tridantri - 2009-07-05 12:09 AM Of the Schlecks, Andy seems to be in better and more consistant form this season.  I still think he will struggle to get onto the podium.

I just look art him and see little boy...I know everyone keeps saying he will win a grand tour and I can SEE that... if he gets his TT in order.... but... I need to start seeing him as a grown up

Sastre for a TT? Bold choice... even with half of it uphill..

Oh and I mentioned Schleck in one of the other threads... but Im not sure his TT skills are there yet...

 

Bold...or stupid. There's such a fine line between genius and stupidity. I knew you had mentioned Schleck, but I thought more people would jump on his bandwagon.  Sastre is strictly an emotional choice. He has about as much chance of winning as George Bush has of getting into MENSA, but I still like him (Sastre, not Bush).

There goes Lance. It's a little strange seeing him not be the last or near the last rider.

They're saying there are thunder storms on the way so it makes sense to go off early.

I see no problem with that.... Why not go with an emotional choice sometimes? I do it...

True... but then you would think the other contenders would do it too...

I remember last year I had to watch on Eurosport, and I would read on this thread what was happening a few minutes before Eurosport. I think they are on at least a 1 minute delay.

Armstrong is fastest at the intermediate checkpoint, although with the GC riders all to come that doesn't really mean much.

I'm here!  Still about 15 minutes behind because I had to start a little late. Watching Lance finish now.

I'd like to see Dave Z. win, but I don't know if that's going to happen.
