PrintThat's right! FIVE races on tap today!
So get out your portable computational units, silence your kids, give the dog a juicy bone, dim the lights, and tell the neighbors to take a vacation because you got some major race juggling to do. Let's set the stages:
- Denmark starts the day off with TWO stages. Old Skool. Morning RR (think I'm gonna be there for that one? Ha!) and the afternoon ITT. The GC will shake out with today's stage-though tomorrow does have those climbs up the Tourmalet, Zoncolan, and L'Angrilu in store. Okay, you got me. But today is a good one.
- Burgos has a fairly simple flattish stage. Three cat 3 climbs but they stop well before the finish. Klodo again? Pozzato with his Stashe?
- Portugal's got a hella climb with two more skanky hills about halfway through the stage but they look like they tap out at about the 120 km mark and the stage is 174 km's long so there's lots of time for the peloton to regroup. Am I the only one who wishes this race had a higher profile?
- Poland has its last stage today and there's still some GC suspense left. Greg Bola is still threatening Dan Martin and with bonus seconds at the intermediate sprints and finish line of a flat stage and with Bola being a sprinter and Martin decidedly not, thinks could get dicey for Vaughters' boy. He might regret not dropping Bole yesterday.
- That leave the Citta di Camaiore, a hot little Tuscan number (near Pisa) that's also a cat 6 VDS one day race. As you can see by the startlist, we are talking about Italians galore. (And between this race and Burgos, practically any Italian racer who's anybody is racing today.) Who tends to win this race? A climber who can finish: what a surprise in Italy! Last year Vinny Nibali won by nine seconds over Leo Bert and 30 others. The year before Leo Bert won by 17 seconds over nine others. You get the idea. The main obstacle is the scuzzy Monte Pitoro which climbybike has a profile of here. Yikes! The peloton does that thing six times, the last cresting about 13 km before the finish line, thus making for a frantic attempt at a regrouping at the end. Here's the full course profile.
Now for links, which umwolverine is gently taking me by the hand to do right:
Cyclingfans. Steephill.tv. The new BVLS link. (Scroll down till you get to cycling.) My2p2. from SPORT. And WorldliveTV. No doubt the Lady of the Links will have links to the race tickers too. Check the early comments for more info. Thanks um! If I could give you 1000 VDS points I would.
Speaking of VDS, we have 1050 points up for grabs today, 735 of them from Poland.

Ligthart actually, but yes it means light heart
I mainly know him as a trackie. He is stagiair at Vacansoleil since 1 Aug.

In Poland, they had their Auschwitz commemoration ceremony at the start of yesterday's stage
and had one rider from each country present lay a white rose by the barbed wire fence. A great tribute except they forgot a rider from the U.S….oops.
Tommeke!, Tommeke!, Tommeke!, Tommeke!
Yet another way Bubble Boy was dissed... they must read PdC..

Morning! Had a lie in and missed all of the first race!
And oh gosh, I’m all discombobulated…I had a VERY vivid dream that I was pregnant, and Tom Boonen was the father. Not sure I’ll recover all day!
Nice marmotte
I don't think we ever got past the stage of trying to decide how to tell his girlfriend.
But of course he was madly in love with me, and was going to leave her for me. He was very loving towards me, certainly :)
Nice marmotte
oh-kay. the important part is that you haven't missed burgos. AND samu resigned with euskie for 2 years.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
So did you dream about the conception?
If not, I think you were ripped off…
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
Or the fights in the chipshop when you were out walking the baby
“Leave him alone Tom, he’s not worth it”
I was going to go there... but I couldn't think of how to put it this nicely...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Not to be unromantic, but if he cheats on one girlfriend...
Just get the DNA test and maintenance agreement in hand, then enjoy it while it lasts.
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
How lovely!
Grass and dirt getting into the most inconvenient places. Prickles and thorns and whatnot. Rocks… small, sharp, painful ones – not necessarily the interesting-to-look-at type….
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
Maybe they had a Snuggie.
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
This just isn't getting any better... perhaps Albertina's immaculate conception was better...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Maybe. I hope it was not irreparably damaged.
I am not unromantic, honestly! I am just very practical about these matters. Heh, this is why I ended up hacking off my once-quite-long hair – I didn’t mind the effort involved in washing it etc, but I did mind the terrible inconvenience when it came to certain important activities…
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
Lol... head bands are so unromantic ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
... except when worn by Sergio Ramos, of course
Headbands? No… hair that long needs to be plaited, to avoid annoyance and horror knots from hell. And while I could certainly plait the damned thing lightning-quick, who wants to be doing that at such a time? Besides, it got to the point where the sight of me plaiting my hair was taken to be …suggestive, LOL. (“No, love, I’m getting ready for WORK!”)
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
Look, if either Albertina or Tom had been practical
the conception wouldn’t have occurred.
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
i think Albertina was getting clucky..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
... or perhaps being very practical indeed, LOL.
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
It was a whirlwind of passion...practicality goes out the window in such circumstances.
Nice marmotte
Oh, my.
Add our Albertina to the list of people who should have a standing appointment for Sunday morning penicillin shots.
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
My eyes are rolling back in my head

