Ha Ha Ha.....I don't do cold and windy. I was just saying that I'll be out of Adelaide when the Tour de Lance arrives in A town (probably not, even HE cant ruin the little pro cycling we get).

The Tour of Wellington is normally on at the same time as the TDU. No Lance show there!!

Massive lol at no. 80 Jack Bauer. I bet nobody believes him when he says who he is.

Jack is a real talented kid.... trust me it's a name that you'll hear in cycling circles a lot more in the future.

Pez has done a couple of interviews with him already... http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=7584&status=True&catname=Latest News

I'm not doubting you, it's just an awesome name.

Maybe he should specialize in 24 hour mountain bike racing.

Jack Bauer takes out stage 2!

 

[craig1985]

I saw that Flandis came in 45 seconds down in the opening TTT.

 

[Tugboat]

Flandis 33rd on stage 2, 2:32 down on Jack Bauer. Big drama though with some huge crashes in the crosswinds and defending champion Hayden Roulston a DNF!

80 people went down at about 50kms per hour in one crash. I'm getting my info from facebook, which is obviously not as relaible as twitter.

In the 2006 race Paul Crake was pushed into a fence by the strong cross winds and was wheel chair bound. Poor bloke.

 

[Tugboat]

The wind yesterday (gusts of about 60km/h) wasn't as bad as in 2006 when Paul Crake had his unfortunate accident (gusting up over 100km/h).

Kiwis have a weird perception on what constitutes 'news'

 

[craig1985]

Flandis came in the bunch that finished 19 seconds down.

 

[Tugboat]

Looks like Jack Bauer will be spending his second 24 in yellow.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Landis now in 32nd, 11:18 back.

So he's picking up right where he left off with Ouch.

i want him to do well. ouch indeed.

 

[craig1985]

He came 9th today and only 6 seconds down.

 

[BroDeal]

He is up to 14th place. Go FLandis!!!

 

[craig1985]

He is up to 14th place. Go FLandis!!!

Only 12 minutes down overall though

 

[blackcat]

that was where he was in about 2006. And we know now he is drinking more Jack D and more lagers than in 2006. I say Landis is gonna win with a come from behind attack.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

He actually rode fairly well the last few days to end up 17th overall. This is as good as anything he did all year. Here's a CN quote:

The high-profile American Floyd Landis, caught in the chaos of the mass crash on the opening day, finally rode with prominence on the final two days to finish 17th overall.
