taaramäe white jersey defence

Well if he's 4 minutes ahead of everyone that would be cool.

 

[rides like a girl]

quite a few Movistar riders in the break

Edit--got confused by Johnny Hoogerlands jersey color..had him as a movistar

 

[Parrulo]

Costa in there

that guy is a bit insane lol watch him making the break and get dropped as soon as the route goes up to 1% . . . .

he should be saving his knee otherwise he will get some serious stupid injury

 

[jobiwan]

Anyone suspect the Spanish Inquisition gives it one more go today??

 

[Contre la montre]

Paris isn't far anymore and all jerseys are still up for grabs!

 

[Bumeington]

Anyone suspect the Spanish Inquisition gives it one more go today??

Yes. First climb attack, do or die for Conti, polka for Sanchez. Also, Greipel in the break, legend

What on Earth is Greipel doing in there??

 

[Grand Tourist]

Not really. But that hasn't stopped him yet.

Anybody have any theories about why the cy cling establishment (ASO & Merckx) are so head-over-heels for the Schlecks? I mean, Merckx is Merckx and can cheer on whoever he wishes, but there seems to be a longstanding preference for the Schlecks. (I didn't see Prudhomme celebrating on the line but heard about it.) If they hate Contador, you *know* it isn't because of any clinic concerns.

Yep, they're considered 'cute' whereas most other cyclists look like they earn a living lurking in back alleys waiting for an unsuspecting victim to knife

[Parrulo]

ok break is formed so i am going to do my walk from college back home

cya in 25

p.s. i bet costa is droped before i get home

 

[US Patent Exploding Cyclist]

creo, canto, hablo are completely different verbs

creo = think/i think

canto = sing/ i sing

hablo = speak/ i speak

I believe the point trying to be made is that always saying "yo" when using the "I" form of a verb is not necessary, and this is correct, it is not necessary to use "Yo" or "Tu" etc. in front of every verb at all times.

However, it is ok to use them and can help those who speak Spanish as a second language get accross what they are trying to say, especially if you struggle with tenses, as it will help avoid confusion.

 

[bicing]

What on Earth is Greipel doing in there??

Same reason as the Euskaltel guys, he's going to pace Vanendert up the Galibier for the mountains points.

 

[SarahDane]

no saxo in break, what u talking about?

Front of the peloton instead of back. They actually look like a team, instead of looking like what seems as 3 riders spread in the back.

 

[luckyboy]

Wonder if Sanchez and Vanendert are relying on being allowed up the road on l'Alpe d'Huez.

 

[Maxiton]

Yep, they're considered 'cute' whereas most other cyclists look like they earn a living lurking in back alleys waiting for an unsuspecting victim to knife

You mean they don't? I mean, in the off season?

 

[spalco]

Does ANYONE think TV stays in yellow?

I think it's not out of the question. Unlikely, but not impossible.
