more fireworks in this next week. For now, Im thinking about recovering and getting back on the bike to race it.Air Jordan Outlet . Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. Wholesale Air Jordan . The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said.

Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void. Cheap Jordan From China . The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup. Air Jordan China . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.The Buffalo Sabres took a big swing by trading a third-round draft pick to the Nashville Predators for the rights to negotiate with Hobey Baker Award winner Jimmy Vesey before he becomes an unrestricted free agent on Aug. 15. Despite the best efforts of general manager Tim Murray, head coach Dan Bylsma and (probably) Jack Eichel to persuade him to sign in Buffalo, the Harvard winger says he plans to hit the market and meet with a short list of teams.The list of teams interested in getting one of those coveted meetings will not be short. Vesey has been tabbed as an instant top-six forward. In fact, had he signed after college with the club that originally drafted him, the Predators would have inserted him directly into their playoff lineup. In his final two seasons at Haarvard, he scored 104 points in just 70 games and was a plus-34.ddddddddddddOne of the most interesting parts of Veseys upcoming decision is that money is not a factor. He will play on an entry-level contract plus bonuses, which any team that signs him will be prepared to pay. So his decision will come down to which team has the best sales pitch. Will it matter more to Vesey to win this season or to build a future with other great players? How much does he value market size and TV exposure?Lets look at the selling points and drawbacks of the teams we already know are on his short list and others that may come out of the shadows as contenders: ' ' '
