Hello Shark Jumpers
It is a beautiful OUT OF THE OFFICE day! This should be like global holiday or something.
"Contador just gained a great chance to win, but he lost the chance to win greatly." - Gerard Vroomen
It is.
6 C here. Sky with no clouds. And I can see the Andes covered with snow. But the beautifulness comes from the fact that I am watching the queen stage instead of being at the office. :)

I didn't need to know how many
spiders are running around my place in the early morning. Where are they going? Where do they hide all day? Gah.
If you have that many spiders
just think of all the other bugs you must have to sustain them all.
Dans le final, j'avais des jambes de feu--Sylvain Chavanel, after his win on Stage 7
I think the spiders are eating other spiders.
No other signs of non-spider wildlife. Basement apartment living is tough.
Unless, my god, they are gathering forces to take out me or the 108-lb dog.
Can anyone tell me when Sastre left the peloton to chase
cause he is like in total no mens land.

"Contador just gained a great chance to win, but he lost the chance to win greatly." - Gerard Vroomen

Is he OK?
"Contador just gained a great chance to win, but he lost the chance to win greatly." - Gerard Vroomen
he's still on a bike, but they were looking at his sternum.
Which seems like an unlikely place for a bike wound unless you went down in a bad way.
maybe he hit the bike
"Contador just gained a great chance to win, but he lost the chance to win greatly." - Gerard Vroomen
Winded himself, right shoulder is obviously sore
I hope he’s ok, but at one point it looked bad!
Venga Caisse d'Epargne!
Keenan said race radio freaked everyone out when they
announced that he was not breathing, until everyone realized he’d had the wind knocked out of him…
It was scary
at one point he looked like he was having some sort of fit. I was afraid he’d hit his head. FYI, Bert was seen telling people to slow down.
double shit
now he is going to say that he was doing good until he crashed and bla bla.
Albertina passed out or something?

"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
I wish VS would show feet and meters on the stage profile.
I know they are catering to the novice fan, but it’s confusing the hell out of me.
A PdC Latin Choir... jolly good idea!
Albertina – yes, I’ve done a bit of singing (Handel’s ‘Messiah’ at the Sydney Opera House… I doubt I’ll ever again feel anything quite like being part of that choir ;-) …). These days my singing is largely done in the car, whilst doing housework, and during quiet moments at work. Pitch is still good, range is disgraceful (I’ll take the tenor parts, LOL… alto is a bit of a stretch, in places)

Moreau must finish in at least the top seven of today's stage to win the KOM
Otherwise, it’s Charteau.
If Moreau manages to finish 5th-7th, then Charteau must finish 10th or higher to clinch.
If Moreau finishes 4th, then Charteau must finish 7th or higher.
If Moreau finishes 3rd, then Charteau must finish 6th or higher.
If Moreau finishes 2nd, then Charteau must finish 5th or higher.
If Moreau finishes 1st, then Charteau must finish 4th or higher.

I considered it, then remembered I would be watching
lite beer commercials for most of that first hour.
I'm lovin' the ES commentary. VS commentary not good for early AM.
"He looked pretty good until he went over the side of that cliff." - thevaro
I turned off the ES commentary
it’s out of sync with the pictures, which is annoying, and I didn’t understand what they were talking about
Jens! Voigt puts the 'laughter' in 'manslaughter'
Had an interesting insight into Versus commentary from the "other side."
A friend of mine who doesn’t follow cycling but is watching the Tour this year for the hell of it said last night that the Versus guys assume watchers know a lot already, so they don’t explain things enough.
Dans le final, j'avais des jambes de feu--Sylvain Chavanel, after his win on Stage 7
I felt that way my first year.
But I had Sui to harass via email with all my questions. I was at about Al Trautwig level.
The problem I’ve had the last two years getting new people to watch has been the constant commercials more than the commentators.
I woke up at 1am and couldn't go back to sleep for 2 hours
I thought about just staying up, but I really needed to sleep. Just really waking up now….
man, the endurance needed
to be upright and keep pushing “z.” My elbow tingles; my shoulders hurt from having the laptop in front of the tv; the cafe by my house isn’t open for another hour yet. I need a PdC domestique.
i've started hitting z on all the websites i visit. never works.
i may spend too much time here.
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."

"The motor happens to be me." -Fabian
A true Flandrien...
“rides” from Het Volk til Lombardia. And then cross.
or a small trained monkey.
Just need something to tap the z and fetch drinks.
the U23's can be inconsistent. you need an older super domestique.

Indeed

"I was just trying to keep warm" - Ian Stannard on finishing third in KBK
Very interesting move by Sastre today
but I’m not sure if he can hang out front all day
"You know if there's any contact at all Cristiano Ronaldo's gonna go down...maybe even just a puff of wind"
I just tuned in
and the commentators talked it up like he was leading. Damn misinformation
"You know if there's any contact at all Cristiano Ronaldo's gonna go down...maybe even just a puff of wind"
I'd think they'd have
moto cameras with them. And those relay to planes, which I presume are flying above cloud cover.
I can still hear helicopters.
Am I hallucinating that?
And why has Lotto been pulling at the peloton?
we just laid them all off.
Besides, this is when the bad guys sleep.
Are you insinuating
that the Oakland PD is behind Lotto’s pacemaking effort? Scandalous!
"You know if there's any contact at all Cristiano Ronaldo's gonna go down...maybe even just a puff of wind"
they did have to deal with a sniper

Off Topic
Any chane the Lux team might have a beer/alcohol sponsor? At one time Lux had more per capita beer sales than any other Euro nation…or are there rules against? Would be great to see a Schleck handed a brew at the conclusion of a race ala race car drivers…
that would be a team i could support
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
apparently, some of the sales are to border crossers
don’t know if that was due to price or proximity. my wife is from Germany, right on the border of the Netherlands and Belgium, and her mom goes into NL to buy coffee (and flowers)

Why they first put the jersey then start to yellowrize themselves. Luckly for him he is not on a yellow bike.
Everybody knows yellow bikes are cursed. Well not Irish Peloton, he was climbing on one the other day.
