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.

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!!!

Will the excitement that is the Amgen Tour of California ever cease?

Wait, there's a palm tree! And a bird, look, a predatory bird!

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.

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.
