You are racing?

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!! :D

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!

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

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.
 
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.