oh, dear, albertina. no boonen in the vuelta. world's unlikely
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Haha, the baby wasn't actually born in the dream. I think we'd only just realised it was there ;)
But yes, it will be nice to have him around.
Seriously though, bah. I saw this earlier and choose not to dwell on it. Bah bah bah.
Nice marmotte
I meant he was staying around next month instead of riding the Vuelta because
the baby will be born then.
BURGOS: after 41km, a 5-man break has a gap of 2.50
Piemontesi (Androni), Hulmans (Quick Step), Langeveld (Rabobank), Piedra (Andalucía-CajaSur) e Ilundain (Orbea)
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
gap 3.30 after 50km
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Go Langeveld!
He’s been quiet lately; good to see him in the break.
Fabian Cancellara walks into a bar. "I'd like Tom Boonen on the rocks...make it a double."
after 80km, gap is 3.07. a tad warm on the plains today, 34 degrees. geez.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
not really. as you can see, the final cat 3 climb summits 20km from the finish. pity.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Evening, dear ones!
So… a five race live thread, then. Ooookaaaay. I note that something similar happened yesterday. Tell me, just how chaotic does it get in here, when the races start to overlap? Or are there buggerall live moving picture feeds, hence not an issue?
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
not too confusing, since the info for each stage is to be preferenced with what race you're talking about (see post above you).
check out the past days threads (since wednesday) to see.
danmark doesn’t have any streams. burgos, poland, portugal do. the finishes of the stages usually don’t overlap.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
hmmm, looks like rai sport 1 will be showing the two italian races today
Gran Premio Camaiore at 16.50 local
Gran Premio Carnevale at 17.40 local
(currently, it’s 13.56 local)
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
There is a (currently) excellent VLC stream for rai sport 1
Available form this web page
(Also a link to Vuelta Colombia – in case you cant have enough racing today)
i really need to figure out how to record with vlc
(now, if only vlc wouldn’t chew up so much of my bandwidth)
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
The only reliable way I've found of getting it to work
is to have two instances of VLC running, one recording and the other playing the file you are recording. Any other combination just doesn’t work.
That's just it...
… I’ve been a bit frightened to visit the previous multi-race-live-theads!
OK, I shall have faith. I will put my trust in you and place myself in your capable hands (Seahorse tells me that you’re the HBIC ;-) …)
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
I was sorry I missed the one the other day with all the music discussion
but I really can’t bring myself to stay up to 2am every day unless I have very good reason too…
Umwolverine runs the show... she makes order out of chaos...
Personally, the only thing I follow is Poland, because I can’t keep up..

uci mountain biking is now on. links for streaming can be found at the myp2p and fromsport in the thread intro

PORTUGAL: after 29km, the peloton is still together. numerous escape attempts. to no avail.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
No idea, sorry
That wasn’t terribly helpful, was it? I just felt that I had to respond… let you know that someone listened and cared.
Think I might be heading to bed very soon… it’s just too friggin’ cold – and my doonah, book and hot water bottle are singing siren songs…
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
Um, what the hell is a doonah??
And I see you’ve changed your tagline. David is now the enemy again? ;)

