hey jimbo, how did you get that mini-asian girl over to Gheslin ?
he has her stuck up the back of his FdesJeux jersey today !
Are you sure it's not the orange finger?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Comment of the week (for my money anyways).
Speed on the descent can easily be lost when you slam into a tree.
Gheslin has been carrying a water bottle stuck under his jersy back
for at least 30 minutes now, it is quite funny every time you see it,
he is #68, FdesJeux
according to CN
Break is…
Sylvain Chavanel,
Tom Boonen
Maarten Wynants (Quick Step)
Bernhard Eisel (Team Columbia-High Road)
Karsten Kroon (Team Saxo Bank)
Heinrich Haussler (Cervelo Test Team)
Mathieu Ladagnous (Française des Jeux)
Nick Nuyens

You mean the fear of Jimbo's foam finger
Speed on the descent can easily be lost when you slam into a tree.
I will touch someone in the break
with my orange appendage, and they shall be blessed

noodley...

All I have is the Wallonian feed
which could be in Swedish for all the good that does me, and the resolution is not up to actually being able to discern who is who
The Dude will have a White Russian...
They occasionally identify riders on screen.
Speed on the descent can easily be lost when you slam into a tree.
all I see is
something about an emission and some lady named sous titree
The Dude will have a White Russian...
Didn't I see a Garmin in one of these groups up front?
I’m all for Krooooooooon to stick to the end. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
would like to see eisel go well
hasnt he done well here before?
Chav and Boonen
Looking like they’re out for a club ride. They guys in the group should be very afraid
Isn't this the race
where the winner gets a giant technicolour porcelain donkey?
where's bruseghin?

Someone remind me what the finish is like for KBK
Flat? Uphill?
The Dude will have a White Russian...
THey are just about to go through it now

(twice across finish line ? )
2 laps to go

The lead break is scrambling
to keep ahead of the sizzling sausage-maker that is the peloton. Hopefully they won’t crack, but if they do, they’re toast
The Dude will have a White Russian...
me I actually had GREEN egggs the other day !
yup the shells were green , not dyed green, from some free range chicken thing
Boonen must win so I can get some VDS points!
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
someone needs to try before they take boonen to the line
maybe fdjor haussler on next lap
who is in the QS car?
"I won! I won! I don't have to go to school anymore." -- Eddy Merckx, after winning his first bike race
If there's no rail road crossings The chasers should just stop.
And run into a pub, get something to eat and drink and watch the finish.

nevremind my earlier comment re speedbumps and keeping hands on bars
Matthieu Ladagnous – FdesJeux just went over that bump one-handed, almost no hands.
and with no problems, amazing bike-handling skills
yes, please
Chav on the podium will do nicely today
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
Didn't anyone invite *Lotto to this race?
Speed on the descent can easily be lost when you slam into a tree.
lets see Lotto...ah yes that quaint little upstart from...hmmmmm belgium i think
you would think after yesterday they would be at the front
They gave Van Av and Gilbert the day off.
Don’t know why Hoste and Roelandts, at least, aren’t up there.
Google is my domestique.
Vander Flecha will go early
to set up Nick
