PrintITS STAGE RACEAGEDDON!!!!!!! Can Matti Goss hold off Alessandro Ballan, Zeke Mosquera, AND Patrick Sinkewitz?
Check BVLS, Cycling Fans and Steephill.TV for links to at least three of those races (not sure about video for Denmark) and no doubt folks will put ticker links in the comments.

At least this means we don't have to keep clicking back and forth.
It’ll keep me awake at any rate. Club foot is not all that thrilling to be honest.

Maybe is it the shoes to blame, the one you bought before going to Paris?

From the Denmark ticker:
Weather in Holstebro has been extremely rainy, but now it is cleared up. In return, it is also blown up, so riders are running probably a bit and wonder if someone will try to blow up the box in hand, wind is already here in the first stage.
I wanna see the marabou jersey.
[12:50] A total of 120 riders from 15 different teams are to start in this year’s Tour of Post Denmark. They must compete on four different jerseys:
- Post Danmark’s yellow jersey
- Marabou Polka points jersey
- NemID hill jersey
- Toyota’s youth jersey
ooh, peppermint swirls
i still missing the fishies point jersey from the vuelta

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Just take it one race at a time.
Me, I’m ignoring the other races until Denmark is over for the day.
Right... so we're on Denmark now? Is that correct?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Denmark is more my speed tonight... where is Goss racing?

yes. denmark first.
burgos 2nd (stage ends around 17.15)
portugal 3rd (prologue ends at 18.45)

okay then?

Sounds good.
I do like that they’ve staggered the finish times for us. Let’s hope all the pelotons cooperate.
would be nice

O/T: Vino on replacing Bert:
We’re thinking about [Denis] Menchov, [Roman] Kreuziger and why not the Schleck brothers. I don’t think their deal is signed yet.
I have a sneaking suspiscion the Schleck deal won't come through in 2011 as well
How funny would it be if Frank went to Radioshack and Andy to Astana for one year until their team was setup.
"Thanks again, Floyd Landis, Yellow Jersey Wearer: Nuisance Category"
Is there a particular reason for your scepticism? Things are moving very fast...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
The UCI. The paperwork.
I don’t think they’ll have a problem attraction riders, but I think they will have an issue getting everything done from the UCI’s perspective by the cutoff. I remember last year a couple existing pro tour teams almost didn’t get licenses due to paperwork snafus.

It will be interesting to see how things move forward...

The best rumor I heard in the last 2 days!
Did I tell you that I am big fan of the Schlecks? Lately.

Larrikin!

Denmark: Break has 6 minutes.
Kristian Sobota has been trying to bridge to them for ages, but apparently still hasn’t made it. Saxo controlling the peloton.
Burgos: breakaway has 2.40 after 10km of racing
Manuel Calvente (Andalusia CajaSur)

Do not read too fast, because Mikel Ilundain can become Miguel Indurain.

Denmark: result of the first Marabou Polka bonus sprint:
1. Manuel Belletti (Colnago-CSF)
2. Michael Reihs (Designa Køkken-Blue Water)
3. Jacob Nielsen (Glud & Marstrand-LRØ Rådgivning)

Marabou Tango would be more appropriate. Polkas are more suited to—I don’t know, what are those jaunty feathers you stick in your cap?

Tour of Poland.
Talk with Lagutin’s mother in law. She said that he was involved in the 1 stage’s crush.
He is riding with pretty busted knee, right now. Just soldering it on.

Tour of Poland.
Today the bunch will face a few climbs, which may shake the GC a bit. Intermediate sprints at 18, 131 and 156 km. We also have three climbs I cat. at 92, 105 and 122 kilometer o the stage.
That GS needs some shaking up, for sure!
Right now it only 14 sec between 1 and 164 places.

Today [14:24] Surprise awaits the winner of the first mountain Koniakow premium. The winner will receive the honorary title highlander, highlander highlander shirt and picture. You may also get to finish the highland tea?
I hope the highlander highlander shirt includes a cape.

After a perusal of riders at the Tour of Denmark, I've decided that Richie Porte is the man of the hour..
or Renshaw ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Too bad... go richie and spoil that party!
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Party won't be spoiled if they're on the same team, right?
I hear the team leader is the one wearing the man scarf.
I'm sure even Frinkles has a man scarf...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
So did I... but we haven't heard from him... he might be on the fainting couch...

Fulsgang's (sp) accessory when Albertina saw him at the after party....
I meant it when I said I think European men wear them with flair…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Well, just a scarf worn by a man for the sake of fashion rather than warmth
Sadly I didn’t take a photo of Jakob is his, but it was fairly small and tied at his neck. There is a picture of him in a similar one on Facebook but it would probably be naughty to use it here…
Nice marmotte
Thanks.
It does seem odd for anyone to wear a scarf in July, but where I’m from they’re functional first.
I'm no Tom Danielson. He's a great guy, but I think there are people that can handle pressure, and people that can't.--Taylor Phinney
He did look very suave but I'm sure he must have been hot.

But for what it's worth, this is as good as the kid and I can come up with:
How to build a look scarf by scarf by scarf: begin with a cotton scarf by Guildhall Imports, about $15. Add a shirt by Roland, about $25, a silk scarf by Charles Jourdan, about $40, and another scarf by George Grahanm, about $10. They’re teamed with a cotton wheat (?) suit by Van C—- for Engle—- B——, about $239
(Names and numbers are especially fuzzy.)
There. Now you won’t be a scarf law scofflaw.
I'm no Tom Danielson. He's a great guy, but I think there are people that can handle pressure, and people that can't.--Taylor Phinney
Excellent!
I especially like “How to build a look scarf by scarf by scarf: begin with a cotton scarf.” The suit is Van Gils.

"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."
he got the mountains jersey at the ToM a couple years ago
maybe that says something about how mountains jersey are handed out, but i’m not complaining.

that profile makes it look like they're going up everest
but it’s more like 600 meters high.

Also, nice of SKY to lead out everyone else again. They just give and give and give.

From Dom's fb update yesterday
Impressive work today by my teammates to get me the KOM jersey. The efforts were well paid for with a plush twice my size and a new computer, oh and a nice pink jersey, luckely they had size L in stock :P Ended up in great company on the podium plus Bettini making an appearance. Now on to defend that pink jersey

1st climb:

2. #194 HOOGERLAND Johnny (VAC) 7
3. #75 MEYER Cameron (GRM) 5
4. #175 GOUROW Maksim (AST) 3

"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."
as of the start of the stage:
1 Dominique Rollin (Can) Cervelo Test Team 5 pts
2 Marcin Sapa (Pol) Lampre-Farnese Vini 3
3 Lukasz Bodnar (Pol) Poland BGZ 3
4 Bartlomiej Matysiak (Pol) Poland BGZ 2
5 Danilo Napolitano (Ita) Team Katusha 2
6 Mirco Lorenzetto (Ita) Lampre-Farnese Vini 1

"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."
so as of now it looks like
Dom = 20pts
Hoogerland = 17
Meyer = 12
if meyer gets this next one, and Dom holds off the peloton, he would stay in the jersey.
let’s make that happen.

Pretty day of racing here in Denmark today. I’m proud of myself. Was up there protecting Tyler in the finishing circuits when he crashed with 5k to go. I took responsibility and was on Steggmens wheel with 1k to go when he crashed with 500meters to go. I had to stop and then went flat out to try not to loose time. Raced hard,smart and for the team the best I could 2day:)

"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."