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yes, the season starts in a couple of weeks ;-)
… oh, there is the match against Mexico on Wednesday, I suppose… but I really don’t think that it counts (let’s face it, La Furia Roja are going to the Azteca to get their arses whipped. Should still be a great match to watch – I’ll be up early in the morning for the spectacle!)
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
Wednesday? Excellent. I shall look out for that one.
When do your lot play Athletic Bilbao for the first time this season? Ok, ok, I know, the Basques boys stand little chance, but they play with pride ;-)
Nice marmotte
We entertain them at the Bernabéu on 21st November
… then 10th April at their place
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
What if Xabi wins for you? :-)
Oh, and Albertina you’ll be pleased to know that I get it now… with Xabi, that is. It was a starting revelation… I’m not sure why it took me so long to see the light. Heh, possibly because Sergio is so goddamned blinding, he tends to eclipse all else…
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
I have a love-hate relationship with Xabi.
I wish him all the success in the world, APART from when he’s playing Athletic!
Nice marmotte
Hmmm... so why no love for Real Sociedad?
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
Oh, apparently Bilbao play Wolverhampton today
I admit that I’m slightly more excited about Villarreal – Beşiktaş tomorrow… although I’ll probably cry when I see my beloved Guti take to the pitch in the Wrong shirt :-(
¡Así, así, así gana el Madrid!
A Basque twitterer informs me it's 1-1 at half time.
This will not do boys, get your act together!
Nice marmotte
So Denmark has the TT this afternoon? Is that the story?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Thanks... I must have been daydreaming... Porte for the win :)

Burgos:
The advantage had lowered until 2:52, although the last reference is of 3:24.
The five escaped are: Piemontesi (Androni), Hulmans (Quick Step), Langeveld (Rabobank), Stone (Andalusia-CajaSur) and Ilundain (Orbea),
The passage by the stop of Sancuerno (km 84) has been:
1. Stone: 2. Langeveld; 3. Piemontesi; 4. Hulsmans; 5. Ilundain.
With all these races going on, I haven't won a point... lol

# 221 Marek Rutkiewicz (POL) won the sprint in special Krościenko
I don’t think there’s another intermediate sprint?
If not, what this means is that Bole needs to win the stage and have Martin not place in the top three to win the overall.
At present there’s a 20 second split in the peloton and it doesn’t look like either Bole or Martin (or Mollema) are in the split. Of course its a long way to go and the split may evaporate. Here’s the riders in the front, several of whom could threaten Martin’s lead if this split gets bigger:
Today [15:19] advantage of twenty seconds, in group # 1 Allessandro Ballan (BMC), # 21 Daniele Bennati (Liq) # 24 PATERSKI Maciej (Liq) # 27 Sylvester Szmyd (Liq) # 41 ALBASINI Michael (THR) # 48 VELITS Peter (THR) # 56 STAMSNIJDE R Volume (RAB) # 66 Vedel Kvist Thomas (QST), # 76 PETERSON Tom (GRM) # 71 Danielson Tom (GRM) # 83 HOST Leif (OLO) # 95 KLOSTERGAA RD LARSEN Kasper (SAX) # 126 STANNARD Ian (SKY) # 146 Martin PEDERSEN (FOT) # 164 MACHADO Tiago (RSH) # 178 ZEITS Andrey (AST) # 183 Vasily Kiriyenko (GCE) # 184 Pablo Lastras Garcia (GCE) # 186 MADRAZO Angelo Ruiz (GCE) # 221 Rutkiewicz Marek (POL) # 222 MORAJKO Jacek (POL)
Keeping the fingers crossed for Martin. Would be nice to see the kid teach Roche that winning actually matters.

Bunch is back together.
Today [15:23] all the time the peloton, which is a pity, because it was fun.
True that, oh most confusing ticker ever.
I don't know, but "it was an accident".
I’m still trying to figure out what this one means from earlier this week:
11:40 advantage and therefore migrate into gray mustache. Fortunately, no one picked up. With the handing mustache wait for dinner. It seems that the buffet food was so good that now I do not want anyone to chase.
Also, for everyone who thinks Jens! is a beast. Yesterday Vacan’s Michael Golas spent the day in the break, and that after the ticker said this a few days earlier:
Today [14:19] Pecha also had Michael Golas (Vacansoleil), battered in the first kraksie before entry to Warsaw. Cyclist broke the wheel and broke his leg hard.
Now that’s tough, going on the attack after breaking your leg hard.
My pet theory is that Google Translate isn't automated at all.
It’s inhabited by magical, multi-lingual gnomes who translate everything live. And sometimes, they’re completely and utterly drunk.

