not your fault that jens decided to pop this one up a half hour earlier, now is it?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
attacks are numerous today, right from the stage start
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
poor rein. he's feeling tired today and did not start.

Duran and Doi are about to catch Isaychev, Kern and Wilmann. splits in the peloton.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
The riders face a three-quarter head wind on the way to Finike. the five riders have a gap of 1.40 on the peloton.

After 36km, the five leading riders are 1.18 away from the bunch
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I'd love Doi to win a stage... he's been there every day.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I recken today Cofidis could use the same sort of tactics as stage 3
and get Taaramae, Moncoutie, and Maybe Kern from the break to gain time on the late climb and stay away for the win
!
Must be saving him for the Ardennes. I can’t really remember having called any stage correctly so far TBH.
...and they need him in the ardennes?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
No, I agree with you...I'm thinking 'tired' is just a furphy.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Red herring/trick... this one I can do..
Joseph Furphy supposedly wrote a very important colonial novel, which I personally loathed. There was great surprise when Furphy wasn’t really Furphy ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
No...it was early in my university career that I came across him..
To my shame I’ve almost completely wiped it from my memory..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
- The gap between Kern, Isaychev, Wilmann, Duran and the bunch is stabilised around two minutes. 5 minutes ago via web
- The ISD-Neri team of turquoise jersey Giovanni Visconti is keen to let the four men breakaway go for a long day away without Doi. 10 minutes ago via web
- According to Radio-Tour, a mechanical problem is the origin of Doi pulling back to the bunch. It’s also a relief for his former companions.

It's 12 am at a workday
the regular crowd shuffles in
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
tnx. i needed that song running thru my head now
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
It had to be done

Could be worse, no?
If you follow links to music by Frinking…
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
You understand that we know better than to follow them/
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
A wise decision
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
ditto for laola1
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Waaah! You're supposed to help me justify it.
Will it be ok if I go out and climb the hill down my road ten times tonight?
About eating fish?
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
why for? cause it's fried?

as long as you don't do it all the time, a little indulgence is good for you.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
always best to feed a craving
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
to say nothing of your arteries...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
You kiddies just don't eat enough real food
…I’ve eaten crap all my life and I’ll make fifty i reckon. Eat heartily and then punish oneself with laps of a hill is my suggestion, but maybe you already know that.
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??
Or come from a family of scrum halfs... it works wonders for me..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Chapeau... on a good day...but we're scrappy ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'm descendant of the Winger bloodline myself.
A bit Larry Corowa without the tan
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??
A lot of flash and dash and no brains?
Nah… seriously Lote Tuquiri is still my hero… and Corowa was one of the best.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
ooh, downhill
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
you get a feeling that one goat (?) is a wanderer? being tied out and all.
"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 unable to follow the stage today.
But I can’t believe this thread has yet to mention Tejay VanGarderen. !!??
Kid is killing it. Riding into contention while in the shadow of the teams’ heavy hitters.
Greipel and all must suck the air out of the team bus, but this kid is still bringing it.
He can easily pick up 16 secs on Visconti in the TT.
Just have to stay in touch.

But why aren't you hanging your head at such an oversight? Shocking...
I’ve been keeping an eye on a recovering Mark Renshaw though..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Ha.. I believe he's nicknamed Harry after a certain prince and because of aforementioned cheeks?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
And he should've been knighted by the Brits in Paris last year...
Cavendish Bah!
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??
Well, whilst I never say 'bah' I applaud the sentiment...
but he got a big smoodge from Cav ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
He's redeemed a little by his eyelashes and his affection for his friends...
it’s hard not to see him as a prat though..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I checked.
Notably: 2009, 2nd overall to Romain Sicard in Tour de l’Avenir, won overall of the Tour du Haut Anjou, beating Sicard and the recently impressive Sep Vanmarcke.
one palmares
Is this that Van Garderen 'kiddie' with the strange given name ;0
‘Kiddie’ is flatty’s special word… and the Sagan kiddie is particularly special..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I bow to the rightful owners of the moniker...
messrs Slaven and Nelson
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??
John Doyle is a god...I'm bowing with you.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Nice resource.
What is that websites home address?

Hey that kiddie Tejay's in the breakaway..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
no. the favorites group from the peloton
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Okay..I'm confused now..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
can hardly hear martin over the ambient noise today
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
at least with ctv you could email them to adjust the audio
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
96km, 3.57
is that right? seems they should be further along.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
ooh, killer blue
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
...but Cipollini really has ripped the bikes paintwork off Wilier/Lampre
although ISD had long adopted the fluoro yellow before Petacchi and Cunego used it…
85km, 3.49
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
hey, someone tweet martin about the audio probs...

Congratulations Turkish tourist-board
this is totally working. I feel a need to travel to Turkey sometime soon.

I’ve already bought one frozen, and put a deposit on another for Christmas, so their marketing must be working.
You could open an Old Testament Tour operation..

well, except for the parts taken for testing

Speaking of the Sagan kiddie....
Can anyone tell me if he made the Roubaix bike stadium last week?
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??
Don't think so... but one day he'll be in the vanguard...
but he’ll still be that Sagan kiddie to us..

i have a wonderful Scotsman commentating! Who is it?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Thanks...perhaps this is the person who's just changed his surname to Macdonald?
There will be a test from umwolverine later…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
yes
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
if you think marty's wonderful, you'd love brian smith... now he's a scot
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
You mean there are degrees of Scottishness?
I wonder what Triki thinks…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Can I just point out that Martin McCrossan has an English accent?
Don’t know who Brian Smith is, sorry.
Well I'm listening to an Englishman a Scot... and I have no idea who they are.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
So Brian smith is the Scot... because one of them has a Scottish accent?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Aha
Brian Smith can be Scottish if he wants: he’s obviously spent enough time here to sound Scottish. Martin McCrossan could be Scottish also, for all I know, but he sounds English, so it would be difficult to identify him as Scottish from his voice alone. He may just have a Scottish name, on the other hand.
the mccrossan boys were born in scotland, but moved to england.
brian’s a native scot.
i’ve heard paisley often mentioned by the trio in reference to hometowns
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Sorry I started it, but I'm a sucker for a Scottish accent ;)

ah. they traded off. not unusual.

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
see, we all assumed you were watching laola1.tv. silly us.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I love the English speaking feed and BLVS have been good to me ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Glad we got that hacked out.
On Eurosport they seem to be going on a bit much about what Cofidis and ISD should be doing…
btw, we have a WORKING LIVE STREAM for castille y leon. hop to that thread. it'll be done before turkey today

It's hugely popular with Australians, but I haven't been yet..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Greipel!
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I like that the barriers are fairly straight this year.
Bicycling is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds. Louis J. Helle, Jr.
Props to all of them. Great finish..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That's what racing is about.
Racing for first. Instead of best of the rest.

Both races today have been exciting.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Really an interesting finish
the bunch closing, HTC catch the break about a k out, Kern accelerates again out of the corner, Visconti jumps after him, CSF Colnago opens the sprint early, passes Visconti, Greipel leaves his train to come around CSF for the win. Everyone had a go.
Bah
I wanted the break to make it. Or someone else than Greipel to win.
