Lol, who is this Lars Boem they keep talking about.
Somebody should say the doubel O is pronounced as the O in Ozon or Bo Larsen.

They do the same to Tom Boenen.

Paul just made it sound like Tom Boonen almost had victory at Flanders and Roubaix this year, ha ha ha.

Phill saying how unjust it would be for Mick Rogers to have come around Dave Z for the 1st place yesterday, wtf?? Just because Dave Z did so much work in the final 5km.... but this is a race, and they are racing for bonus seconds, wth.

here's a shot of the early break on the steepest part of sierra road. about a half-hour into the race the 5-man break was about five minutes ahead of the bunch.

LOL watching the live web stream right now and Paul just said:

"The big climb they'll be doing up to Big Bear Lake on Friday is easily comparable to the climb of the great Alpe d'Huez in France."

Ha ha ha hah ha hah ha ha!!!

Steven Cozza's moustache seen at the front of the peloton.

Everyone take a shot.

So, this is another stage that would be way better if run in reverse.

Well if they're broadcasting from Modesto they are probably on Meth as Molesto is like the Meth capital of the World or something according to a Frontline show I saw once.

Don't know what you're talking about Moose, Phil just said "these boys are racing very very quickly right now" despite the fact the peloton is taking up the whole road and not strung out at all LOL. These two are going senile.

At least we're getting a nice California history lesson. Now we know where all the city and county names come from. Patterson is the Apricot capital of the world. Awesome.

Haussler crashed. Wanna bet Liquigas waits for him?

Yeah he might have spilled his glass of Sherry.

Back to talking about olive and cheeses.

 

[BikeCentric]

Sprinters here - Cav, Hunter, Sagan, Haussler. That it?

Sagan's not a sprinter. He has a good finish, but not good enough to take a field sprint from a normal-sized peloton.

You mean here, as in, 'in Cali'? Bos. One of the Haedo's I think. Boonen, if that counts.
