Looks like grouppo compacto at this point. Will someone get away or is this another day to watch for a Cavalanche?

I was getting twitchy, too
I am sure that it was just to play a joke on this over-tired Aussie… and yes, it worked – I did briefly have to think about whether or not we’d already had the rest day, LOL
I just noticed Chris hadn't scheduled one too but Egoat was ahead of me :-)
As we know by now this means that a Columbia-win is unlikely today so that’s good news for all you bah…ers out there.

Practice really hard on an introductory sentence
where you explain that you don’t speak French. “Bonjour monsieur/madame. Je suis désolé mais je parle pas français. Parlez-vous anglais, s’il vous plaît?” Then switch to Pidgin English. Every campsite
We're heading into Tommy Voeckler's homeland today...
Can he disrupt a bunch sprint or get into a breakaway?

Sadly not, but where he's based nowadays

I've come to a startling decision...
despite the arrogance, an auto-biography (please son, really now), and essential fair weather fan-erry…I maybe forced to remove the Bah from Cavendish…

The kids got class.
He won me over when he sat up to let his leadout man win last year. Always gives props to his team and is a strong anti doper. I like him better than any of the other mega sprinters (’cept Oscarito).
"…I saw bloody Cavendish coming, really fast…"
HH
I tend to agree...
…he needs to lose the sense of being entitled to have things go his way a bit.
Always seems to me like he's kicking himself
which is something we’re all entitled to do, even if it’s not productive.
No!
“Bah” has become commponplace in my vocab and has quickly replaced “pshaw” as go to word of disgust in the PopUp Rolen Household. It must stay!
yeah, your right BAH really is the word...isn't it

It's a beauty of a word
At first, the wife hated me walking around the house saying “bah” to everything. Then just last night, she unleashed a “bah traffic” as we went to the airport to pick up a friend. I nearly teared up.
Never fear the Bah is here...

Misleading though
because isn’t that the time between the first rider in the first group & the first rider in the so-called second group (all riders in a group being given the same time)? Obviously what you need for riders to be given different times is a gap of a second between groups, & it really didn’t look like there was one. Glad it’s been corrected if true, because looking at the footage it seemed a very odd decision.
Really?
Official site still has the gap as existing… :S
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Ah ok.
The official site should learn consistency, if you change it on your ticker, change it on your standings!
Time to edit that onto my blog then.

For what it's worth, here's what it says on the live ticker:
12:49 – Modification of the classification of stage 10
The president of the jury commissioners announced at the moment after a thorough study of classification of images and real differences found, it was decided to classify all the riders up the 158th place in the time of the winner. The correction concerns the riders who have been registered in a first time with a delay of 15’’, including Wiggins and Leipheimer.

…what sort of a draft is he gonna give Summi?
Vansummeren is just racing in an attempt to close the gap
people insist on putting between “Van” and “summeren.”
Among his many talents, Mark Cavendish can make it rain in Southern California--Chris Jones, ESPN Magazine
Isn't the Van indicating like a family origin or something?
So if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be spaced? Where are the Dutch members when you need them?
If I just had one more gear, I...
For one thing, he's not Dutch.
But the best rule to follow is to spell a name the way the bearer spells it—and in this case, that would be without a space.
Among his many talents, Mark Cavendish can make it rain in Southern California--Chris Jones, ESPN Magazine
Good question.
*Lotto does have another Belgian with a joined-up van name: Jelle Vanendert, while all of Rabo’s Dutch vans seem to be spaced. But the sample size is far too small to be conclusive.
Among his many talents, Mark Cavendish can make it rain in Southern California--Chris Jones, ESPN Magazine
That is how it's usually done, yes
People, I thought I explained this! Commonly:
- Dutch: Jan-Anton van der Flecha, cap 1st letter w/o first name: Van der Flecha, sort by: “Flecha, van der”
- Flemish: often joined: Vandenbroucke, if split then all caps: Eddy Van Der Merckx, sort by: “Van Der Merckx”
We're slow. Thank you.
Among his many talents, Mark Cavendish can make it rain in Southern California--Chris Jones, ESPN Magazine
Thanks for clearing that up
I don’t think that the people putting the stuff on tv are going to take their time to differentiate between the different spelling unless they are Dutch or Flemish, that’s probably why Van Summeren is showing up instead of Vansummeren.
If I just had one more gear, I...
Or Belgian, my bad
I know there are differences between Dutch and Flemish but fundamentally, they are the same. Just wondering.

my girlfriend's sister and her husband
travel by camping car every summer – they never stay in a campground. Don’t believe in it, don’t like it. They just park along the road here or there – apparently never have a problem. For showers they just walk over to a campsite or park outside one – apparently the campsites let them just pay for a shower. So if you don’t find a campsite, don’t worry.
Finding some irony that I just watched Contador and Martin pace up from the cars alone..
And Armstrong is being paced up by 2 guys. Priorities there eh.

I really like Cav, cocky comments and all. That said I’m hoping Farrar beats him to the line just once this Tour. He deserves a win, as does Garmin.
It is a nice idea so i'll bite.
Although i really don’t hate or dislike that many riders…
Cadel…is attacking more lately which is good to see.

Hmm perhaps, but, I seem to be in a minority of people who mostly enjoyed the first week..
Always expected this one to be more boring, but normally i find the first one is boring and 2nd/3rd is good.
I don’t think there’ll ever be a perfect route, just glad I don’t have to plan them ;)

I enjoyed the first week...
echelons & everything… but the Tourmalet stage seemed like a huge waste.
I agree, why waste Tourmalet like that..
But i still think the Alps will be exciting so i’ll hold back on major criticism until the end.

Agreed. That race rocked!
I can’t even begin to tell you how pissed I was I missed Luis Leon’s attack and stage win :( I had to go to crappy work. So glad i quit before the Giro

oooh
Bert bonking is such a sight….I mean, I hate it, but you don’t see things like that very often….
I had to leave the house just as the favourites began attacking him...
So basically i missed that and LL’s win, i was sooo pissed!
Actually LL putting on yellow from that stage is still the wallpaper on my mobile phone, but i’ll be changing it to his stage 8 victory soon, heh

I enjoyed the sunflowers yesterday, they were a novelty.
Today they’re just so yesterday.
