ah thanks just saw it
if you have a couple of favs in May it’s possible.
I am doing the Ventoux event on June 5th in that direction
Moo
there's one called la laurentine on May 29
100km (denivelé 850) & 170 km (denivelé 2700). Thing is the short route is nothing to get excited about. The long one i think is great – but long! But it’s some of those roads you saw on my flickr last year.
On May 15th is la Vencoise : 140 km, 2500 m de dénivelé …105 km, 2000 m de dénivelé. Again the long is more interesting – includes the col de vence from both directions, col de bleine and col de cornille.
The Antiboise in mid-April should be great – ride along beautiful coastline then up into the mountains (Esterel).
Maybe the best is if you pass through the area, just stop and do some rides here and there. Very nice things between here and Ventoux as well, although i’ve not ridden much of it. If you ever do something like that let me know i can give you some pointers on places to ride. If you ever want info drop me an email.
so who you got for the stage win
I will go with….Piti

i want it to be sagan
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I think that is a tie then
I forget how they decide it…TT times?
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 10, 2010 10:41 AM EST up reply actions
if they have the same time on seconds
they look at hundreds of seconds in the prologue TT to decide the leader. I dont know who gets it then.
gap?

Jens! is bigger than any one VDS team
hey Jens! is on my VDS team!!!!
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Don't worry
Albertina will have a week of sightseeing schoolchildren as penalty for that transgression.

Age before beauty ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
It can't be updated
because my points don’t seem to have increased. Oh wait, I just have rotten picks.
We're going to see jens! get yellow too I think..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'm watching, hope my uptight IT guy ignores me streaming into the office.
I have to see this…. \o/ Yay, Jens!!
Isn't it lovely? Fantastic
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
(sigh) He looks really happy.
I thank the Gods of Cycling for that guy, and I’m so grateful that his year has started out so well. (OK, going back to work now. Thanks for the updates, everybody, have a great day.)
You too. Such good news should put a spring in your step.

Great Moments in Sporting History!
Jens! in Yellow. And looking good I might add.

Loved his comment
after Boom took yellow. He wasn’t surprised , he had seen him done well before and as a cyclocrosser he was coming into the season with good form from racing. Only Boom didn’t race much cross this winter.
We got to talk to Jens! at the Tour of Missouri...
already then, to our amazement, you couldn’t tell about the crash. The only marks on his face looked like very minor, old scratches. He’s indestructible, as well as having had someone do some good work (or did he do that himself?)

A sight to behold!

liquigas should only be allowed
to win green jerseys.
fashion wise

yeah right. not bat at all

Yes, the yellow could be a fashion tragedy..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
And Jens wants to defend yellow...
Well guys. A pleasure as usual. Now I need to eat and get back to work.
See you tomorrow. I will have lunch at home to watch this. heheh
"Racing bikes is for the kids, the rest of us just want to feel like kids on our bikes" - Flying Dog
See you then ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
yeah,
but tomorrow is Mende, won’t be easy. I expect we’ll see contador in yellow tomorrow afternoon.
Fuglsgang had a bad day too.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah I could see Jens! going well up there with it being a short power climb
but he can’t match Bert’s acceleration, with bonus seconds he needs only about 10 seconds right? Should be a great stage, a combo of Jens!-Bert 1-2 I will gladly take…oh and Valverde way off the back after he cracked miserably.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Hmmm
We saw today Jens! not wanting to help Contador pull; the rest of the break were also content to suck Bert’s wheel. I seriously doubt that we’ll see Jens! at any point ahead of Bert on the Mende climb. Instead he’ll hope to stay close and draft. Emphasis on the word “hope” in that last sentence.
It’ll be interesting to see what Saxo does with Schleck. Protect him too or make him pull? Then there’s Kreuziger who might be the most likely one to try to distance Bert.
Kreuziger even tried tp pull back the break when Sagan was there
Could be the danger due: Kreuziger/Sagan but not sure if either is willing to work or sacrifice his chances for the other.
Sagan said today that Kreuz is #1.
After probably his DS gave him a talking to. Kid’s a prodigy but the crazy thing is that the vet Kreuz is still eligible for the young rider jersey.
ES guys were talking about it
Roman must not be very pleased…

Lassen wir das(?) D-Tour uber-sprechen, ja?
Y’know, like, nome-saying? the one where one Levi Leipheimer could not dislodge a certain Jens Voigt on a climb made for Leipheimer?
Sometimes I think the muscle fibers in Voigt’s body wonder who they pissed off enough to be stuck with his will.
Maybe Jens! wasn't bad when we saw him shake "no" at Bert
As noted by http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/03/news/voigt-leads-paris-nice-as-sagan-wins-stage_107570
“I hesitated at the end between wanting to pull clear of the peloton and really trying to win the stage,” said Voigt. “It was a difficult decision to make.”
