Time for the big boys to show their cards as the race hits the notoriously hard (for March) Col de Vence. It's a good bet the GC will get a bit of a shakeup today and the question is if the Caisse d'Epargne double threat of LL Sanchez and Valverde can unsettle Alberto Contador? Does he still have a lot to learn?

Bonjour messieurs, dames
Planning on a little bicycle trip myself, recording & watching later. Au revoir!
I'm looking forward to hopefully watching tonight..

yeah from midnight i think..
I’ve been sick and have had to record the last 3 nights… feeling a littl better, but not sure i’ll stay up all night, might set alarm for last bit!

thanx... gave so much blood today for testing, was wondering how the guys do it all the time..

morning y'all
only getting about half hour of video today…then off to the football..saturdays are hard to prioritise

yes indeed
my girlfriend’s gone home for mothers day, so i’m off to watch watford destroy peterborough…hopefully!

it's not lovely, it's cruel, hard cruel
newcastle are running away with it, obvz. then west brom are second…bit of a dogfight for playoff spots.

yeah that's right
it’s good in that it gives a lot of teams something to play for…like we’re 19th at the mo, but we’re only actually 11 points off 6th, which is not as big a gap as the prem…you can go on a run and get somewhere. but i agree, it would suck for the champions league spots.

that is not entirely up to the league I hope.
surely UEFA also has a say in it? not that I have much faith in Monsieur Platini…
the league voted against it anyways, so it's all good
but i think they have most of the say. i believe holland used to have a playoff system…greece still does…i might be wrong though. all it does is further dilute a tournament that’s called the CHAMPIONS league and stuffed with a bunch of clubs who finished 4th! bah.

it's all about money
I remember when UEFA cup and the Cup Winners Cup actually meant something….
now the brand new Europa league is already a big fail. bah indeed.
bah bah bah

and pool's in it.....
meh.
now that RM wants to get rid of Pellegrini, maybe they can take Rafa? i know i know, wishful thinking.
could happen
he did play for them, coach their youth team, etc etc…and real madrid can afford to pay off his contract! pool would have sacked him by now, if they could only afford it.

Florentino Perez is all about glamour
somehow I don’t think Rafa fits the bill!
why he fired del Bosque is beyond me…
why perez does anything he does
is beyond me….odious man!

i was laughing so hard
when the other day Sid said the biggest controversy now is about who the 3rd keeper should be…
yeah it's hilarious
they are just silly good.

By the way, I hope we all enjoyed the Benna Hottitude last night.

I will never nderstand that man
He kind of hearts Spain, though- he does well there, n’est-ce pas?
But still: so much talent, such little ambition. He seeks to sneak his way onto the top
step, unnoticed. Evans was the same until last year. It is not the way of a champion. It is not even the way of a Sagan.

No
He’s tough. He lacks courage. He won’t risk losing so he won’t give himself the chance to win. It’s the difference between him and Menchov.
by Runitout on Mar 13, 2010 7:43 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
That's a tough statement... I love it I think, in regards to Menchov
and I must admit I’ve never really stopped to think about Levi…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
not the only difference...

So what are the other differences?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
no
i meant that menchov is russian and levi is american, duh

Levi's bald, Menchov isn't, he's short, Menchov isn't
… that sort of thing?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
So Menchov has courage because he's Russian...
or Levi doesn’t because he’s American?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
neither
sarcasm doesn’t come across well over the internet, apologies ;)

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
lots of places!
cunego going for GC has been particularly fruitful over the years…but i might have to look for a replacement source, perhaps vino will do the trick..

I think it might not be courage but selfconfidence
All those seasons on Rabo and Gerolsteiner when he was never able to avoid the “jour sans” in the GT’s have him hesitating to go all in and trust himself. That’s my pseudo-psychoanalysis anyway.
I'm inclined to agree...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
if he has any hopes of doing something come July
joining Retirement Shack does not seem to be the best idea.
He knows his time is past. I think it's a very wise move
and at least he doesn’t have to be the Great White Hope wf Americans with Armstrong on the team.

I read on CN that when Rein Taaramae was in that break yestaerday
his break companions asked him to leave because he was to high in the GC. He asked his DS, and sat up. I had thought he was after the mountains points, or just knew they were going to be caught.
His DS said that he was also a bit stupid for going to the break in the first place after nobody jumped with him

just finished riding the final loop
up and down the col de vence. Beautiful weather – a bit cold up high – but i didn’t have a windbreak – and still, no huge deal. God that descent is a blast! That was fun. Goes on forever – not too tecnical. They are going to just bomb that thing. Most of it you pedal it. Although at the end right before Tourette it is uphill again – nothing very steep but more than a false flat – 4-6%? Goes on for a good ways like that.
Was perfect this morning but on the way back started running into some pretty good winds. But all in all i think very good conditions. Don’t think weather will have anything to do with how they ride today.
Sweet! also... not jealous!

moving picture update
how is the corporation in the break ? are they sharing the workload? there are a few big engines on that move, they can do some big damage if left unattended.
The gap is hovering around 1:20-30 and it seems like everybody is rotating for the most part
Plus even with all the engines they have in there, they still have 2 1/4 about

astana, caisse, garmin, liqui working in the peloton to keep the break relatively manageable

I don't think i'm very keen on Bert's yellow booties..

