Final podium left to be settled. Slightly less intriguing after Gesinks poor luck yesterday but there is still excitement. Sanchez, Basso and the aussie countertenor will do battle for the two lower steps.
Someone please post starttimes if you find them, I cannot.

'allo
Yawn.
Y’all have to keep me awake, ’k? ’s been a long day…
Mmmmm... yes there is that :-)
… and it was not so much ‘work’, more an early-morning party at Head Office! Just…a party where everyone was seated and doing work…
The best thing about my job is, without a doubt, the folks that I work with :-).
Yeah, but it's never a 'good time', is it?
Don’t talk yourself out of the idea using THAT excuse ;-)
That's the way!
Grasp you destiny with both hands, and whatnot… :-)
I'm with Lou. Go girl!

Hey girls! I'm 'rooting' for Cuddles. Ha ha!
Even using the ‘r’ word makes me feel strange, let alone the Evans factor ;)

I recommend some casual reading for you, Boulder Report.

Well written, but so yesterday ;)

rbjhan... if i ever want someone who'll never waver
no matter what happens, you’ll be the one I choose ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Ah, not that's a bit harsh..
… our rbjhan is not ‘unwavering, no matter what’. She just requires good, solid, bullet-proof argument / evidence ;-)
...except where Contador is concerned
I suspect that may be a weak spot :-)
You're on fire!
A tiny weak spot. Of course i would never exploit it…

hey
if I want to talk to the name-calling types, I can find some here too….
I choose to ignore them, that’s all.
Oh well
If you change your mind, let me know… ‘cause I reckon I’d want a front row seat ;-)
To a blue?
Never gonna happen. It’s only sport. Or am I hearing voices again? ;)
Is it time for a weather report?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

not interested.
argument can only be interesting if all parties involved know what they are talking about….the SBS ones, I’m afraid not.

frinkster is not a problem

Helsy, now that’s a challenge, who can do screenshots like that? is Ted in the house today?

He's young....
and Gesink is struggling. I saved a photo for him but I’m so inept that my attempts at posting it have failed :(

Not yet. I draw the line at being sympathetic to Valverde

BTW, I got a good laugh from the local newspaper this morning
Every day they have a section where they list all the sports that will be shown on TV. So obviously they listed the Vuelta, together with a pic of Bernard Hinault and a text that said “Sebastien Hinault rides in this years Vuelta a Espana, he’s not related to Bernard Hinault (picture).”

Well, seeing as how we have a slow news TT happening here
I will just make the following observation:
The one major drawback of living alone is that there is NEVER any other bastard to do the washing up!
There's technology and technology
The dishwasher is my friend ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
the two things are not mutually exclusive ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I don't want to move
…and that’s what would happen after he installed one… and then increased my rent again
It can be moved with you
Speaking from experience here. So buy one..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Next question becomes
where to put a dishwasher. No space without ripping out cupboards :-(
how many dishes do you do at a tme?
there are small compact dw that sit on counters
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Maybe...
I should start eating off sheets of aluminium foil. I could just rinse them off and re-use. I use a TON of the stuff for de-tarnishing silver… why not use it as a plate first?
Countertop dishwasher?

I’ve never seen one here!
plenty of those in China of course…..maybe I should get somebody to buy one for me….
I can't say that I know anyone who have such a dishwasher
They were fairly popular among the people I studied with at the university tho.

but in inner city Sydney I think there’d be a demand.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

but no doubt Lou will let us know.

OK... so those with dishwashers...
Do you find yourself re-washing things often?
… ‘cause that would be just like it was when there WAS a bastard sharing the washing up, and I must confess that it was an annoyance all of it’s own…
important thing to remeber about dishwashers, no matter the brand or what they tell you
they DON’T wash the dishes, they sterilize them
still need to rinse the dishes off, remove dried particles
great for get theat grease film off

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
At least if you're living alone it's only you making the dishes dirty!
I’m perfectly happy washing my own dishes, it’s when you have to wash other peoples’ that it gets annoying
don't bother w/ the F&P
ours was beautiful but troublesome. eventually couldn’t get it fixed.
Replaced w/ a plain one.
Really rbjhan, those little dishwashers can be both great and cheap. I had a little one when in a small apartment. only $150US then.
I love these off topic/ crowd sourcing moments. It’s what makes this such a delightful group!
i've heard the same about my f&p topload washer and dryer. both work like charms

Bert has won 5 I.T.T this season, I think
Amazing for a mountain goat. Impressive. Makes u wonder. Doesn’t it? :)
We really don't wonder here in a live thread ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
People who wonder
in live threads tend to catch fire, as I recall…
He has been the best rider in the world.
And among the best time trialists/trialers. And I still wonder.
no doping talk in live threads

I thought it was
a shirt with my face on it… ala Flatbagger’s suggestion.
A shirt and jeans…
No... flatbagger suggested
shirt with own face. And I think that’s brilliant :-)
Yes but you still need a cape with SL trim in kazakhstan
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

Poor Gesink. I feel bad for him.
First he has to sleep on the floor, and then his knee explodes.
I'm gonna yell for Cadel. And Zeke, as I have him on th Ed's League.
(Oh, mighty cycling gods, please, please get me out of the lowly gutter in the Ed’s League….)
Good luck there! With you on both

Saturday Review
So, this morning, the Figurehead barely escapes pigtails and rouge at the hands of our Australian women (who, having lost their prey, promptly turned to more womanly matters).
I would just like to point out
that it is Sunday morning…
Since you're posting from the future
does the package I’m waiting for arrive today?
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
You don't get it on Saturdays?
We do.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
and thank god for that
I did a bit of Postal Rate Commission work a decade ago, I still have some residual boredom.
And I might add
that your mailbox is a bit far for me to see clearly…
Cadel looks good. Very still upper-body, good sign. He usually bobs his head a little more.
And I like it when they show riders on the split screen.
Sshh, we mustn't jinx him ;)

Anybody else think
Cadel’s bike is hideous looking? What a lump.
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
Is the running split calculated using GPS transponders?
If so…are they on the riders or officials motos?
So, since I missed it
Did Cadel’s terrible wheel change really cost him that much time? Would he be neck and neck with VV if it wasn’t for that?
Do tell.
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
Too bad
I think he’s a bit of a stiff, but I hate when bad luck takes a rider out of the battle.
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
also Cadel and *Lotto are to blame

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
no, at the time check he was not far off the lead
that’s good riding by Evans, however bad a TTer Zeke is
Zeke sucking at TT is true
But he is due a little credit as only Evans, Kreuz and now Sanchez have done sector two within 10 seconds of Millar’s time
