just woke up. how is Thor looking today?
In some sort of magical twist, I’m currently ranked 197 (out of ~28k, I think) on the Vs. fantasy team thing. I need THOR. I used the same “good hair, fun to say” strategy there that I did for Megabeth’s thread.

It goes to 11!

Aye
but I want to see them outfox him, I don’t want anything bad to happen to him.

Forgive me
but I either forgot or didn’t notice that Bennati was riding le tour this year.

I shall live in dream land and say please Boonen, Freire or Rojas
Pretty please? I consulted the white unicorn but even that didn’t go so well

Bored and discovered this....going back to the tattoos,
what do we think to Nocentini?
Adrenalina Italiana!
He's ok but doesn't do it for me. The tat is ok i guess, whatever
I like that he found time to have an espresso and read the paper on rest day though
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
half a man bra.
little strange. he seems so sweet, based on nothing whatsoever.
Little Sammy is such a battler, chasing onto Ignatiev's wheel
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Its like a magnet, the closer you get
the faster the peloton comes
he's a monster
Can’t hate on that. And good guys right on his heels.
he's this guy who made a huge fuss about not being welcomed
at the tour because he likes to party!

No, Thor gets too many pts for 2nd.

Cav made up 5 points on Thor
so, IIRC, that means he’ll be 6 pts down now.
he seems bored with just crossing the line and looking happy
next stage win: interpretive dance.
+100
He’s a legend!! If you can’t be a bit cocky at that age with that talent, then when can you?
I love the bit of youthful self-confidence and brashness he has. Bet when he’s Zabel age, he’ll be the wordly-wise Grandfather figure dispensing sprinting words of wisdom too.
by grim grimpeur on Jul 14, 2009 11:35 AM EDT up reply actions
He can be a bit cocky
but I like how much credit he always gives his teammates. In that regard, he always comes across as humble and appreciative.
fair is fair
that was a long sprint, and neither thor nor farrar could get round him…can’t hate on someone that good?
oh, but you can!
I can’t stand Contador, for example.
Yay Cav!

Thor keeps it today, i second your motion
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Yeah, more Thor interviews = good thing
Man has a Voice on him ;-). I could listen to him talk all day
Taking that radio away gave us a totally different result eh
Sorry ASO i think the riders and this result are a big 2 fingers up to your experiment
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Well it just shows radio's don't make that big of a difference
if anything this shut the riders and DS’s up a bit.
Vamos Alberto!!!(Contador not Ricco)
if the riders were organized and smart
which i think they were, the best way to get the radios back would be to ride a really slow stage. in the last km’s, race, where radios aren’t needed. everyone then believes radios don’t make a difference and then they’re back. voila. more effective than a formal protest.
Incroyable! Incroyable! Incroyable!
Cav says he would like to win
4 more stages … including Champs Ellysee
sometimes life is a false flat
The black unicorn promised me this would not happen
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
The Black Unicorn lies.
Dark side allies can be fun to party with, but they’re hard to trust.

can't blame him if he did

there was a crash too in the final k,
that split the peloton?

They need to start building cyclists
without collarbones so these poor guys don’t have to go through this every season.
by Spot of Bother on Jul 14, 2009 11:34 AM EDT up reply actions
Thought so, the moment he stood up.
Been spending too much time with Stuey, clearly
Would you have expected him
to have finished the stage today? It happened pretty early. Nails, mate. Nails.
But yeah, sense will prevail ;-). I hope…
Actually, yeah. A lot of riders tend to finish heroically
but then not start the next day. If he has broken his collar bone he’s not going to be back, poor thing.
Good to Farrar
for making his own space, though. Not getting bulldozed.
(Well, except. But you know what I mean.)
I thought that was Dean trying to make space on that last little corner.
Farrar was still back behind Thor’s wheel.
These sprints are NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Cav won by two bike lengths. These sprints are just not even close anymore. It is official Bennati, Boonen and Freire just dont have the speed to keep up with these guys. I used to like sprints but these are officially boring. I don’t mind Cav but when there is no contest at all, there is no excitement involved.
+1
multiple potential outcomes are needed to keep fans gripped with anticipation. the same rider winning by a few bike lengths every flat stage becomes, well, blah.
Incroyable! Incroyable! Incroyable!
thor and farrar seem to have decided to bust up cav's lead out train
doesn’t work, but at least they’re trying something.

The team is the key though
look at the speed on Hinc and Renshaw. Opponents can’t even try to launch before Cav and when he goes it’s goodnight.
someone wil have to explain that one
That doesn’t make any sense why you lose that much time on a flat stage
How did they lose time on that stage?? Doh!
Was Wiggins doing crazy voice impressions to put Levi off or something?

Benna got lost when the Katusha rider crashed
