Chavanel's fantastic season continues!
I’d love to see him do something special at the Tour. The Bastille Day stage to Hautacam is probably too much to hope for, but a stage win on one of the classics-type stages would be cool, too.

he's a good pick for that, i think
the ardennes, i mean, not the hautacam thingy. he’s riding awesome!
Czech Republic: Frantisek Rabon (Team Colombia)

We need a complete run down
of them all after this weekend with a note of when others change. :-)

yup. I have Tanel Kangert...
as well as Cance and Chav. But a system where all three counted equally would hardly work…
too bad USA champs aren't now
We’d be assured of not having Z as the champ . . . . again. For Americans, he is the equilivant of Fabian Cancellara for time trialing.
He only beat Pate by like a second. Last year was close!

Team Columbia's got four already. Nice!

There's a novelty
All of a sudden Colombians can Time Trial? ;-)
You can't lose against Italy, we can only fail to win - Johan Cruijff
Yea for Colombians on the ACE program! As opposed to, say, the -02 World TT Champ....

Sastre 12th at 1:46 down over 27.7 km
I read somewhere that Sastre decided last-minute to ride the national TT to judge his form because he’d been doing a lot of TT training – so, to me, losing nearly 2 min over 27.7 km doesn’t seem too great … but then again, maybe for him that’s a big improvement? can’t remember offhand how much time he tends to lose in TTs…
Well......not that much
Being a Sastre-fan I seriously don’t know whether to worry about his form or rest comfortably knowing he will peak when it matters most.
I like to think he’s timing it right but surely he would have been looking for a better result that that today?
he don't finish!!!
