I tend to agree with this possibility as well...

Lance meets with CO's Governor For anyone following this story - a new article just posted to the 9News website in Denver. Here's the link: http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=124564&catid=339

Well, I guess the ITT was a foregone conclusion for Spartacus...but I knew I should have written in Tom Zirbel for a spot in the top five...just didn't have a good idea of how well he could go against the top guns. Now we know - what a great ride for Tom!!

Great ride for Tom Zirbel!! :)

Classic. Love the guy who keeps saying "I'm not part of your race!!" :D

Are we picking just the RR or the ITT as well? Would be fun to see predictions for both... I'll send my picks for the ITT, and if others want to do the same maybe Merckx can post them even if it's too late to count them in the standings... Cheers

Thanks for that link - that was cool. :)

Yeah - like my trusty, always entertaining, home-made VHS tape of the 1989 TDF with LeMond & Fignon. Hard to beat. :D

Reviving the Coors Classic For those who were following this thread, you might be interested in this article from yesterday's Denver Post... http://www.denverpost.com/extremes/ci_13288359

Just curious - which Classics did BMC ride this year? With the roster upgrades and some history it seems like they wouldn't need the PT license to get into the races they want - but were they denied access to anything they've targeted so far?

No other Vino fans out there either?? I'm sorta surprised that nobody has either: A) jumped on the Vino bandwagon; or B) disagreed heartily. That said, I am glad this thread hasn't degenerated into a bash-fest like many others do when certain names are mentioned. Anyway - found this pic...

Classic shot of Cote St Roche in L-B-L This one shows up every year in the race galleries for LBL but I never get tired of it - I know the climb comes too early to be really significant but I love the way you can see the whole peloton and get an idea of the gradient.

Well, turns out you were right at least until the big pile-up...at least it was worth a few points for having Greipel in the mix. :p
