That was my superpower when I worked for the library--finding misplaced books.
The trick is thinking like a dyslexic and hungover library shelver.

Thank you ma'am..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
it has to be Soler... he's my man in Spain ;)
The fact that he finished back yesterday is irrelevant..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
mostly I have Oscar Pereiro in this.
I think maybe I could have chosen 1/2 pointers more wisely for VDS. I don’t think Preiro will have opportunities to win.
Soler is unlikey to ever be the main man at Caisse either,
but I’ve missed him lighting up a race with his hope :)

he did rather fade away huh?

I don't think so... in fact I'm sure he'll be back.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I was never sure who Rujano rated as one and two.
Thought it was Contador and Andy Schleck at first, but he thought Joaquim Rodriguez was number two, didn’t he?

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Hmm...
This season’s results sort af support his case so far, but I understand Schleck the Younger doesn’t always start riding until a bit later on.
He hurt himself last year, then there was the Barloworld disintegration.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah, but he could have chances to finish top 10 (GC-wise)...
And for a one-pointer that’s all you need really

Check Contador out in the background
Might not be that smart getting invoved in sprints with Greame Brown, when you weigh like 60kg and you have the Tour to win.
No, I don’t know what he really weighs, I’ll find out.
He can TT, he can climb, now he working on his sprint!
One day, one stage, one race, one tour at a time.
I remember his weight being mentioned during Volta ao Algarve.
“(…)I have done more or less like other years, perhaps with more long trainings in 2009, with the idea to adjust a little more weight, because I’m still 63,5 kg, 2 kg above the weight of the Tour , and you can feel that.”

Trying to work out todays training schedule....
can anyone provide a better estimate for the finish/last climb….i.e. when should they hit the climb?

This is a job for Super Ted.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
based on the official website the climb, from 500m toi 1750m, should take 30min
so I need be home from the first leg of training by 4pm….

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Mostly Astana at the front of the peloton
What color is the leaders jersey? Maybe Bos right there still.
I don't remember if I got the link from MyP2P or Steephill

It is weird — I surely didn’t do anything different this morning. Gap now 1:36
well, someone on justin.tv has a link to cyl8, but it's not active atm. maybe they didn't know about the earlier start time today?

If the past is an indicator of future performance
I’m assuming Soler will attack 10 times, and then get dropped in the last k and finish out of VDS points

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, and ever, you’ll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that’s how it must be
To live without you
Would only meen heartbreak for me.
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.
Forever, and ever, you’ll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, forever, that’s how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
My darling believe me, ( beleive me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too (answer his pray)
And I’m in love with you (answer his pray)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray)
Forever, and ever, you’ll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, forever, that’s how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)
Albertina is going to be rather peeved...

by thebongolian on Apr 16, 2010 10:48 AM EDT up reply actions
Menchov is here for training purposes.
Not sure Machado or Jani can make up that much time on Anton and Zeke in what 15 km….
On second thought
Looking back at last year’s Dauphine, the opening ITT of 12 km, Anton lost 56 seconds to Evans (with Bert 8 seconds back). This could be interesting though I’m thinking Anton is on better form now than he was in that race last year.
Much better form.
Anton had a shoddy year last year. That crash on the Angliru seriously knocked the stuffing out of him. He wasn’t physically quite right for ages.
ANTON WON???!!!! YESSSSS!
Hahahahahahahaha! You’ll believe me more in future!
STUPID LIBRARY TOUR. BAH.
Well I'd love to say this were the case...but no.
I feel sure Anton and I would be great friends if I had the chance to meet him, but in this matter I went on good solid faith and some intuition. He was in good form last week and I know he’s hungry. Woop woop woop!
Great week for Euskaltel Euskadi
They need all the wins they can get with their main sponsor withdrawing at the end of season.
SamSan's words, not mine
I read it in an interview back in January(no links this time, I found it most probably on a Spanish website). It struck me as odd, considering Basques managed to make it such a succesful and healthy operation with Orbea as a feeder team. Things could have obviously changed since then, but from what I recall team’s ProTour licence runs out at end of this year and there might not be any interest on behalf of current sponsor to continue investing in the squad – mind that’s only me speculating.
I read that interview too.
I’d be really surprised if Euskaltel pulled the plug I have to say, but who knows what goes on… Hopefully, if they do, they’ll be someone to step in. It seems to me there are quite a few companies into sports sponsorship in the Basque Country. Sport is a big part of identity. My fingers are crossed.
I'm still hugely impressed by Machado
He was the first to respond to Contador’s push and was able to reduce the time gap to the best of his ability despite some serious attacking at the front.
I for one hope that Bruyneel leaves him out from Tour de France squad and allows him to ride in smaller races as a captain for his team. For starters this year’s Tour of Poland course would suit him well, despite lack of TT stage + I would have a chance to see him live again.
i didn't see the stage today
but i hope he take a rest in July like you said, because in previous years he had always this great form until that month. After this, at least in Volta a Portugal he seemed tired.
Honestly, i don’t believe he will ride the Tour this year. What i like to see it was he take a rest and then prepare to ride the Vuelta.
