Hmmm...

Contadork should get Altoids as a sponsor because he is also “Curiosly Strong” ———— If you like your coffe strong like Alberto check out Koa...

Alberto Iscariot...

And Satan entered into Judas Alberto, who was surnamed Iscariot Contador… Well at least A Tour is not boring anymore.  Contadork showed once again that he is the best climber and biggest douche bag in the race.  He says the attack was planned Bruyneel says not so much.  Either way it was not cool.  I am just wondering why Schlecks decided not to attack the tapas out of...

Off the Back...

Sorry for my lack of updates, other “stuff” has come up and frankly most of last week A Tour was pretty uneventful.  These are not exactly timely but there are a few things I wanna comment on. 1. More Hinault!  Every time that guy opens his mouth it is pure gold.  I guess the older we get the better we were, huh Bernie?  I know that when I am in my 50′s I will...

Go Long...

Holy cow a Frenchman won the stage today.  Voekler pulled off the Hail Mary today thanks largely to the sprinters teams (Garmin being the exception) being too scared to close it down so Cav could win again.  Good for Voekler though he has always been a gutsy rider and it is good to see aggression rewarded. I hope he doesn’t turn into a one trick pony like Jackie Durrant though,...

Breathing Room...

Astana surprised no one by winning the TTT today.  The win did work the Lance fan boys into a tizzy (I bet more than a few portly middle management types pulled the trigger on a new Madone today)  with some calling win #8 in the bag.  That might be a stretch.  Today dig did dig Sastre and Cadel a little deep into the hole then they are probably comfortable with.  Both are close to...

Team Clinic...

Looks like Big George learned a thing or two riding for Bruyneel.  Today his Columbia-HRC team used one of Bruyneels favorite tactics by putting it in the gutter to see who come to race.  Lance did.  Contador? I guess he was confident Paulinho could close the gap.  Garmin, Lotto, Saxo Bank all got caught flat footed with no one in the front group.  In the end it was only 40...

Tour TT Tips...

Being a giver I have decided that I should give my best armchair quarterback advice to some of the riders in the time trial at A Tour of France. Zabriskie – Dude, you look good in yellow. Go really fast and if anything gets in your way, turn! Cavendish – Don’t focus on it too much, that would be disrespectful to your sponsors. Boonen – Just follow the white...
