...I understand that the weather in Spain sucks today. As a Seattleite I am tempted to play the HTFU card, but then my commute isn't five hours. Also, the following people have knee pain: Andy Schleck, Jakob Fuglsang, Tony Martin...

Off the bike?

Something wrong with the bike or something wrong with you?

Chris, is it knee pain from over training? Or were any involved in training accidents/falls?

Martin and Fuglsang are overtraining injuries (if we are to believe the press releases)

Andy

said he’s just taking a day off, so presumably it’s minor. We Americans hear “knee pain” and think disaster, but a lot of riders have it and soldier on. It’s not like running sports where the next move could be your last for 18 months.

WTF? There's a 6-day stream?!

OMG, so there is! Loooook! – there’s a track, and Rod Stewart wants to know if I think he’s sexy. Bless you, Daniel!

While not exactly on the same topic,

is it pretty easy to find online streaming video of the major road races that will be coming up shortly? Like Het Volk, Paris-Nice, Tirreno-adriatico, Milan-San Remo….etc.?

You could try cyling.tv

or you could hit yourself in the face with a stick. They’re roughly the same experiences.

The stick in the face is cheaper

and more reliable

I can say with a good deal of confidence that my tweets are as witty and sharp and contemporary and engaging and entertaining and absent of skulduggery and as downright awesome as they come. I don’t see nearly enough iamtedking in the above 200-plus comments.

Just saying.

See you Tuesday night… err, morning or afternoon, depending where you are in the world.

Srsly those damn newbies

As I’ve said plenty of times (I will abstain from posting the various links because that would be too obvious), what’s the point of self promotion if it’s not shameless?
