It's American polka dot week! First for Taylor Phinney, then Cannondale-Drapac teammate Nathan Brown. VN correspondents Caley Fretz and Andrew Hood are on the ground in France and discuss the climber's jersey, Lance Armstrong's return to cycling media, and a new rule designed to keep the GC men out of sprint finishes. Plus, special hotel room diaries (and theme tunes) from both Brown and Tour of California winner George Bennett.