Yeah they are on those FFWD wheels

is it okay to ask where? I'm sorry, i'm laughing.
I hope he was alright.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yikes. Willj came across a dead cow that had fallen of a cliff.
"Awesome! is more about what gets fans excited than what’s harder to do." - Chris...
Didn't Chris ask us recently not to post video links in the threads?
Legal reasons and such? I think I remember that but it is early and maybe I dreamt it.
"Awesome! is more about what gets fans excited than what’s harder to do." - Chris...
No he asked us not to suggest illegal ways of accessing geo-restricted feeds.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
no, you didn't, and, yes, he did
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
no.
he said we shouldn’t say how break the geo restrictions with tricks and cheats

Thank you.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
hmmm... 2 different answers.
Maybe I’ll try to find the original thread after the race. But thank you for the answers.
"Awesome! is more about what gets fans excited than what’s harder to do." - Chris...
i think he started the post one way, and then switched to the other way
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
We're right.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
ho-hum, gap staying steady at 1.20, about 94km to go
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Chavanel did pick up another 3 seconds on another sprint, though.
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
twice, so a total of 6 extra secs so far today
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
it's a good thing i listen more than watch these feeds, cause it's a bit jumpy today
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
those radioshack kits in action... shudder
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
they are bad and very difficult to differentiate.
"Awesome! is more about what gets fans excited than what’s harder to do." - Chris...
Difficult to differentiate from what? I can't think of another that looks like them.
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
in a group they blend in, at least for me
"Awesome! is more about what gets fans excited than what’s harder to do." - Chris...
Ah. You must have a really bad feed.
Not saying I like them or anything, but I find the grey distinctive and easy to pick out.

They're a bit challenging when BMC is there
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
It would be boring if we all liked the same things.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Not crazy about it, but there are definitely worse.
Astana, Footon, AG2R…
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
footon i can see. even astana's pjs. but ag2r?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Cyril Dessel rocks those shorts.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Nobody rocks brown shorts. Especially with a blue and white jersey.
I lived through the Seventies once. I see no need to do it again.
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
So did I. We'll agree to disagree.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That's quickly becoming the cliche of the day, isn't it?
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Just saw umwolverine's response.
I could just go with, ‘Majope, you’re wrong’.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That's better. If disliking ugly kits is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
those colors go quite well together... it's not as if they clash or anything
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Same... I think the shirts need more blue, less white.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'll go with the first two and add Liqui..

On the flip side
I really like Vacansoleil’s kit. Understated but enough colour to tell its them

I like Saxo's best I think.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I know. The only redeeming value is the yellow livestrong band on the arms.
It’s the only way I can tell them apart from some other kits.
just be thankful Barloworld arent around

Like the fact he was almost 'kicked'
suggests the cow was aiming, or had practiced!

Wow! Thanks for the links to the blog too.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
yes. a tad worrying that
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
No, the word beginning with 'wo' you were looking for is 'wonderful.'
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
we'll just have to agree to disagree on this subject, won't we?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Nah. All you have to do is come around and agree with me!

ain't. ever. gonna. happen.
besides, don’t you live out near enemy territory… indianapolis?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
that's right, blame it on your hubby....
personally, i’d like to be back in civilization, sigh…. but aol refuses to move their main campus….
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I'm sceptical..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
the question being, how much of the break will shatter on the cat 1?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
a lot...Moinard looks strong and so does Levi and some of the other climbers will come with but a good deal will be shed I think
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 13, 2010 9:16 AM EST up reply actions
Levi lost a lot of time so far,
but to place that high in the prologue, he can’t be that bad, can he? Compare him with Tony Martin, who’s just had a shocker altogether.
tmart's got a bad knee.... what's levi's excuse again?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
The composition again:
Perget (GCE), Sorensen (SAX), Sy.Chavanel, Seeldrayers (QST), Fofonov (AST), T.Martin, Montfort (THR), Tondo (CTT), Van den Broeck (OLO), Casar, Cherel (FDJ), Leipheimer, Machado (RSH), Champion (ALM), Sicard (EUS), Cunego (LAM), Kolobnev, Vorganov (KAT), Gautier (BTL), Cummings (SKY), Moinard (COF) et Geschke (SKS)
Machado was chosen as one of Procycling mag's Fantastic Four
this year, I keep forgetting to tell Sempre’ about that. It’s a nice article.
Oops wring thread//
Rumors is getting more serious say Belgian commentator: Tour is going to be 25 teams, 8 rider per squad

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Gap 2:03, 76 k to go.
Vansummeren is getting a nice pre-classics workout this week, have you noticed? Garmin has had him on the front a lot.
