Well, Roll had a few words for Beltran
sadly, that’s all I’m going to get for this AM. Off for a much needed ride. See everyone later.
Bonjour, mes amis.
Coffee and doping talk to start the day…Bobke saying “how stupid do you have to be” to jeopardize cycling at this point in time, here at the most prestigeous event…
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. - George Carlin
maybe he still had the clogs with hollow heels for EPO
and just felt like it was a waste not to use them
Commercial for the Tour: "next time you are riding along in your car at 50mph,
strip down to your underwear and jump out of the car: that’s what it’s like to crash in a cycling race.” Yikes, would that appeal to the rodeo and cage fight fans? Oh, yeah, I guess it would… :-)
Phil saying he heard that Beltran tried to escape the gendarmes as they took him away, cannot say if it’s just rumor or truth.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. - George Carlin
They're saying a lot of the things in the pre-race show that we've said here...
the level of conceit, etc.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. - George Carlin
Roll summed it up pretty nicely I think...
The conceit required and also the total disregard for his teammates, the fans and his sponsor is almost incomprehensible at this juncture in our fight against doping in cycling; it’s nearly ruined the sport in the past it’s taken away sponsors, it’s taken away media attention, and, most importantly, it’s ruined the event for a lot of fans around the world. How stupid do you have to be to do this anymore?Well the credibility of the sport is on the line and this Tour de France had to go off smoothly. And every rider… the scrutiny is incredible… to think that you can avoid that is foolish, simple minded and downright idiotic! Beltran, unbelievable

Strange side note...
... I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard Bob Roll correctly pronounce the Tour de France correctly. He must be pissed.

Bweeg! LeFevre in a solo break?
It’s hard to see on the web; they haven’t started our race coverage here in the US yet.

... anyone else wish Bettini was in the Tour this year?
After a hard day of watching a Tour stage, I like to unwind with Verbotene Liebe
Yup. Nothing like Bettini in a GT. Adds to the flavor.

i almost got a dvr
until my dad (it was going to be a birthday gift) realized that in order to tape things that were long than two hours, he would have to spend more money. so i just have a crappy vcr.

Because of Beltran...

New VS commercials
now their “take back the tour” promo is all about riders falling and how much it hurts.
LOL. Easing into the day...rainy, crappy weather, 4 riders 5:04 gap, 88k to go. Lots of punctures.

Morning
Marc Madiot was interviewed on France2 earlier today. Lilian Jegou is in hospital with a rather nasty fracture to the wrist, complete with at least one dislocation. He also has (and I’m not totally precise here) some sort of injury, perhaps a chip, to one of the vertebrae in his neck. It sounded nasty but no-one was talking of him having a broken neck.
He really lost the fight with that tree...

i always thought the doping tests were random
so there’s no rule about picking specific people?
181 & 165
Sounds like they are actually targeting riders that tested abnormally before the Tour this year.
But I have not heard any facts about the process. I’m sure they’re also testing the top 3-5 riders, stage winners, jersey wearers?
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. - George Carlin
In this article, the head of the French anti-doping agency says they are targeting some riders during the Tour and that Beltran was targeted because of his blood values in the pre-race tests.
Perhaps Beltran was randomly selected...
... from the pool of one rider they directly suspected :)

moreau took out his earpiece and then abandoned and the team didn’t even know what or why … eurosport had a guest in CA’s car.

... bizarre…

mechanical knocked me out of today's stage
Was heading to the dirt today, but the car decided to throw a light and run rougher than a rusty Trek hybrid. So into the shop it went, and here I am. Today’s victory line has been reset at it being something less than a few grand to fix it.
Is that what happened to Moreau?
:)

as credible as anything else we've heard thus far
I’m so annoyed right now. My last car, I could diagnose anything from just listening to it (and then fix it). This one remains a mystery inside of electronics enshrouded by plastic. So I just have to hand my keys and bank card over and hope for the best.
One of the better aspects of motorcycles...
they are, for the most part, still dead nuts simple mechanical machines. I don’t have a garage so i can’t fix most of the stuff myself anymore, but I can point the shop directly at whats wrong.
After a hard day of watching a Tour stage, I like to unwind with Verbotene Liebe
True!
Of course I’m no mechanic, but my BMW airhead is straightforward enough for me to understand w/ the right help.
Brooklyn Chewing Gum: Vlaanderens Mooiste
yeah, there's a Yamaha Seca outside
my back door that a friend gave me (moved overseas) and I’m looking forward to getting reacquainted with the wrench (feel free to remind me of that after I’ve ended up stripping a plug or something).
That's definately a bike for

Bad time for a crash
Sprinter’s teams starting to work up front.

Indeed
I’ve grown to prefer their commentating over that of PHil and Paul
Brooklyn Chewing Gum: Vlaanderens Mooiste
Ricco just linked up
So, Is he a legit contender now? I’ve always thought he was.
He's going to have to make up 6 minutes in the mountains over the strong TT guys to place well,
which they are not going to let him do. At least IMHO. But he’s well on his way to a Top 10-20 placing, and a mountain stage win is right up his alley. Again, IMHO.

Slippies site
I just noticed on the slipstream/garmin site that they have a couple of counters on the right hand side. A “Clif” counter counting bars, gels, and blocks consumed by the boys. It’s kind of a cool little tidbit. They also have a “CycleOps” Kilojoule counter that their riders are generating.
followed by Paul bagging on US Currency...
