Pozzovivo is so tiny
he makes Colombian riders look beefy.

yeah, Universal guys had it wrong.

Betancourt with Gilbert
Not a fluke. (He’s on my team)

Does he have a contract for 2012?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Ha
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
WT points alone could get him a WT contract
"Oh man, it’s going to take days to kill all these people!"
Wonderful for him.

Yeah! Finally paid off...
Jens Voigt doesn’t know where you live, but he knows exactly where you will die.
Flippin heck, what a result! I can't imagine what he must be feeling right now!
It's pronounced "Int-CHOW-stie"
Anyone remember the Smzyd win
Where he got so nervous about winning he threw up
"Oh man, it’s going to take days to kill all these people!"
yes. and valverde pretty much came to a standstill up ventoux on the last curve

I think the throwing up was from the amazing effort.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
No, he admitted it after the fact
He was nervous
"Oh man, it’s going to take days to kill all these people!"
Because it sounded better ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'm not criticizing
It would scare the hell of me too. Especially in Zaugg’s case when it is a monument. Imagine, you spend your career slogging for others in relative anonymity… and then you find yourself the focus of millions of people
"Oh man, it’s going to take days to kill all these people!"
I agree...he was amazing that day no matter what.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
wonder how summie felt in the velodrome this year

He's regularly in the 10-20 range, everything from one day races to tours.
Occasionally in the 5-9 position on lumpy mountain stages with a couple-three long or steep bits. So happy for him, so sorry I missed seeing this.
"It is unfortunate that the Wall is not plugged in correctly."
so, move the race on the calendar, but keep this parcours?
