stage is now 18 km shorter - 216 km now

The stage 5 route has been changed due to road damage on one of the climbs, and the three moderate climbs have been replaced by one tough climb (already done) The finish has a 750m 15% wall (max 20%) just 1 km from the line.

OMG, I'm joint 10th overall ind VDS.

I have a nosebleed.

Lost some points with Uran today though.

by afx237vi on Mar 14, 2010 11:55 AM EDT reply actions  

I have hope for Uran all season, not just this week.

Maybe something in Catalunya or Romandie, or even a grand tour. Dude finished 3rd in Lombardia when he was 21. Majorly talented.

Crap.

just dropped about 40 places on VDS.

I feel for you.

Maybe we could start a support group.
Or, maybe I could console myself that I’m comparatively not that much of a loser.

Actually, I don't want to go down that road.

There are going to be times when I lose big because of Bert, but it would’t give me any sense of satisfaction to have picked him.

Do you have machado as well? What an effort he put out Saturday for Levi, who wasn’t capable of doing anything with it.
