Fantini rider busted for doping overnight. good. glad they're catching them more often these days.
-3 degrees at the top of the mountain, looks to be about 4m of snow. glad i'm at home watching it rather than riding it.
fantini jersey is so great
adam hansen in the break monnnnnnnnn
hardman extraordinaire
cheating is alright if you've got some verve, i.e. pantani
armstrong, landis, frank schleck, hamilton zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
why are euskaltel chasing so hard? could be interesting.
break with 7 minutes
Attn bike lads:
So is Cadels 3rd in the Giro any sort of form guide for TDF?
for a bloke that has not had much racing, third is a strong showing in the giro. the fact that a couple of stages got binned, and he got a mechanical problem on tre cime didn't help him to hold on to second either. get a lobster on him, you'll get decent odds.
this years giro was tough, and evans looked alright at the end of it. nibali is in top form, and the parcours suited uran to a T. neither evans or uran got much help either, they did most of their work in the mountains alone.
wiggins is toast, froome is good i reckon people might have figured sky out. you've got to work super hard on them to break up their rhythm, you could see it in the giro, people trying to change the tempo as much as possible. if froome can roll with it and stay with the attacks he will be in with a shot. sky without rogers, in my opinion, won't be as dangerous. he and porte won the tour for wiggo last year.
qdoodle - you in newy for the long weekend? wanna ride the fernleigh track yeah?
i'll be in new york chief
pfft.
If he was any sort of mate he'd come home for the ride.
dude at work rides this in as his daily commute bike
yep, that back wheel is what it looks like
yep, bit of a wanker
bit?
had a guy that i used to work with who went semi-pro/pro for a year. wife supported him but didn't work out. but hell, good on him for chasing the dream. total douche though. was telling me one day how the rear wheel on his bike was worth $8,000 and was slightly asymmetrical to account for the torque coming through the pedal crank. the chain apparently twists the rear wheel slightly and the asymmetry pulls it into symmetry. you probably ride 0.000001% faster, but that probably counts when you are trying to go pro.
like the elliptical crankset you see on some timetrial bikes
wankset more like
does he do triathlons?
it's definitely a triathlon bike so I reckon he probably does - I'd ask him about it but.... you know....
it's got a new zipp front wheel on this morning
probably one of the blokes that hammers down every bike track in the world way too fast, slurping on some energy boosting gels while frantically dodging children and dogs with one hand on his aero bars, the other on his cawk
what's up with the duct tape on the seat post to hold the light on? totally not aero
