Yay Mosquera!
for coming in 2nd today—that’s the highest anybody on my VDS Vuelta team has placed so far.
What was all the stuff about Contador
crashing and dying? What’s RASCO?
RacsoTV
was one of the Justin.tv links where you can watch the Vuelta live (well, more or less—today the weather on course was so bad that there was virtually no possibility of live pictures until the end). Somehow the rumor got going that Contador crashed and even died, to the point where the people participating in the live chat gave the poor lad a moment of silence.
But he wasn’t very dead—or even mostly dead—since he wheeled over the line in third. I don’t think a crash was ever confirmed, either.
love it, love it, love it....

Other than being dead, Contador showed some Pais Vasco-like behavior today by attacking the peloton right at the end. Notice that among the riders attacked was his teammate Levi. I think we’ll see more such behavior tomorrow- of we se anything at all of course.
lol, true true
but tomorrows stage is easier than today’s??
Can’t say what happened today since I didn’t see anything….
do you think levi cared?

Yeah Levi was pissed...
…threw down his bike at the end of the stage, went right up to Contador and punched him in the face, then Contador died.

RIP Alberto
Paging Dr Fuente! Paging Dr Fuentes!

If they bring him back from the dead ...
… they could call him the seis millones de Pesetas hombre. Though I suppose that needs to be updated to Euro. But somehow the thirty-six thousand Euro man just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Then he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
But Lazarus banged his head in the crash and mis-heard and came third.

Being dead has its bonuses!
If you take the spirit option: with no body there’s no weight to slow you down. The cold and rain and hills don’t bother you either. No crashes either- you just go through the ground or other riders.
Or if you choose zombie form your stench will make your competitors retch whenever you are near. Also if you get hungry you can just eat your rivals’ brains. And you won’t feel pain in this option either.
With either option you’ll never fail a blood test since you don’t have any. No possible blood doping charges.
Win-win!
The UCI would disapprove of these advantages, and before you know it, we'd have another scandal...
