He couldn't pronounce it right.

Jeebus freakin christ on a pogo stick! Versus sucks. Half the time they should be showing the race, they show some stupid crap. Crappy quality video feed from the Internet is better than this.

 

[BroDeal]

Poor Cancellara. He will be burned out before they reach the final climb. There goes his chance of hanging on to yellow.

He is a hell of a bike handler at those speeds! But yes, he's expending too much energy getting back on today.

It will be great to see all the freds on the local roads grinding away in huge gears. Now you can see them using ridiculously small gears, spinning like a mouse on a wheel, and barely crawling up small climbs they could power over with a little out of the saddle work.

Ha ! Very good ! I laugh when out on the road when I see all the wannabe's in their Astana kit. Problem being if you don't have a deep, dark Spanish tan the Astana kit looks so bad....... chubby guys with white skin and asatana kit...... very bad look.

Spartacus is back at the front of the bunch, he changed bikes before or a wheel, and then after the descent half the peloton stopped for a pee break...

As a chubby guy I can state without equivocation that chubby guy with ANY team kit is a very bad look.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Starting to look like no yellow for Astana.
Nocentini, Pineau and Guti are all with 4 minutes of the lead.......

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I think it's a bit to earlie to think about that.
Let's see how the lead develops up to Arcalis.

 

[Mellow Velo]

I did say starting.
Sure, it will shrink like crazy when the afterburners go on. Nevertheless...........

 

[Bala Verde]

Would be very anti-climactic if they decide to ride up that last hill with all the favourites en gruppo... Perhaps you need Italians in an Italian race to see firework

Yep good play by Saxo. Staying back an letting Astana do the work. If the Kashjshdojdfhdkjfts team wants yellow they better go chance it.

True.

What are Lance and Klödi doing at the end of the peloton btw?
I missed out on that cause a friend forced my to listen to some music.

 

[Amsterhammer]

They can be boring now for all I care, I have to leave and won't see any pictures till late at night. Rotten timing......

telekom/t-mobile works fine

Yea, you won't look out of place at all in that or Bianachi kit.

No idea. Contador is back there as well.

Ah, the beauty of Eurosport and VS. While VS is on their 10th commercial break in the past 20 minutes, at least I can heard coverage of the race ;-) Same for when they have extra 'stories' running when the race starts getting interesting).

 

[Anonymous]

Look, A feature on Lance, how odd to see that on Versus........

 

[dgodave]

These commentators must have a guidebook explaining every little church in every village.

Yup. What is frustrating is when the audo commentary mentions something they are seeing but not specifically enough to understand what they are talking about. Meanwhile Versus is showing something like a montage of Armstrong video coverage from almost ten years ago.

Can they not show this dude in the Gamin team car in a small window in the corner or something? Do we really need full screen of himevery time he uses the radio?

 

[Bala Verde]

You see, that's the real problem with radios! Now you can have a technical because your radio is kaput and hang onto the car!


hmm GCE and Garmin moving to the front

Joly abandon

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

heino??

Good one.

Not at all. Some Hip Hop. Song by a guy called Kaas.

But now you've come up with him.
We gotta let people know who Heino is.

Garmin wants one last hurrah before they totally fall apart on the final climb.
