Someone from garmin coming across?

 

[sometriguy]

Why does versus have last climb as cat 2 and cyclingnews has it as a cat 1?

 

[Publicus]

Nope but since you cant get your tongue out of Frankies **** I figured I wouldnt waste my time anymore.

So the whole original point was over your head. Probably a reflexive reaction to the mere mentioning of Lance's name.

Hope?
The last one is pretty easy and adding to that has it's easiest part at the end of it with 5,4%....

The hardest part being 7%....
I mean...
In the end they'll catch Haussler and Chavanell and Haussler will outsprint a 40 men group...

Eurosport say the Garmin guy is Van Velde, but can't see Wiggins, they say.

 

[Parrot23]

Haussler up front, but WHERE is Sastre?

 

[El Imbatido]

Phil just said "i think that is pellozotti coming back (to the lead group), him with his red shorts. WTF??

 

[Bala Verde]

Recap of the race so far? Just got back from my ride. I see chaval and House are still in the break. No Riis shuffles and sly moves? Are they all waiting to drop Contador on the cobbles of paris, or hope for a puncture?

Colour blindness for Phil? lol

 

[mambo#5]

when will Avid come out with ABS breaks for these bikes?

Nope, Got nothing to do with Lance. I just find it funny that you can read Frankies mind by sticking your tongue in his ***.

Noone attackt the slightest bit on the Platzwhaever...
Atleast noone interesting.
Gerdemann totally ****ed up an attack he started on the decent.

It's just incredebly boring.

Some guys struggeled on the climb though.
But noone can really tell who, so we don't know for example if Wiggins is in the group (or again) etc.

 

[msjett]

Ok Phil just floored me...who is johan van den berg?

 

[dgodave]

chocolate brown & robins egg blue. Sooo 2008, ag2r.

[Parrot23]

Sean Kelly just said Schlecks not good descenders. Gun shy. Even says Evans may not like the looks of this.

So he's looking for someone else.

 

[Doug Laipple]

haussler must be doped ... he is riding like a man possessed.

 

[mambo#5]

good to see the name QuickStep reappear from invisibility.

Great or, ahem, fantastic *irony*

I read on one of the tickers that popofthebackovitch got popped of the back on the Plattwalzer... Any truth in that?

The GC contenders will probably say it was too wet, where as it was too windy before on Arcalis. What's next, too hot? Pavement too gravelly? Too many potholes? Leaves on the road (which is legitimate reason for dutch trains to have delays)? Too nippy? Too few spectators?

Thanks for the update!

Cadel is probally up there as far as the tour better decenders - thanks to his mountain biking days so Im not sure what chapter Kelly is on

Yeah, he was dropped for a bit.

Haussler had his weet-bix today....
