Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() This should be a very exciting stage. 4 riders within 38 seconds of each other vying for a podium spot and LA less than a minute behind Andy Schleck. Hopefully we will see a number of strong performances. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() They're saying that it's very, very windy on Mt. Ventoux today. Wonder if the fans lining the road offer some protection? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wonder how close that fire is to the route. Got the plane out to dump water on it. |

Well, I was right about a big breakaway by the time my TV coverage came on. Rabobank spoilt it all. So how did you know Cav could get over that Cat 2 climb like that?4everblue - 2009-07-25 10:43 PM kaqphin - 2009-07-25 1:40 PM Hi Gorgeous. I started with about 85km to go.

I had a feeling that given the sprinters hadnt been able to do much for a few days that the finish looked ok for a showdown after the climb.... And given everything that had happened, and with the not getting Green... that if it was a showdown Cav would be trying everything to get there....

(wink wink) Hey everyone. I had a great workout this morning. I'm Mr. Mom for the rest of the day. I'm just getting caught-up. At 80km to go right now. I predict 2 people will die on the ventoux... Hate to be a purveyor of doom, but it's gonna happen... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Got this message from my mate. Jerry did his Ventoux challenge, 140km with 4800mtrs ascent, said it was "horrible" and really hard, and that's for a 67kg Whippet. Our friend Jerry went up Mt Ventoux from all three ascents in one day. Seems there's a select club for those that's done it. Don't think I'll be joining them. |

Is there any way for Cav to get green in Paris? I mean a legitimate reason? Thor has to finish like 20 or higher right? |

If I don't average over 20, I'm slacking. You've got hills to contend with. Got a 40 miler tomorrow. That's the standard Sunday ride. |
