"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
isn't it quitting time yet?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
not a holiday for me....
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
gap still 4.15
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Maybe we should have some predictions
Who’s gonna win?
Will the break stay away?
will Mancebo lose his lead?
I say Baredo, yes, no- but it will be close
YES! Only rider in the lead group that trains on these roads.
Lyne updated that Andy, Ben’s brother is off to hospital I sure hope he is okay. Andy recovered from a horrific crash a couple of years ago.
you sure now?

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I pick Cozza for the win
The break will stay awy
Mancabo will hold his lead

Only if Mancabo starts going backwards

Astana willl go to the front
when the road turns uphill.
but they wont catch BJM

I'll take break stays away
Astana wants Rock to fry themselves, no point in helping out.
BJM to win – Gav picks with the heart
and the world survived
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
agree Gav.
Astana is not not worried about the break, let RR do the work.
I pic Barredo for the win though.
What is the deal with the video of the side of the road?

Levi is not the best descender,
but the Spaniards are probably even worse… Especially in this weather
or contador... or valverde....
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Valverde lost the Vuelta podium spot because of the downhill...
mistake, sure, but except Sammy, the light Spaniards are not the best Sammy is different, a rare breed on the descends…
he goes downhill OK
I have held his wheel

He's good but just more cautious
Just spinning the pedals in the hills of Western Maryland
Tour Tracker has a split between DZ group and Mancabo group
Just spinning the pedals in the hills of Western Maryland
is Barredo going to be Levi's Gesink?

Don't want to be a party pooper, maybe a little cynical
But an American race with an American guy in front with an American commentator..
Is Hallejulah America.. We can’t even see him…

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Who's driving the chase group?
Stuck at work with no video, relying on PDC. The only intelligent race commentary on the web?
think rabo?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I don't think Mancablo is in the chase group
Just spinning the pedals in the hills of Western Maryland

pip..
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Yeah he was in that break all day.
Not like he just sucked wheel the entire time.
Sure they can
And the commissars are in a big conspiracy to hand him the race, remember? Today totally proved that conspiracy theory…
Where the #@&$ is my Time?
sitting next to you?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
pretty good evidence of a lack of sauce in the receipe
Just spinning the pedals in the hills of Western Maryland
First win of the year for Garmin(individual)!
and Levi never asked him to work so he should deal with it, Peterson deserved to win seeing that he was in the day long break and yet still mustered enough to stick with Levi.
