Go Landis, get that MJ back!!!

Flandis with a minute over the yellow ~3K to go.

He needs to separate from Kloden

Rasmussen!!!!

Jesus,, Landis just grabbed 15 seconds on the leaders in 1km

This is one helluva stage. All of these jokers who are saying that the TdF sucks this year are full of crap. This is a great Tour!

Cunego on the hunt!~

Amen, this is pure excitement.

Boy, all of these guys finished with strong accelerations.

http://www.bezirksseiten.at/europa/luxemburg.gif Schleck wins one for Luxemburg!

So Landis is back in yellow, correct?

Landis back in Yellow!!!!!!

Congrats to Schleck. And Damiano "Can-not-go" gets second.

He's in yellow, but Landis is probably thinking that they shouldn't have given Periero 30 minutes back the other day.

Disco looks ugly still.

Schleck....good on him great effin' climb.
Landis, yea booooiii!!!!

Wow, Trautwig saying this years TDF was a disaster for CSC will need to eat his words now...I guess if you consider 2 stage wins to not be a disaster...

Disco looks ugly still.

George was fading back and he was to top guy for them.

Great win for Schleck!

Wow, Trautwig saying this years TDF was a disaster for CSC will need to eat his words now...I guess if you consider 2 stage wins to not be a disaster...
:lol: I'd call two wins less than a disaster.
What does AL know?

Word. And it shows how strong T-Mobile is too. CSC and T-Mobile lost their best guys and still very strong. Disco lost their top guy, and they're crap now.

Landis 10 seconds ahead of Pereiro in the GC. Dessel 2:02 back in 3rd.

I can't wait to watch this tonight.

ten seconds.....dang that's pretty tight, gonna be some good racin' this week!!! :p :D

provisional:

1 - LANDIS Floyd
2 - PEREIRO SIO Oscar - 00' 10"
3 - DESSEL Cyril - 02' 02"
4 - MENCHOV Denis - 02' 12"
5 - SASTRE Carlos - 02' 17"
6 - KLÖDEN Andréas - 02' 29"

8 - ROGERS Michael - 05' 01"

Hasn't Discovery won a stage and had the yellow jersey? They're certainly not strong this year, but most teams would be extremely happy with those results. Crap? Right.

I'm starting to think that Pereiro won't be as much of a thorn in Floyd's side as was predicted...

It amazes me how tight they can make the gaps. First Landis gets the yellow by 8 seconds, then by 10 seconds today.

That being said, I think I'd prefer it if they got rid of the radios. Then keep the support vehicles off the road. Maybe the DS and support teams can ride tandems or something for resupplying riders, but no barrelling up and down the mountain at 90kph through crowds in their Peugots... :)

it is just amazing how relaxed and calm Landis looks.

In my best Rob Schneider voice
Floyd can dooo eettttttt

Pereiro gets an A+ from me for not hanging out with Tom, I didnt think he would be anywhere in top 10.
and nice job funny man DZ, helpin the team out !!!

Discovery, is trying to find their asses with both hands. They are having difficulties as their asses keep getting handed to them.

Hincapie took stage 1
Popo took stage 12

Leipheimer continues to look very good as well. If not for his disastrous time trial, he'd be in tight contention for GC. I'll be looking forward to see how he does on the next TT when he's not sick.

Hincapie took stage 1
Popo took stage 12

Actually Jimmy Casper took stage 1.

Discovery, is trying to find their asses with both hands. They are having difficulties as their asses keep getting handed to them.

After reading all of your posts in this thread I think I can safely say that you are a moron. When did Discovery ever say they were going to be dominate in this tour? Bruyneel said at the start they have no expectations. What happens, happens. Did you really expect anything else from Disco without Lance? Till they get Danielson dialed in this is what should be expected.

Why are people so worried about Pereiro? The only reason he is in the position he is in now is because they let him get that position.

Wow, just got back from my morning ride and caught the last bits. Sounds like it was a fantastic stage. Looking forward to the recap later today. Good to see Floyd back in yellow! Paul and Phil were saying something that for the last 18 Tours the person wearing yellow at L'Alpe d'Huez took it to Paris or something along those lines. It sure looks like Floyd can do it; I hope so!

So what happened to Boonen? Sucks he's out, I thought he had some hope for green but sure looks like Robbie's gonna run with that now.


This is a lot of fun to follow this year!

Actually Jimmy Casper took stage 1.

should have clarified that, Hincapie took the yellow on stage 1
Popo won stage 12

Actually Jimmy Casper took stage 1.
No he didn't. Hincapie did. I clearly remember this as -- I was all decked out in my Discovery jersey, LIVESTRONG hat, and a freshley tattoed LIVESTRONG armband still stinging on my wrist -- I was jumping for joy when George easily won the sprint by about five bike lengths, jumping so hard in fact that I slammed my head into the ceiling.

whatever buddy...... 95% of what I posted here was from the Tour site as it was happening, no analysis on my part here. Disco has been a terrible disappointment to themselves and their hype machine. I expected NOTHING from Disco, and got just that. Cept for Popo's break, that was a killer ride.

hahahahhhaa!!


did you guys notice that phil said that race radio had mentioned that menchov or someone was 15 seconds back and closing, T Mob's DS heard this as well and immediatley Kloden went on the attack.

No he didn't. Hincapie did.

Hehe--Disco's fans are still wearing all of the old team leader's merchandise. No clinging going on here... :)

Thor Hushovd won the Prologue, Jimmy Casper won stage 1, and Robbie McEwen won stage 2. Hincapie never won a stage this year.

Did you then fall down onto your official Lance Armstrong blow up love doll and burst it? Then crash into the stereo, scratching your Sheryl Crow CD collection?

Poor Disco fans..... how far they've fallen now that they have no leader.
I hope the ratings are good for the race-to-replace. Nothing like having priorities in place, like furthering Lance's foundation AFTER he's retired. Not that it's a bad thing but maybe wait until the season is over possibly Disco still hasn't stopped workin' for Lance it seems.

Looks like the REAL winner of the race to replace will be whoever's left when the peloton rolls into Paris. That's the new team leader. :)

the orignal question was

I already said I forgot to add it was a YELLOW he won, not the stage ...
and it was before both your posts, but I guess you need to look cool somehow right ? :p
(im being sarcastic)

hahahahhhaa!!

I wonderd why he kept looking back like someone was right there ...

I hate posting 3 in a row, but all you haters of discovery team fans can get a life, I was a disco fan 3rd, a Lance fan 2nd, but a #1 FAN OF USA first and foremost

so when a rider from the greastest country on earth wins the race, again, all you haters can line up in one big row

Stop trying to make this a USA agin the world again please.

And if we can't win the TdF, we can definitely show them that we're the greastest at spelling...

What does being a Landis fan have to do with being a Disco fan? How many americans are even ON team Disco this year? 2? 3? (edit) Oh, sorry... One.

And we wonder why the world has a problem with us.... :Sigh:
