Finally the pink jersey will get some air time now that LA is off the course.

obie 05-21-09 08:42 AM

Wow, DiLuca is waaay back off his saddle on that descent. Crazy.

bdcheung 05-21-09 08:43 AM

I've put together a spreadsheet to determine actual time differences between the main GC contenders.

Its those 808s(?) he's pushing up the climbs.

Wow, Levi KILLED that climb!

TheKillerPenguin 05-21-09 08:54 AM

Oh HELL yeah!

He just needs to keep it going on the descent.

merckx89 05-21-09 08:56 AM

So what's with all the low profile wheels. You would think they would at least want 50-60mm deep rims.

bdcheung 05-21-09 08:57 AM

that's cute with the umbrellas

grolby 05-21-09 08:59 AM

Meanwhile, looks like the climb is killing Menchov.

grolby 05-21-09 09:00 AM

And yet, much faster than Levi. Wow.

TheKillerPenguin 05-21-09 09:00 AM

*snap*

bdcheung 05-21-09 09:01 AM

Simoni finishes 34" slower than Armstrong

Di luca smacks a spectator.

She had it coming (unfortunately, I think he missed). Don't touch the riders, idiot! I was wincing as I saw her run closer and closer.

bdcheung 05-21-09 09:06 AM

i think it was a "he"

Oh, well, whatever. Idiocy knows no gender.

johnybutts 05-21-09 09:10 AM

i thought "he" as well. Menchov looked so pained, but ended up doing well on the 3rd climb... Wonder if he went too hard, will lose time on decent/into the fnish?

admcptch 05-21-09 09:15 AM

1:34.49 for Levi, WOW!

To think Menchov is that far ahead of that time. Let's see if Menchov can keep it up.
