[zapata]

Phil and Paul keep mentioning Lance, lucky i still have my english audio feed bookmarked. It really is amazing how much they can mention him.....

Today they have every right to.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

lol @ paul + phil talking up the attack by LA

 

[Jamsque]

Don't worry Melo before we get to watch the giro again we have those nice picture-esque views of the Vuelta to look forward too

Is Contador riding the Vuelta this year? Please say no. I know correlation does not imply causality, but the dullness of this and last year's Tours has re-affirmed my belief that Contador is a boring rider who makes every race he enters less exciting just by being there.

 

[Publicus]

why is astana pulling at he front anyway, better sit up boy and save it for thursday.

I wouldn't call what they are doing pulling.

 

[indurain666]

If Cunego stays there, he gets it. He has a decent sprint.

maybe they get compensated for the mention. Paul and Bob (yes, Phil too) would be trillionaires.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Barredo drops Armstrong?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Barredo just attacked.

Here's your Look II.

 

[Ferminal]

better get on the back again Lancey.

Sure...lets get more exciting riders such all those 188 guys who don't have the balls to attack him and contribute to make the race even more boring...

 

[Bala Verde]

Barredo Attack, Armstrong looks back for someone else to solve it.

Fedrigo

Fedrigo for the win!

 

[Parrot23]

Would be hilarious if McQuaid was in the ump's car and drove into Armstrong just before the summit. Quack, quack, quack....Witness tampering.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Armstrong dropped by everyone now.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Today they have every right to.

Perhaps not in the manner they did, though.

 

[battery89]

You are crazy, 08 was an absolute thriller.

TBH all I remember is the contenders riding together to the finish of decisive stages relatively close together with no major attacks, bar Sastre on the alp of course (removing ricco's win). Also Andy hunger flatting, basically negating his chances overall. Memory's probably wrong, might have to recheck.

 

[Mellow Velo]

WTF? Barredo drops Lance and the lads, with 74kms to go. Fedrigo goes!
Lance is struggling, maybe?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

LOL, Lance tried to get on a wheel then got shelled.

Really no reason for Lance to go in the red. Long way to the finish. He'll get up to the leaders.

 

[Big GMaC]

Ha haha
lolol

 

[lilyprotector]

Phil and Paul
"slobber slobber....mmmm Lance...slobber..."

It is the same reaction I have to beer.

LOL

phil said lance has raised $235 million for cancer which is totally awesome. no matter what you think of him, he's done a ton for cancer advocacy. and then i thought, hmmm, if phil said it, the number could actually be $23.50 for all we know (just kidding, but i did have to question the source not getting confused)

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Lance wheelsucking the piccolo principe

 

[Bala Verde]

WTF? Barredo drops Lance and the lads, with 74kms to go. Fedrigo goes!
Lance is struggling, maybe?

coming back.

But will he win the sprint?

 

[nicholaaaas]

tell lance it's not 1999-2005

 

[armstrong]

What would LA have to do in order to win the stage? He obviously can't outsprint the others.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Barredo again. Ferrigo follows.
