Actually I think it's spelled "Fido". Or "Spot"

Yeah those fat white spokes look really cool at 50 kph

your manlust for the bolshevik could pay off as long as long as his sister denise doesn't show up in the mountains ;).

So if you haven't won the TdF then you aren't a GC contender. So we can consider, Levi, Basso et al to be pretenders.

If you are going to base a races importance purely on Lances schedule then just about every race on the calender isn't worth contending. You need to change your forum name to 99'er. By the way where is you lover LA in relationship to Menchov? Oh I guess he isn't trying because this race has no meaning.

they definitely have the nicest wheels in the peloton

bbattle 05-22-09 08:54 AM

Lance setting Levi up for the sprint!

bbattle 05-22-09 08:55 AM

Go Lance, Go!

Hocam 05-22-09 08:57 AM

Haha yeah lance isn't setting **** up from 5k to go. Does Astana even have any sprinters?

Too bad those lightweights don't pedal for you.

bbattle 05-22-09 08:57 AM

Lot of Garmin up front at 3k

bbattle 05-22-09 08:59 AM

Columbia train steaming up the side.

Garmin in control less than 2k

bbattle 05-22-09 08:59 AM

Cav in 10 at 1k

bbattle 05-22-09 09:00 AM

Here comes columbia

Cav wins, Petacchi second.

bdcheung 05-22-09 09:01 AM

That was beautiful

SushiJoe 05-22-09 09:01 AM

Still hate Cav.
Times three now. :p

bdcheung 05-22-09 09:02 AM

rollin 05-22-09 09:02 AM

Quite funny to see Astana up there. Astana has no sprinters.

bdcheung 05-22-09 09:04 AM

Farrar got squeezed and boxed out of position for the sprint

I know, what is up with that?

Scummer 05-22-09 09:04 AM

What a beast.

Yeah, was a bummer.
When Petacchi and Cav took off, Farrar wasn't ready. Gotta be on it if you want to win.

admcptch 05-22-09 09:05 AM

Great teamwork and sprint from Team Columbia and Cav again. That team is key to his sprints for sure, I'm glad he thanked all of them at the end right after he crossed.

Those Lightweights Milram uses are awesome, got to seem them in action quite a bit today!

No, Columbia's Boasson Hagen and Cavendish just went right past him and David Millar. They got beat by speed, not boxed out.