Hidely ho!
I’m off to Middelfart [ insert snicker here] for this evening’s TT after a brief pitstop. Porte, Tuft, Fooglsschlang is my podium-bet with the dane getting the leaders jersey.
There’s a fanshot with images from this mornings crash which was the most embarrassing rascal moment since George Costanza.
so, when exactly does the TT start then?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
How's that for a prediction, huh?
So some hundreds of a second swapped places between Tuft and Porte but whatevah.
No, just a CQ tweet with the top three.
Their website was made by a five year old, though.
http://www.gpcamaiore.it/
Yeah, that website is ridiculous
CQ only has the top three also. Just have to wait…. At least I picked up a few points.

Looks like Ballan is serious today:
Today [16:02] Kontra the peloton # 1 Allessandro Ballan (BMC), # 166 EQUAL Ivan (RSH) # 194 HOOGERLAND Johnny (VAC) # 196 Marco Marcato (VAC)
20s advantage
Ivan Rovny is 166
16:06 – 54 km/110 to go: 1st KOM in Stara Wies: 1. Morajko, 2. Curvers, 3. Madrazo, 4.Marcato
First three still about 5 minutes ahead, chasing bunch now got 30 seconds on the peloton
The entire Vacansoleil team seem to have gone all in for Tour of Poland
Not that they make much of a difference in the end anyway.

Seeing as it's the only race they get to participate in..
… it’s understandable that they’re a bit gung-ho.
Um...did you say poland was starting early on the feed today... or is that my imagination?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
no. well, i had it confused with portugal. so, same start as always, 17.30 local
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
All change in the news from Poland
16:10 – In the front we still have 3 rider: Morajko, Curvers and Madrazo. Then with the gap 4:40 chasing group with 7 riders: Ballan, Maciej Paterski, Dario Cataldo, Ivan Rovny, Hoogerland and Marcato and Santambrogio. The advantage over the bunch of leading group is 9 minutes
Do we know how far they have to go?
Sounds like a serious gap down to the bunch.

quite a ways. live coverage doesn't even start for another 1.5 hours
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Ticker apologises
16:19 – We get clear right now. The chasing group is in the bunch. And the advantage of leading is not 9 minutes but only 3 minutes
Ah, there you go
Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger...
by TheFigurehead on Aug 7, 2010 10:25 AM EDT up reply actions
They reiterate
16:22 – So in the front of the race only Morajko, Curvers and Madrazo. No chasing group behind them, only the bunch. The advantage is 3 minutes
And despite the fact that nothing is happening, the commentators sound ecstatically excited
Nice marmotte

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
top two columns. 1st column is intermediate. 2nd column is final
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
the bottom two columns are last riders thru intermediate (left) and finish (right)

Enrico Zen... just blew the field away... 3 minutes better than McCartney =0

ya want to read that again

jmac in at 24.20. zen in at 26.14.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
It was there...no doubt they realised their mistake...looked too good to be true.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
better yet. just ignore the bottom two columns

whoa. alex rasmussen was dq'ed from danmark due to missing a lap
http://www.postdanmarkrundt.dk/index.php?p=nyheder/profil.php&nyhed=103

All riders during the beginning of the race this year received extra impressed that all the laps in the final round lines should be run.
original:
Løbets jury har gransket resultaterne fra fredagens etape til Vejle, og har fundet frem til at Rasmussen manglede at køre en omgang på den afsluttende rundstrækning indeholdende blandt andet Kiddesvej-stigningen. Alle ryttere i løbet har fra starten af løbet i år fået ekstra indskærpet at alle omgange på de afsluttende rundstrækninger skal køres.

Incredible
Rasmussen was an outsider for the TT
He should have raced in Poland instead.
Since all the riders in the autobus yesterday didn’t have to finish that last lap.

Says he tried to ride one more lap
After he had returned to the bus, and found out about the missing lap. But the road was already closed. Talked to the race director Jesper Worre and got impression that it was alright anyway.

