Saunier Duval Team Thread (Page 4)

Take care of your knee.  Remember - Ice is your friend...  I hope it feels better.

Michael

Thanks Michael.  I have been using ice and it does help to some degree.   I was able to get out again this morning for another ride and am now through stage 8.   That puts me over the half-way mark.

Dan

I really want to talk some smack to other teams but no one else is doing it.

Saunier Duval is the #1 team and last stage was #1 and #2 with Ricco not too far away.  He has gotten alot of press so far with his 2 stage wins and was in the pack right behind teammates in the last stage.

Hey guys,

Thanks to Jenn I have now gotten Stage #11 done and I did #10 yesterday. So I am at 11 Stages done for 1,170 minutes/19.5 hrs.

Dcon: take care of that knee.

Everyone else: ride safe and well

Chris

I'm through stage 9 today although I kept the ride to a short 45 minutes.

Tony: the knee issue is an ongoing problem that I'm trying to figure out.  I originally thought it was running, but it is has been showing up even after I stopped running.  I'll have to look into those speedplays.  I haven't seen them yet in the shops here.  Needless to say, Shimano commands a significant market share.   

 Chris: nice rides! 

Now that Ricco has tested positive for EPO, and the entire Saunier Duval team has withdrawn from the Tour, I'm not so sure you want to be talking smack... just sayin'.... 

Umm a few are doing it.... the people most fun to provoke include the CSC crew, blagels on credit agricole... ummm..... Caisse D'Epargne will usually repspond.. does that help? 

This is what I call irony!

Are you all now out of the challenge?

GO CSC!

 LOL, yeah what do we do now, can we get a new team????

For the rest of the SD team if you didn't know, Riccardo Ricco tested positive for EPO and the entire team pulled out today...

Sooooo.... well, yeah.....

Cat said we could change our team if we wanted to, up to everyone else.

I am pretty dissapointed myself.  I kind of followed the tour in the past and maybe rooted for a rider or two but this was the first year I was following an entire team and looked forward to going home and seeing how each of the team memers did...

Now I just don't have nearly as much interest in the results...

Don't be discouraged by your team dropping out of the tour.  You should continue working as a team right here!  Cheers to you and keep up the good work.

Team Agritubel

Smack.... isnt that something they sell at the neighborhood drugstore

Heard that several members of Garmin-Chipoltle tested positive for Guacamole in the blood so they raided the hotel rooms and found stacks of burritos.

HAHA yeah I was waiting for that comment....

Oh, I didn't mean quit the challenge, just wondering if you guys wanted to change to a team that was still in the tour.

Stage 8 done.

5 more stages for me and not too many minutes left!

Great job everyone.

Say... I'm riding from KC to St Louis and back over the weekend... Now that your team wont be watching the Tour on TV anyone want to join me....

Get a Garmin or Get Lost

Thanks to everyone for your participation so far

See you for the week 2 results next week

Cat

Hurray!  We're in the lead!!  Everyone stay away from the EPO and keep up the great work.

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!  Great job team!

Since I'd have to find out what EPO was before I could use it, I think it's a pretty safe bet that I'll be able to stay away.  Hey, let's win this thing and all the whinny teams (and you know who you are) will be clammering for us to drug test.  hehe.
