Road Bike Racing - AToC Stage 7 -Spoilers-

Great, another miserable day of racing.

I hope it will be dry after half of the stage.

Great, another miserable day of racing.

A good start for Zabriskie: Dave Zabriskie just learned the reason why bike racers to not grow facial hair: he tries to blow his nose, and it just doesn't quite go clear of the 'stache. Eeeeew. (from cyclingnews).

Wow... the race starts and right away the first attack and break away.

one reason why i grow mine in december, and shave by the beginning of march.

Uh... girls just wanna have fun?

????

girls, girls, girls

and that Rock Racing rider worked his balls off to get them away. Damn. Hincapie in the break, again.

Powertap "discussion". Exciting stuff, Silva is so "knowledgeable".

Creed's style is freakin wobbly!

His position (Creed's) on the bike seems odd as well. Like he's cramped instead of being stretched out.

Antlerman is back.

Absolutely shocking rain at the finish line

30km to go...

so, what's the mentality?
Levi's got the GC, do quickstep and rabobank just want a stage?

Hard working sucker, even when wet.

zirbels legs are pumping with pure EPO, jeez!! what a man!!!

Zirbel is a machine. Unreal they can't reel him in.

wowowowowoowowow georgie boy

I love it when the breakaway stays away.

Woulda been nice if Zirbel coulda held it.

The 'sprint' was almost funny...Hincapie is clearly head and shoulders stronger than the rest of those guys. He led it out, looked back, soft pedaled - but in the end nobody could come around him.

i coulda come around him...

Me, not so much.

Creed's style is freakin wobbly!

I only noticed him wobbly a little when he was cooked. I've seen him ride super smooth on the track a lot.

i was hopin Zirbel coulda made another move after sucking georges wheel for awhile.

it was nice to see george take the stage though.

Glad to see George win, guess if you get in enough breaks one will eventually stick, he was in 3 or 4 for the week!

I was hoping Jens would do something, but oh well. It's still early in the season.

Hincapie RULES. But those kits on his High Road team are from some bad 1970's art director. Brutal. As badass as Rock and Road kits are, those High Road kits are the worst I've ever seen. They make Astana look like the High Fashion Boyz of the peloton, and those kits are also horrific. But nothing quite compares to how bad High Road's new outfits are.

Pcad, Pcad, Pcad. Hincapie does all that hard work (in the pouring rain no less) to win. You give him a couple of nice words and then dump on the friggin kit. Have you no sense of shame; no sense of honor; no sense of dignity - I could go on but you get the gist of it I'm sure. :D:rolleyes::eek::);)

That was an amazing piece of riding by Hincapie.

Bissell dude was awesome. Astana made the GC no fun, but I suppose that was their job. Hincapie is AN ANIMAL.

Boring kits -- almost everyone
Awful/Attention drawing kits -- Rock racing, Slipstream
Completely unispired -- High Road, BMC, Quickstep
