Isn't that sort of like winning the spelling bee in the "special" class?

Currently in 47th overall. But I don't have Evans or F. Schleck, so I'm doomed.

i wanted kim kirchen on my team, but didn't want to lose robbie hunter. not enough sprint finishes this year imho. i was close to taking romain feillu over sebastian chavenel.

i think i am in second place as far as the bf prefixers go. just a shade in front of bf - ryanf. he is doing pretty well, actually.

Hmm. Putting this thread together with your 'doubt and pain' thread makes me think you are ready for a job as a DS.

Edit: You still have Johan's number from that ride with Discovery a while back?

Yep. But I think after Cunego's performance in this tour Lampre is going to be on the horn...

I believe you've raced with me before, so that means you're not DFL
