Im here! Have I mentioned I LOVE TTs!!!!



Good morning/afternoon/evening

Still trying to get my video to come up.

Come on video!!!!



While I wait for my video too, CAT, can you give us your take on the Contador thing?

I watched last night and maybe I missed it, but I never saw him turn and ask Klodden if he was ready or able to go.  It just looked like good old Bertie taking all the glory for himself and screwing his teammates. 

I also thought Lance looked like he was really doing his part to keep Wiggo back, even chasing him down, passing, and then slowing him down (which I think is just mean on a Cat 1 climb).  What say Cat?

What do I think of the whole thing?

I think Contador isnt great strategically..

I think Lance is great strategically...

I think I would like Kloden to get the chance to ride as team leader on his own team...

Ummm.... I think Astana sweeping the podium is a realistic outcome but it shouldnt be THE focus for the team...

I hope they dont!

 

Contador did the right thing as a yellow jersey contender....

Kloden didnt have it....

Lance did the right thing strategically as the support for the yellow jersey...

 



Respect the Cat...

Video lagged.  I've got a 10-1030 meeting so I should get back just in-time for WIGGO!!!

dlaxman, I don't know if Lance did that before.  I know his Bontrager set has the big yellow ball on one side that if you follow as he's riding, you want to make a donation to Livestrong...
Think about it though, Frenchmen could have the Arch de Triumph (I know I misspelled that) and the English could have a cup of tea...heh heh.  We could have a dollar-sign...

I don't know how much they spent on it, but my folks bought a DVD Recorder when I was in Iraq.  They'd DVR things I wanted to see and then record them on the DVDR and send me the disks.  I think they spent ~80.  If you figure you're probably going to record more than just the TDF, you could get some good use out of it.  I may be a little late with this advice, but if you get one now, I'm sure Versus will do a re-run of the best stages or something next month and through August.

Ive got most of the stages on DVR I think... but its my flatmates system so he deletes stuff on me...

So... Im not hopeful

Do P&P know that there's a difference between Slovenia and Slovakia?  They just said one and then the other.  Austria's kinda in-between the two.

Hi All,

#11 on the road. Won't give it his all. Can't see Cadel, yes I'm calling him his real name now, poor little fella, doing anything up Mt Ventoux, so tomorrow's his only chance to get some street cred back.

Rain, when's Menchov off? Think he'll stay upright.

Then talk I will do.  I think Lance and Kloden are pizzed at Bertie and will leave him to get up Ventoux all by his lonesome.

Welcome Mah-tin!
Menchov already went through.  I think... Maybe not.  I don't think he'll crash unless it starts raining right as he starts riding.  Which is likely.

That's the way to motivate an Aussie...Hit him with an inflatable Kangaroo!!!

Kangaroo by the way means "What are you talking about?" in Aborigine.  So I'm told.

just looked at the finishers. He's back. Looking at that big rain cloud it's a good job he's had a $h1t tour.
