yowza (for menchov)

Armstrong finishes 1.36'55"

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

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

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

ZOMG A PIRATE ship!!!!!!!111

Can Rabbobank protect pink? Discuss.

Sastre looked pooped on that climb.

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

Wow, Levi KILLED that climb!

Oh HELL yeah!

He just needs to keep it going on the descent.

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

that's cute with the umbrellas

Meanwhile, looks like the climb is killing Menchov.

And yet, much faster than Levi. Wow.

*snap*

Simoni finishes 34" slower than Armstrong

Di luca smacks a spectator.

moran tifosi

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.

i think it was a "he"

Oh, well, whatever. Idiocy knows no gender.

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?

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.
