I think the orange fellas are on a bit of a march...nearly the whole team...bloody hell!

Could you imagine if it was Armstrong out?! Versus might be off-air!

He would be absolutely inconsolable. And Versus would just re-run the Lance Video Hagiography they ran for 12 hours straight before the start of the Tour in lieu of the actual stage.

 

[sportzchick]

Maybe he'll start yodeling?

ahahhaha

wouldnt it be great though

Frankie Andrieu is a freaking giant compared to Levi!

**And watching him restrain himself from asking how this will affect Lance is just gold**

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Atleast someone tried...
Let's see what will happen next.

And there goes Downhill Linus.

 

[Parrot23]

Is Haussler acting independently and/or, possibly, setting up for Schlecks?

Correction: Sastre, LOL!

 

[Wergeland]

You mean Sastre.

 

[Parrot23]

Yup, sorry!

There we go... saving the Q for the man himself!

I am sincerely hoping for an attack, but actually believe that nothing will stick. Cadel will give a dig, Schlecket may give a dig (though he and Lance are buddies now, so I won't count on it), and none will be hard enough to break up the pack.

I hope I am wrong.

I'm expecting fireworks

Ummm, what does that have to do with Frankie's interview of Levi???? That's what my comment was about.

 

[msjett]

I am expecting the usual fizzer....but I would be happily surprised by some fireworks....

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I wonder if Gerdemann is to weak to get closer to the front group, or if he tries to maintain calm and hold his advantage over the fav group.

I hope you, rather than I am correct. Unfortunately, this Tour has been nothing but sad and disappointing thus far, and I worry that is just how the whole thing will continue.

I agree this tour has been lame, but these are professionals and eventually their competitive spirts must come out

he asked Lance how would the loss of Levi affect him and Astana. So he must not have been to restrained since he asked the man himself.

Jeebus. Calm down Bobke. You apparently didn't see the interview with Levi.

 

[Anonymous]

Someone other than Astana needs to take up the pace and shed the dead weight. Right now Astana is riding hard, but not hard enough to do anything but make non climbers uncomfortable. If you still see Nocentini at the top, this stage is a joke like the rest have been. I just don't understand why Saxo or Garmin are allowing Astana to set pace. That just shows weakness.

 

[Parrot23]

How can Haussler climb like this and sprint nearly like Cavendish?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

This is soooo unexciting....

Can someone do something please!

 

[msjett]

Gawd I hope so...I dunno how much more of this waiting for someone to do something I can take...Its beginning to not be worth sleep deficit I have built up to watch this race.

Lance has a mountain bike helmet on.

He was supposed to be a type of Bettini guy actually...
He finished 7th in Zurich years ago...
I wonder what kind of racer he'll turn out to be in the end.
