Castilla y Leon

Lance! Alberto! Sastre! Vande Velde! Menchov! Valverde!

And so on and so on......

Castilla y Leon is turning out to have the best start list of any stage race so far this season. Who is going to take out? And what is the purpose of having good form now, if you want to peak for the Tour?
 
No coverage outside of Spain, I see.:(
More Geo restrictions.
No wonder Spanish races can't find sponsors.
...at least Coppi e Bartali starts tomorrow.

Oh, and it looks like Lance is going to skip his conquest of the Giro, after all.
I'm shocked.:rolleyes:

.....where did that other....er....comment go? Edited for content, no doubt.

I dont think its in the best interest of Astana to win this race in a normal year. But because its the Alberto and Lance show they have to win to keep the show going.

yes, coverage only in Spain en El Deporte, I think. It seems LA had broke something, but this could mean nothing ( see his friend Tyler:rolleyes:). Hm... it was a misery; LA is young but he's gotta learn; LA was too nervous. Y que dice Contador? Alberto , ahora quien esta 'el nervioso'?

Nordic? Than try Cantabria channels:)or one from Pais Basco:rolleyes:
Does anybody know who was the commentator of the race, Pedro Delgado? He is a helluva commentator without parti-pris for any particular rider. very good indeed!

Susan off topic but can I make a request? Could you either write Lance! Alberto! Carlos! Alessandro! or Armstrong! Contador! Sastre! Valverde!

If you are posting as you, fine - show your partisanship. But if you're posting as a representative of cyclingnews then surely the latter (all surnames) is more correct?

No comment on the race but eveything about The Lance but his next bowel movement. Maybe someone will post about that later.

Lol. By the looks of it he scratched his knee in the crash as well. Off to check the vid once again.

I don't really get this post. And who's Alessandro?

Ithink the point BG is making is to treat all riders with equal respect, by calling them all by their first names, or all by their surnames, rather than the DiscoStana riders by their first, and rest by their surnames. Which I think is fair enough, although we know in the CN universe all riders are equal but some are more equal than others.

My ex-wife's new lover, but aside from that, I am not sure why bianchi or Susan included his name? Nobody by that name has won anything significant for awhile.

Pettachi? muddled around in the Tour of Britain and won the 2nd stage in the Tirreno. Better than nothing though. Or you were referring to your ex-wife's new lover, who, in that case, scored... your ex-wife.
