Astana Team Thread (Page 3)

Great job on the race, and one of the most descriptive race reports I have ever read

 Z-dog I watched the Tour the other night when the Peleton passed the break-away in the last 100 yards or so. That was amazing. It's hard to imagine that they are able to time things that perfectly. I really thought the breakaway was going to win the stage. Talk about an exciting finish!

Sorry folks, left home straight after my race on Sunday and didn't have internet access for a few days.

Anyway, race report for Disco is here. It was supposed to be on Oly Tri, but since a nearby city was pumping raw sewage into the lake, they switched it to a du. No arguments here.

You can tell by the pictures of my wife and best friend, it was a fun race. Terrible course and even worse race management, but lots of fun.

ROFLMAO!!! Visions of ninja turtles.... are you sure these guys are scary enough?

Dont get mad... get even... (jus' sayin) 

It would be nice if the Astana team could ......

KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!

They are just crash prone, and then the team couldn't even hang to get their GC contendor back into the peloton ..... so sad!!  

Z-dog - 2007-07-14 12:57 PM 31 miles of nonstop hills today! (and it wasn't in Florida, haha) the Tour ans I were in the mountains Btw, thanks for the notes about my dad from some of youse wise guys!

Just 31, not 120 - you didn't do triple-by-pass? (not that I did either but have to give you some grief)  BTW, I have seen your bike and pics of Rick's, I think you were wrong.

Hi - just to let you know Im operating on USA time so the first reporting day is Monday (tomorrow) - team leader (Tri3?) could you please either email me the results (PM me for the addy) OR post them in the team leaders thread by/on Tuesday so I can do an update by Wednesday AM.

Also if any individuals have had PRs, PBs or any other personal achievements then feel free to include them if you want (up to the individual)

Happy Riding!

Thanks for the update. Can everyone else either post here or send me a PM with your number of rides completed so far? Great job on the rides everyone!

In the interest of saving my teammate from your (imaginary) ninja turtles while still throwing a little smack around ...

Here's a little something to buoy the broken bodies and spirits of Astana ...

Interesting concept. One of my handlebars went into the tail light, is that more like what you were thinking?

Great job everybody in keeping up with your committe rides. I'm waiting on responses from 2 more team members before I can send our team update.
