PrintToday's theme...
Honestly, I don't know why this isn't the official theme music for the race. Or the state anthem, for that matter. Anyway, I'll be in transit during today's stage, but the pack is in mid-season breakaway dream-stomping form, so look for Tom Boonen to once again win today's inevitable sprint. See y'all in the sunshine!

Hamilton's Jersey
Got a good look at Tyler yesterday as he topped the KOM on Crane Valley Rd. by Oakhurst. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t he our US road champion? So is his kit the official US champion jersey? I think the Rock kits looks like someone threw up on them! I mean geez, the US champion kit and it has DEAD across the crotch and big red Anarchy A’s across it! Anyone else have trouble with that jersey representing the USA?
It has been thoroughly discussed in previous live race threads and the consensus is
its embarrassing to USA Cycling. So agreed.

Ahh... but if you look closely the "Anarchy" symbol...
… constitutes the “A” in US Ch"A"mp… so… you know… it has that going for it.

You mean..
In stead of cup A you have penis A?
Some say the best things in life, are one the inside.
Patriotic rant, part deaux
I mean, the UCI is fining Lance every day he wears his Livestrong vest, but Ty is representing our country? What happened to the old Stars and stripes? I’m even ok with Levi’s Captain America kit from last year, but my gosh, Rock should be fined just for bad taste! And have you seen the price they want for those kits?!
ATTENTIONS ATTENTION PLEASE
Mick Rogers wants to know – white or black shorts today?
We are discussing in the team bus what team shorts we are riding today! Black and yellow or white? What’s the twitter army think?
and it is surprising how many are answering white. See the responses here:

yes. And with the weight that @podiumcafe pulls with the peloton black should win out.
I can imagine the Columbia guys sitting around laughing in the bus about the responses.

Mick:
“Looks like the twitter army if leaning more towards black and yellow shorts!!”
Wohoo!

Next step
Tweeters should decide whether or not Robbie McEwan will attack up L’Alpe d’Huez.
Bork, bork, bork!
Ahh... that brings to mind commentary about "Pro Cycling Manager 2008" from last year...
i haven’t actually tried it, but my husband has apparently killed Robbie McEwen several times trying to get him to attack on Alpe d’Huez ;-) . I’ll ask him for any other more helpful comments that I can post later …

Just shot up to my favorite rider not born in Flanders. I forgive him for ever wearing that dreaded pink t-mob kit.
If anyone is curious...
… it’s GORGEOUS here today :) !!!! Blue sky… sun shining… a pair of doves on the ledge just outside my apartment…
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
You lie!
Doves would never hang around your house. Hawks perhaps, but not doves.

If there are any Hawks hanging around this place...
… it’s Stringfellow Hawke.

Kim Kirchen Update?
Anybody hear what’s up with him? I had my VDS team all tweaked and stuff, now I gotta recontemplate his 18 pts.

Did I win the Snuggie? Did I? Did I? Can I get it in blue ? I always pictured my snuggie to be blue, or maybe green, no no blue , definately blue.
C'mon Bruce, your English is better than that
