Phil just called himself and Paul "Neutral observers."

That's more disgusting than the picture earlier.

 

[Pezrider]

Wow, Caisse is working hard.

*******s!!
Im on Pellizotti!!

 

[Cobber]

Oh no... Andy punctured

 

[Cobblestones]

Ha, we're getting some drama after all.

 

[whiteboytrash]

Fark ! A.Shleck flat..... outside 3.0km....

 

[Cobber]

Phew... he's back

 

[RigelKent]

Phew... he's back

Good boy, Jens.

 

[whiteboytrash]

Back on. Very cool Andy.

Did the peleton turn off the gas to let Schleck back, it seems a bit weird the way they slowed down.

 

[RigelKent]

Tour gets just what they want! 3 French victories in a row!

 

[BroDeal]

BBox is having a great Tour.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

great sprint.

 

[Cobber]

Well... I'm glad the break (just) stayed away.... congrats Fedrigo!

I guess BBox aren't complaining about this years route!

 

[Pezrider]

Damn it Pelezotti went too ealry, I had my mortgage on him!!
Oh well there is always stage 10!!

 

[Hotbrakes]

Whats that in your B Box?

Perrick by a nose!
Great rabbit and hare chase.

 

[RigelKent]

The GC is dull but the rest of the race has been fun.

Yesterday was Luis Leon Sanchez.... but a great first week for French riders none-the-less.

Really, Freire is so strong, and then RAB can't close the gap, with another team!!! Menchov was only used in the last 2K when it was already impossible to chase them down. He should have been chasing from the moment they decided to launch Freire/when Freire said he would win. The whole team worked really hard and the result is zip.

Seriously, Breukink should start questioning his own position. He seems to be incapable of acting as a leader and be decisive...

Great win by Fedrigo though! What a performance, holding a chasing peloton off!

You bet.

Woops. That's right

 

[RigelKent]

Well, back to work for me next week. Thanks all for improving the entertainment value of these stages.

 

[whiteboytrash]

Well tomorrow is refill day so expect to see Astana firing come Tuesday.

 

[Not Riding Enough]

Menchov was only used in the last 2K

Except when he got the water ;-)
