Valverde is very smooth, no upper body movement. He’s a big dude, too.
Meanwhile, Boonen is rocking and rolling all over the place, but moving along quite nicely.
valverde a big dude????

Valverde
wearing #51, meaning he’ll either win the race or be possessed by aliens.

I just realized where I'd heard Valverde's name before...
“Commando”… it’s the name of the country the dictator is trying to reclaim
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
Remember when I told you I'd kill you last Sully?
I lied.
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Did you know that Bennett in that movie...
… is Wez from The Road Warrior…
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
Duh - yes. Did you know he was also the head hooligan in
Weird Science?
His best role was the Road Warrior. By far.
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Come on Bennett...
… lets paahhhhhhty…
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
Valverde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
How DO you sleep at night...
… on top of a pile of money… with many beautiful ladies.
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
I can't say enough about Rainier Wolfcastle
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
To this day, among my brothers and I...
Rather than “Wake up” or “Get out of bed asshole”, typically the command is “Up And At Them”
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
Up and at Zem!
Van P and I have been flogging this into the ground for years too. Never gets old does it? :-)

Valv -- good first week
Results-wise, he’ll need a little buffer before the climbing starts. Hope he didn’t overheat his form in week one, again…

At this point, it looks like Valverde is riding into the gold jersey. He’s nine seconds ahead of both Boonen and Chavanel in the virtual GC, with Leipheimer next in line.
look what the cat dragged in

Some people from the Basque country are not of Basque heritage though.
There are a few names in the Euskie squad which are Spanish, like Velasco for example (as in Ivan)-Basque doesn’t use the letter V.
Valverde looking like he's struggling now...
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
That is a great ride by VV
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
that's the prob
he does better scruffy

Do you like movies about Gladiators?

Excuse me Stewardess - I speak jive.

You just hang loose blood...
… bitch be on the reback on the medi-side.
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
One of the greatest scenes of all time
I don’t imagine Barbara Billingsley ever thought she’d have a role like that when she was busy on the set of Leave it to Beaver.
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
yeah, but what was the start gap btwn levi and av today?

You go through all that effort... the skin suit... the dumbass looking helmet...
… and the you don’t shave???
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
remember, rough wool turns out to also be pretty good for reducing drag
turns out that some discontinuities can reduce, not cause, turbulence…or something like that…
so
the others are toast. Who’s in gold?

Cause he won't finish the Vuelta and needs some hard training before Worlds
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Jesus Christ - that's a great ride by Boonen!
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Power course, ne?

Tommeke!!!
Respekt!
Complain all you want about the teenie boppers and the Columbian Marching Powder, the man just threw down on a grand tour ITT. Good for him!
Yup
He’s kind of the Lawrence Taylor of cycling. Nothing bad seems to affect him much. He could probably show up at Flanders drunk and finish top 15.

Totally down with Levi winning and wearing Gold. Good on him.
