Print...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...

I would have back pain
but I’m off my bike at the moment.

Chris, is it knee pain from over training? Or were any involved in training accidents/falls?
"Let’s plunge ourselves into the roar of time, the whirl of accident; may pain and pleasure, success and failure, shift as they will- it’s only action that can make a man" Faust, Goethe
Martin and Fuglsang are overtraining injuries (if we are to believe the press releases)
"Woof, woof, woof! That's my other dog imitation."
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.

Anyone know who his teammate is?

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 pain fades after a while too

Half the fun is moaning about crappy live feeds.

Thank you.
Oh yes, crappy live feeds. :(

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.
Links in the title don't work
Bah, newbies. I’ll let it slide because you have such an awesome first name.
Srsly those damn newbies
and who is this guy coming on here and spamming us with his twitter account, talk about shameless self promotion(just joking of course).
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
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?
Well that's just....
an extremely valid point, being shameless myself I could not answer that.

More engaging than Basso’s dinner plans?

And when gav takes someone to task for his spelling, you know it must be bad.
iamtedking’s tweets—so woefully grammatical and well-spelled.
I will be a different rider in 2010, one who wins races.--Linus Gerdemann
Stephen Fry thinks so, too
Have you heard his podcast on the subject? http://www.stephenfry.com/2008/12/22/series-2-episode-3-language/
Gargh, can't believe he misspelt dinnAr!
Really, someone should inform Basso of his continuing error….Gav? ;-)