And Worre says
that he gave Rasmussen an OK to continue the race. But other rides had at that point complained and the race jury were looking at the issue.

damn. this is the 7th stage already. we've missed most of the fun.

okay, half the fun (goes thru to the 15th)

okay then. something else to keep up occupied thru next sunday

Fuglsang and Tuft
will have to rider well to take the lead here I think
You mean in GC? Is any of these guys up there?
by blackswangreen on Aug 7, 2010 1:33 PM EDT up reply actions
My question was not that smart, sorry.
Of course these guys aren’t up there on GC, otherwise they wouldn’t be riding now.

Porte increased lead to Westra by 5 secs
23.20
Tough to beat I think.
i hope you're right..

CyclingNews is listing this as the top 10 in Poland
1 Daniel Martin (Irl) Garmin – Transitions 30:38:48
2 Grega Bole (Slo) Lampre-Farnese Vini 0:00:08
3 Bauke Mollema (Ned) Rabobank 0:00:10
4 Michael Albasini (Swi) Team HTC – Columbia 0:00:20
5 Alessandro Ballan (Ita) BMC Racing Team 0:00:21
6 Sylvester Szmyd (Pol) Liquigas-Doimo 0:00:26
7 Marek Rutkiewicz (Pol) Poland BGZ 0:00:30
8 Diego Ulissi (Ita) Lampre-Farnese Vini
9 Thomas Danielson (USA) Garmin – Transitions 0:00:33
10 Tiago Machado (Por) Team Radioshack 0:00:41
I think they must be wrong
Danielson getting VDS points is a clear indication of error.
It looks like
Danielson and Machado were in 10th and 11th going in to stage 7. Mauro Santambrogio finished well back today dropping out of the top 10 and allowing the two listed above to move up.
http://www.tourdepologne.pl/images/stories/7th-stage.pdf says
1 MARTIN Daniel
2 BOLE Grega
3 MOLLEMA Bauke
4 ALBASINI Michael
5 BALLAN Alessandro
6 SZMYD Sylwester
7 RUTKIEWICZ Marek
8 DANIELSON Thomas
9 MACHADO Tiago
10 LAGUTIN Sergey
Ceci n'est pas une signature.
Ulissi was penalized
for not hitting the required number of photographers during the race.
Right,
looks like Martin, Szmyd, Rutkiewitz, Bazayev, Bole, Lagutin finished at the s.t. as Greipel on today’s stage, the rest were +20 (possibly more)
That 20s mark next to Ulissi is a penalty
I do not know what it is for.
According to the UCI
This is the correct list. Ulissi was penalized 20 seconds during stage 7 which dropped him to 11th overall.
Santambrogio wins the prize for worst VDS tease...
0 points this season… then 4th by inches on two stages in a row, just out of the points… then drops out of the GC top 10 on a sprint stage.
Cazzo, it's going to be a bloodbath! The Mortirolo is a horror, absolutely interminable. -- Michele Scarponi
Denmark: Roulston 25 secs behind Porte at first check
Porte could have won this race
if he had avoided cleaning the road with his own body in an earlier stage.
He has plenty of time... I'm hoping he gets to ride the Vuelta, although I realise that's unlikely
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Agree to both
Porte reminds me of a younger Contador. There you go. Big, loud and potentially idiotic statement, but hey.
I have put that in the vault to be unearthed in four years
You will either be hailed as a genius or taken out back behind the woodshed
"Thanks again, Floyd Landis, Yellow Jersey Wearer: Nuisance Category"
That's a lovely thing to say... but step away from the Kool Aid now :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
If Contador is big
then everyone else is a fat ass. Unless you mean tall. But lets not get crazy here, Porte is a completely different type of rider.

Fuglsang will have to dig really deep to win the stage
but he is very likely to ride in yellow after today.
I really hope the win today is Porte's though..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Tuft digged really deep
same time as porte at the line
What happens then? Do they share the podium if they have the winning time?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
If Tuft took time on Porte on last part
perhaps Fuglsang can as well. Time will tell.
He came in at 23:24
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Denmark: Current standing at the line
Denmark:
First intermediate:
Plac. Rytter Tid

32 57 Joost Van Leijen 12’19"

What do you think they'll do about the tied first place?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
usually goes by stage placements, and/or 100s of seconds
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
The real timing is down to hundreds of a second
There’s probably no tied first place.

They'll probably have the time to 1/1000 of a second
Probably only looks like a tie rounded up.

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping it goes in Porte's favour then..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yes, i worked that out. Oh well..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
