Good morning... where is umwolverine?... A stage race without her is wrong...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
No live tread on the front page?
I found this one via twitter!
LOL! It's been up about 10 minutes, but that is weird!
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
i haven't checked... I find it confusing, so I go through the Archives :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
On the front page there is only the pre-race tread
and there is no active link to the live tread in the pre-race tread, very confusing.

Poor Jens... one mistake in a year. We'll have to be kind :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
It's linked now.
Jens may have scheduled the live thread to appear, but someone still needs to go make the link live in the daily thread.

So what sort of coffee will we be serving?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I can offer Jet Fuel, Black Tiger, Wild Mountain Blueberry, French Roast Decaf,
Nantucket Blend, Dark Magic, Kona Extra Bold, and Cafe Mocha,

Bah, all these special mocha latte extra shot triple espresso stuff.
I’m a simple girl. I just want coffee :’(
With milk?
Okay, but I’ll shudder a little when I pour it. Like what someone once said about scotch and water: waste of two perfectly good beverages.
I really do not understand the truth.--Riccardo Ricco (per Google Translate)
Coffee milk, just a little bit.
It probably isn’t called coffee milk in English, come to think of it. Cream?
Don't have a special term for what (some) people put in coffee.
Could be milk, cream, half & half, non-dairy creamer.
I really do not understand the truth.--Riccardo Ricco (per Google Translate)
I can do that.
Still working my way through the K-cups that came with my Keurig…

Cobbles over mountains; and real cyclists are tall and strong as opposed to small and dainty?
Oh I like cobbles guys as well as Euskal mountain goats...
….but I’d have to teach him to appreciate the plusses of both!

There was that one where I was unenthusiastically making out with the Schlecklet

we call that flat white... my fave if the beans are good
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

I think that we have some of the very best baristas and tasters in the world here in Denmark, they win a lot of contest anyway, and their coffe is very expencive.

Yum! I love good coffee. Interestingly, I first fell in love with it in Japan :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I used to buy my beans here
http://www.coffeecollective.dk/about.htm
but it got too expencive, 10euro for 250 gram is a little too much when you can get good beans for one third of that price.
I thought that Japan was mostly for tea.

Wow... that looks like special occasion coffee...
Japan appropriate western food and beverage trends with enthusiasm. The best mexican food I’ve ever eaten was there, and also my favourite konditerei. Most sacreligious of all for an Australian – I think the japanese make the best barbecued food :)

I have Stefan Denifl in my fantasy team for just that reason.
I expect him to ride his way towards a new contract.
Don't think he's been feeling great so far though has he?
I’m pretty sure he’ll get something good…he’s talented.
Gora Euskaltel! Sorte on azenarioak!
No, that's been disappointing.
But I could only pick one rider per trade team, so I was a bit limited. And he’s got the skills to do something.
But to demonstrate the impossibility of cycling fantasy teams: last year Pigeons put together a Team Random (DS: R2D2) for this game and it beat everyone in our competition (30 people or so) by a huge margin, and finished in the top 10 of the entire game (about 6000 people). Knowledge doesn’t help!
I'm convinced the 'shutting your eyes and sticking a pin in a list of names' method is best!
He might yet do something. Seems like the heat has been partly to blame thus far.
Gora Euskaltel! Sorte on azenarioak!
R2D2 is currently 7th out of 45 still.
Though I suspect he’ll regret later on picking Gilbert as his prime GC leader.
PETACCHI, Alessandro (ITA)
STANNARD, Ian (GBR)
GILBERT, Philippe (BEL)
PLAZA MOLINA, Ruben (ESP)
TURPIN, Ludovic (FRA)
RODRIGUEZ OLIVER, Joaquim (ESP)
PAURIOL, Remi (FRA)
MILLAR, David (GBR)
You have Rodriguez....he's looking good at the mo!
And Plaza could do something
Gora Euskaltel! Sorte on azenarioak!
That's R2D2's team.
Though the riders are in categories (A for GC, B for super domestique, C for sprinter and TT, D for all the rest) and Rodriguez is inexplicably in D, so everyone has him.
Eichler can ride pretty much downhill the hole day,
until the last climb. Maybe not such a bad idea if he gets away early on with a few mins.
If that last descent is the same as last year,
It’ll be hard to follow him down. Linus Gerdemann looked like he might take that stage until he flatted.
Yeah, I remember--he was on my VDS team last year, too.
When will I learn?
I really do not understand the truth.--Riccardo Ricco (per Google Translate)
There'll be a new reason to sing him next year:
“He’s on a new, strong team, it’ll be a fresh start…”
Actually I can just about buy that myself.
A long distance solo win for Eichel
would hand him a good contract for sure.
Was he riding with Benat in that move?
Last year I knew even less about Euskaltel, so I might not have remembered.
Yes, they were together and they both flatted.
Benat was with Fuji then.
Gora Euskaltel! Sorte on azenarioak!
good morning folks
"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."
Eicher will not get a long distance solo win today as
he is now joined by two riders: Bichot and Estrada. Gap about 6min.
Gap is now 8min.
The continued downhill path until the last climb can put the breakaway in a very strong position. Can any of these attackers climb?

