Dauphine Libere Stage 2... LIVE!
Another 184km appetizer, this one with two cat-4 rated climbs in the last 50km. However, til then it's relatively flat, and as we saw today a few small climbs aren't going to shed all the fast men. An uphill finish might, but today it's a downhill run in to the line. Great day for escapes, or sprinters. Enjoy!

I know it's early...
But the comment of the day so far has to go to the “le dauphine” ticker writer:
David De La Fuente (Saunier Duval) enjoys riding in France. He’s a summertime’s man judging from his results in the past, for example in the Tour de France where he battled for the polka dot jersey. The 27 years old Spanish rider turned professionnal in 2003. Like Oscar Freire, he comes from Cantabria (Spain). Unlike the former World Champion, he doesn’t raise his arms often: only 1 professionnal success.

Looks like another sprint stage
How big are those hills at the end?

they look much bigger here
So maybe this isn’t a sprint stage after all…?

They are only saml
at 335m and 50m with good run between them and a further downhill. So the sprinter teams should cope

Good Morning all.
I’m in but 1200 sputtered so I dropped to 800 for better listening.

I'm now down to 400.
Have work to get done so I’m listening and it needs to stream clearly or it gets too hard.
What was the shoes?

Okay, who are they pushing out of the way.
I don’t know that I’ve seen guys push them out the back like that before.

By the way
Wasn’t yesterday’s roll-in to the finish by High Road a bit of a cluster-f….? Except for the Hincapie “I’ll try a miss-timed attacked because I didn’t look at the stage profile” attack, they put exactly no one in the top 150…..

My neighbor works with a women who bought her husband a
$3900 wheel set. He just about died. I just laughed and said – good woman. :-)
It was a milestone bday gift or something but if that’s what he wanted, good for her for doing it.

Brian- A+ today
IMO its very big of Brian to talk about his drinking after racing in light of Boonen.
by ursula on Jun 10, 2008 9:58 AM EDT 0 recs
He was very open about it.
And he has some points with the Boonen thing.
