"yes, i will advise schleck to use small chainwheel on initial climb to keep leg acid down, get some good spinning to take you over the cobbles and still save some juice to finish strong" – translation by interviwer: "he’ll tell him you gotta start strong and finish strong" :))

Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
valv. also seems to have deepened (more) in the chest, and lost (more) ass
Are they sleeping in low-oxygen, or training in the Andes, or what? Or am I mistaken / forgot how odd they are built?
I hope he explodes right before the finish

Frank has no hips, no ass, and no shoulders

"Woof, woof, woof! That's my other dog imitation."
You can't weigh that little

Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
i think it's the kit
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Spots on a muddy background have a naturally slimming affect

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
No height, no width.
Will he just vanish one day?
Odessa can just fold him up
and keep him in one of the kitchen drawers
I'm really thinking that a lot of slim guys are having the same idea--
the same bad idea, that slimming down will be as helpful for them as for Cance and Wiggo.
Ouch
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....

No, I mean, as injured as he was,
and as old as he’s getting.
It’s like he took a youth pill, not a major fall.
He just kicks ass
plus he’s east german, right? Tough as nails!

Obviously, Jens!' powers extend to the time/space continuum.
He said in some TdU interviews that he’s done some really great training over the winter.
very stressful

Be patient. Only Ted can add riders, and putting in partial results can get confusing.

For everyone's information
Whenever riders that are on other teams than the VDS eligble ones score in a race, results will take a bit longer to update.
Big fat 0, I'm approaching the last place of the GC :)

Enjoy watching him get them all
not sure how many polka dots he’ll rack up, but for the rest, I think he’ll get plenty (including more “young rider”).
VDS results
The results on the calendar pages are not pretty. I’m working on the results page, though, that looks better for now: http://www.podiumcafevds.com/results.php?stage=71
His English is good--maybe we could get him for a chat?
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Tomorrow looks long and sprinty.
201.5 km and flat flat flat. Greipel, I would suppose.
