Real fever is gone today
so it would be a great morning if it wasn’t snowing here! Hard to adjust from 60 degrees all week.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Ha! Yeah, I think it broke open while flying over!
This snow thing is crappy! Very windy and wet snow.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
I was waiting to hop in and got tired of waiting. :-)

He's the kid who was one of ProCycling's Fab 4 in '08, when he was with QuickStep.
I had him on my VDS. Then he just disappeared last year. I just read last week that he had a bad drinking problem, but is in recovery and jumped at the chance to race with ISD this season. He was frisky on a T-A stage, too, wasn’t he?
Yeah he was out all day in the rain on stage 1...Actually he was with ISD last year and they fired him
after his drinking problems and they only re-hired them in January/February

Can't you grab a mouse off someone else's computer?
1974 is so long ago. Nearly thirty years.--Mark Cavendish
Unless it's not USB but an old-fashioned PS/2 plug
then you need a reboot. But I can’t imagine a netbook having a PS/2 connection.
I think she said it was only about a year old, so should be plug n play.

That's probably deliberate

I demand effort points for Bouet
If we’re gonna reward best young jerseys, we should also do “maillot du plus combatif” :)
Looks like he won’t be able to follow Grabowski… Oh well… Nice try !
Typical French tactics.
Show the jersey, surrender and then go home to eat some delicious pesto ! Who can blame them ??

Looking at the peloton shape in Berta
We could have a 60 riders group in front after the Cipressa… It’s starting to be tough in the back…
10km or so
to the Cipressa!!!
"The only pain I got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is." Edvald Boasson Hagen
less than 10k from the end I think

Cipressa starts at 28 to go, top at 23 to go
Poggio starts at 8 to go, top at 6 to go,
approximately
that was gorgeous

Isn't he. Very talkative. For him, anyway.
It’s his day though. I liked the story about Cassani crashing & nearly taking him with him.

Everytime I look at the ISD kit I have a flashback to 1991.
Nice to see Grabovsky back and doing something though. And I think the fluorescent bike might be growing on me.
I must say that I like it better than RadioShack

The red on the ShackShorts
has an unfortunate way of showing sweat stains on the backside.
Jens Voigt doesn’t know where you live, but he knows exactly where you will die.
No doubt
Isn’t it time for hemlines to go back up? Shorts to go shorter?
I go up da hills den I go down da hills
Heh. *Back* up?
Don’t know about where you are, but if hemlines get much shorter here, I won’t be able to buy skirts anymore for fear of public indecency.
Pretty sure Cipo would approve of that though.
workers outside just tripped my house lighting breaker.
Fortunately the PC is on a separate circuit!

reading his face?
Not sure how to take that look. Either tired or concerned about something else.

Cervelo and Lampre
"Cofidis Keukeleire in revelation set off a seat and made the job off." Oh Google translator...
Has there been a Cav sighting
Or is he still brushing his teeth at the back of the pack?

Well it's gonna be one big bunch at the bottom of Cipressa
And then all hell will break loose :)
Frackin bunch sprint into the Cipressa

Tony's been glued to Boonen's wheel all day. They are all looking rough, to me.
Must be the grime from the roads smeared all over them…

No monkey business
on the Cipressa so far.

Am I totally missing SexyBank?
Kit changes take me forever to pick up.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Tony's up near the front, but the A&S kits are so similar to his,
you have to watch for the Swiss Cross really carefully.
He did say he wouldn't kill his team for no reason
Probably knew right away on the Cipressa (if not earlier) that he didn’t have it today.
Jens Voigt doesn’t know where you live, but he knows exactly where you will die.
Are you sure?
It looked like he was playing road BINGO with some of those other guys in the back.
Where is Lars??
"The only pain I got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is." Edvald Boasson Hagen
OK
going back to bed now. See you guys.

Did they say Friere's near the front?
I didn’t see him and I’m listening in Italian
Not in a cohesive manner.

There's one up there, but I couldn't read the number so not sure if it's EBH or not.
