Aww, gotta go! Mountainbiking down from Cham to Lake Passy for a swim beckons
Go Garmin TTT :-) (or some amusing explanation for outfits)
Go Cav! Go Thor! – both stars in my mind
Will Cancellara take off in last 2km to solo to victory to make up for ITT? Would like to see that
PROPS to Brad Wiggins for his performance – best BRIT result ever equalled.
PROPS to Lance for his performance – 37yrs old – whatever, he’s a Stud!
Massive PROPS to Schlecket & AC – hope they keep duelling for years.
Great TDF as ever & all too worthy winner! Who will ever beat him?
Enjoy the final stage
Oooh, so exciting – will have to catch up later
AT LAST!!!
I’m now happy :)

Just a group I manage.. Although many of the riders have joined..

And thanks for doing so

LIvens up a non-racing stage.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Oooh la la, I am ze best placed Frenchman!
I celebrate this with snazzy new Oakleys!
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Yew-glee they are
But I’ve developed an anti-Oakley bias after watching them trickle down into TX high school jock cool.
It’s a 3-year process: 3 years ago Gas Cans were THE cool shades in the P12 bunch. Sure enough, what are the “cool” high school kids wearing NOW: Gas Cans.
Thinking about Ventoux again – does anyone think that Martin, Nibali, Kreuziger et al will push Schlecklet & Contador in the future – or is this a two horse race? I’m reminded of 1998 when it seemed that Ulle and Pantani would duke it out for a decade and neither won another GT.
Geez, you're getting analytical
Everyone else is talking champagne and jawlines.
I reckon there’s a fair bit of talent coming through. This was the first time Contador won a GT in a really convincing fashion, so he’s still coming on. Give it two more years and see where the young ’uns are then.
Indeed, it's a hard question
And part of it involves allowing for which riders will rule themselves out of being a challenger.
There are multiple causes: crashes/injuries ala Beloki and Mick Rogers, lack of recovery ala Cunego, lack of racing ability ala Danielson, lack of desire/will ala Ullrich.
The trick involves trying to figure out what will happen to which rider.
And to dredge up a meme from the last thread: this ability to avoid pitfalls whether physiological or psychological IS a major factor in Armstrong’s racing success.
Brice gives great interviews

I like Fabian
but if he encourages either of the Schlecks to take their shirts off or unzip their jersey, I may have to change my opinion.
I think he would be due for a spanking if that happened.

Fabian foils the sprinters for the best win ever on the Champs…
I haven’t seen him do it this year, so its bound to happen right?? right??

GH interview on Versus says
he will continue racing for a year or 2. May transfer? Gives props to LA.
Contador poses with Hutarovich for H's photo album, how cute.

I love the unofficial red flag...
…since its not an official competition any more. Brilliant.
You see how calm Vaughters is? That’s because he’s really one giant seething ball of Evil inside. With like, extra Evil.
cobbles for Cav...
it might bounce him around a little more than the other sprinters since hes a tad lighter. However, even if it does, it means he wins by 3 bike lengths instead of 4.
Lulu flashes huuuuge smile! And huuge laugh..
Pasamontes points at him turns to camera and does the he’s crazy sign. LOVE it, my Caisse boys rock!

The great thing about Keenan is that he overcompensates with information. He’s the Bruce McAvaney of cycling. Pity his pronunciation of French is worse than Phil’s.
90% of the time, I like P&P....except for the over-the-top LA (& others) adulation.
Their experience is extensive and their love for the sport is undeniable. And their accents are cool.
Yeah, they have what could be called "Lance-gasms."
Mon coeur appartient aux les forçats de la route.
They have multiple L-gasms, though
and they back up night after night. Such stamina, even after all these years.
The stage Ivanov won?
Not very interesting. Except for the evil Garmens.

Possibly for Farrar
but also to keep Wiggo up near the front. With only 3 seconds between him and Frank, a little split (as happens) at the end could see him lose 4th
I'd personally like...
to see George stay with Columbia, otherwise his career will always be in Lance’s shadow. But then again they are friends, however if George wants to win Roubaix Columbia will absolutely be a better classics squad than any team lance puts together where Classics are tune-up races and afterthoughts.
Maybe Friends, but a bit of a tiff at the moment..

After one of the GT's
Cav bought the team expensive watches as a thank you. I wonder what he’s going to have to do this time, especially if he wins in Paris.
Wasn't that the story
where he was going to buy himself a Ferrari, but decided to get a Fiat instead and spend the rest of the money on watches for his teammates.

This Phil and Paul line about how everyone is for LA but the evil French press...
