Cadel attacks, Caisse chases him down again. AC has two teams (one and a half?) OK just one that he doesn't wear the kit of?

 

[RigelKent]

Oops. Not cadel My bad. Listened to Phil.

I don't know, maybe I'm tired, but this seems exciting.

Cool, attacks. They are making it hard. Silence is pushing and they should really start to shed riders pretty quickly. It will all come to naught.

You know it may completely blow up AG2R. It's not like they have any experience controlling the front of the peleton. Chasing down every move they way they are on the first climb is going to waste a lot of energy and kill their team.

But it is more exciting than yesterday.

I can't believe Franco Pellizotti is sooooo far down in the GC.

 

[msjett]

maybe rabo and silence have a plan? lol

 

[Pezrider]

Pellizotti looks strong, the money was spot on, can the 4 hold on? Voigt would love another Tour stage win!!

I think Redant made a big show of his plans today because he's hoping for help from other teams.

Already down to 3. And being 15 minutes down, Pellizotti should be strong and well rested

Who knows, it was a trully strange thing to do....but it may pay off...stranger things have happened....

 

[mambo#5]

Eff, Efminkini!!

I was beginning to think Versus had gotten the memo, but no such luck.

Lance looks like he is riding in an armchair. Just classic....

And does anyone have Kelly's number? I'm craving a granola bar

 

[msjett]

Popo may have popped already...lol

Popo may have popped already...lol

Where are Kloden and Levi?

Never mind, saw them in the pack.

 

[mambo#5]

he is a fast decender/crasher. either he catches the peloton or goes up in flames.

At least Kelly isn't thinking with her dipstick.

are they marking baby schlek and Evans?

LOL. How funny would that be if he jumped out from behind a tree during the Nature Valley commercial????

Can someone get Phil and Paul a list of the jersey numbers? #25 is the Khazak, not Kloden.

 

[mambo#5]

Klodi getting spit out?

 

[Hotbrakes]

Big Tex has told AG2R to chase, or they wil be thrown out of the Tour.

 

[RigelKent]

Id rather have him pop out of the back seat in the Cadillac ads. Kelly isn't nearly as annoying. And a great improvement over Monica "man hands" from last year's Natore Valley commercials.

YEA!! Another commercial break!

Along with Karpets. And Gerdemann attacked out the back a long time ago with such vaunted climbers as Alessandro Ballan
