TDF STAGE 17 - DISCUSSION - SPOILER ALERT! (Page 2)

Hey guys,
What'd I miss?
Versus says there's a huge breakaway and Thor is out in-front of the breakaway.  Am I reading that wrong? Thor, in front on a mountain stage and Cuddles off the back???

woah, that was close.

Thought Hushovd was going down, nice bike handling.

Man, When the peloton hits, those guys are going to be all-over the place.

He's alright.  Just a flesh-wound...

The peloton is taking it easy on the descent...

Where's Cat?  thought she'd be all-over the fact that her man Thor is in the lead...

Menchov shoulda worn Motorcycle leathers for this race.

Ouch, menchov down again.

Menchov must love asphalt!!

didn't commit to it.  Menchov gets a 4.5. 

Is it alright to joke about Jens yet now that he's alright?

I'll wait for his other crashes before scoring..... Oh, there'll be others 

If Jens face slide is a 10, menchov gets a 7

Jens' spill will be hard to beat. Glad he is okay.....

BTW there is a thread on Slowtwitch right now that Gerard Vroomen said he would forward to Jens, so if you want to wish him well, post there.

Menchov now going off-course! 

I like the green stripe on Thor's shorts.  That looks better than the all-green or the Pellizotti Polka-dot/green shorts combo.  Just my $.02

Quite the fashonista aren't we?

He can try all he wants, but he'll never be as ugly as me.

How's that?

No, I was going to say that I think his crash was #1 on all-time faceplants.  hurts just thinking about it.

Does Sastre really know when he needs some lube on his chain?

Lube on the chain! I was thinking the same thing! That was an interesting mechanical...

No, I just think it's pretty cheesy when the guys wear all-green or all-polka dots or all yellow.  I like to see it when they keep their team-affiliation.  Like when Lance used to do the normal helmet and shorts with the yellow jersey.  I think he was the last one to not go all-yellow.  Then again, I think he was one of the first to go all-yellow too.
