Yeah that guy seems to have the knack of never quite getting it right.

He was in a no win situation. Too many people with too many opposing
goals, and too many people that didn't mind pulling people up to catch
someone that they wanted to catch.
Seems a pretty damned level playing field at this point. When someone
finally does explode, it's going to be gruesome. Can't wait!

Pretty level playing field among the true leaders, except some so-
called contenders have skewed perspectives of their chances. Case in
point: VdV setting tempo for TD, pretending they're putting pressure
on the others. It was working pretty well, too, until the first real
surge came and they promptly went OTB. VS showed JV in the team car
during the delusional phase, but not after the implosion. Would've
loved to have seen his face then.

The Schleck brothers are basically another species of bird with bird
beak noses. Any Schleck is a fucking toucan and if I ever happened to
see that bird beak ascending a hill I would just dump a box of Fruit
Loops on his fucking head and then knock him off his bike.

You need to tweak your Self-Censoring algorithm. And your Humor
Detection circuitry. Both are on the fritz (with apologies to Fritz).
It's fucking JULY, man! Bring your A game or go home.

F/U: Can you believe it... during a post-race interview TD said he
was feeling good all day, felt really strong at the moment and then
all of a sudden cramped due to dehydration and just couldn't put out
any power. Later he thanked his team for keeping him supplied with
bottles whenever he needed them... hmm... Note to TD: you were
feeling good 'cause the pace wasn't that fast. You 'cramped' it up
when the contenders ramped it up.

All I can do is follow wheels in this thread and wait until the rest day so
I can re-infuse 1100 mL's of pure red thunder and then come back and pound
you people into the pavement.

Alberto? Is that you?

What if this turns into a really weird negative battle where all the
top contenders spend all of the mountains watching each other, and
continually finishing together? What if this, a Tour designed as a
tribute to the mountains, is decided by the ITT?
Also, how come they didn't start this race with a hillclimb prologue?

What if the weather is bad on Col Agnel or Galibier and the stage is
altered/shortened/cancelled?
Today on Galibier: 200 cyclists rescued after drop in temperature and

Might not make a difference. In 1996, the decisive Sestriere stage was
shortened to 35km and Riis won by 2 minutes.

Wow, that even beats Virenque who, after getting a really poor placing
in the ITT, said: "I don't know, I felt like I was going really fast."
It was a tailwind.

You've gotta long for the days when Chiapucci went for 5 cols solo.
IMO, the current style of racing is extremely dull. The UCI needs to
get on the stick like the FIA did with F1 and figure out how to get
some action going. Maybe everyone should get a good Spanish steak
every night.

Or turn off the radios.

Only team that knows how to ride at the front is HTC

Layopard Drek need to go back to school.

But then we could have a repeat of Hampsten's glorious win over the Gavia.

How will Magilla be able to do anything? Shleck's sister could
probably take him on. His arms are like noodles after the 46
masturbationthon.