Anyone know what's wrong with Benna
He has been absent from the sprints, despite the fact that his team has been at the front in the finale trying to set it up for him. Did he just get slow all of a sudden or is he skittish from the lack of racing this year?
"Thanks again, Floyd Landis, Yellow Jersey Wearer: Nuisance Category"
I guess he's just a bit out of shape...I'm hoping (probably vainly) that his form may trickle back at some point.
Gora Euskaltel! Sorte on azenarioak!
When was the last time Benna was good?
Two years ago?

Majope, the white unicorn is back!
When did she appear? I thought she had to wait for the equinox or something.
The White Unicorn appears when Good Things happen
and goes away when my bad mood returns.

I had a bet with myself that I would switch to Whitey if Cav won at least 5 stages in the Tour
then I forgot about it until Jens taunted me about the unicorns one day.

Farrar win means it ended in a bunch sprint
and I think a lot of us (myself not included) are hoping for a less common, attacking finish.

he has won this year at Vuelta Ciclista a Burgos 2010 and has at least 6 podiums at other big races this year.

I don't think he's bad... but I haven't noticed him before.

a win here would cap off another successful year
If I wanted to get shit small wins, I'd race shit small races (Cavendish on Greipel)
He's not been as good this year...he had a nasty infection which knocked him back a long way.
But a first GT stage win would be awesomely nice :)

Bunch sprints remind me
Of the time I lost my virginity. A whole lot of buildup and anticipation and a climax that lasted all of a fraction of a second, followed by mass disappointment among the participants, who went their separate ways immediately after it was over to sob in their own quarters.

Finish is on the Avenida de Miguel Induráin
which made the route description very hard to understand because the connecting loop and bridge in the last few kilometres are probably new and not mapped yet in GMaps.

Gap to the breakaway dropping fast
According to the spanish-language ticker, Cofidis started working at the front 44 kilometers into the race and the breakway’s advantage dropped from 9:07 to 5:40 in 9 kilometers (is this really possible?). Supposedly they’re working to set up Moncoutie for the climb and mountains jersey.
Or, to quote Babel Fish:
Kilometer 50. The work of Cofidis provides effect and the low rent to 7 minutes. It will be that Moncoutie has between eyebrow and eyebrow the today stage, or the mountain? The port is of 2ª category…
Ah, the glory of literal translation! Monobrows can never have anything in mind, I guess.

i'm trying to decide
between 5 guys and zaxby’s.
"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."
No Zaxby's here.
5 Guys doesn’t sound bad, though. Or maybe I’ll try another new-ish Chinese place, but after 11 years of hoping to find good Chinese in Indy I’ve about given up hope.

Thanks for the tip--I'll look for one next time I'm traveling.

dramatization or documentary about Deep Horizon?
saw a trailer last night, while at the gym
(at least that’s what I hope)
CNN says it was not an active well
1 person missing though…
He's all custom carbon fiber, EPO and the Olsen twins. I'm more Surly Crosscheck, pot and the girl working the morning shift at the Circle K.

Maybe he's not out of shape after all :)
Now he’s got a couple of race days, maybe that is all he needed.
It's a leftover from an attempt to use the Z key to get new comments

Interesting results...boring stage, but good finish.
Karpets was good today

It would be nicer if he scored a few VDS points, though....
Dat was echt een schwalbe!
He may be moving towards the hardman domestique role... transition time..

Bennati needs more of these
to get his sharpness back.
What kind of post race interview was that?
“Thor, are you going to save yourself for the mountain stages?”
Like he’s going for the GC :)
Then again, maybe he knows something we don't..
After all, Thor climbs better than Le Mevel at the moment… Maybe he will be Garmin’s GC man next year. Who knows? :)
Well this one he deserved a lot more than the one to Arenberg.
