The one nut pedal stroke.

I'll have to admit that one.

I knew you couldn't say bollocks to that, well maybe bollock.

Cod-swallop. We could knacker ourselves coming up with one liners. I'm gonna sack myself from this subject, even though I am having a ball.

nerve, and a slew of other things you clearly lack, such as intelligence, humor, wit, creativity, charm, style...

now move along little troll.

Learn to capitalize, loser.

awww... you called me a name. that hurts.

Okay you two take it offline...now I missed the race cause I was actually riding my bike. Reading the results it looks like Levi struggled but managed to minimize his losses. No change to GC. How did Basso look?

I thought I saw basso and his comrade glued to di luca... it's up on the universal website to review.

today the commentators were making funnies of lance armstrong having to carry water bottles

they were like haha new career move! etc.

I hope all you idiots noticed that a Cervelo S2 was the winning bicycle today.

I back in from a movie with the spousal unit in time to see the last 10 minutes. I knew you wouldn't let me down with the Cervelo post

However, that ain't Mt. Doom they were finishing on

Mt. Doom is like a scale model version of that stupid finishing climb today. 1.3 km instead of 2.1 km, 400 vertical feet instead of the 800 vertical feet or whatever that was today. Similar 16% grades.

That climb wasn't long, just steep and at the end of a stage.

you're confusing armstrong with lemond.

Are we talking Neil Armstrong here? He was associated with high technology in his day.

Yea, I caught it right when the solo break was turning into the finishing climb. All I have here is short but steep for climbs. I usually look like the poor bastage who was wobbling sideways to cut the grade if I don't hit them regularly.

I miss real climbing in a weird S&M kind of way.

The Cervelo dude looked awfully fluid on the steep section, the guy trying to get his wheel started going sideways a bit on the 16% part. I attribute this entirely to the markedly superior Cervelo S2 bicycle technology at Gerrand's disposal.

It's viral...

just watched the final km of today's stage...

it really sucks to see how bad Levi is at acceleration.

"i'm a diesel." - levi leipheimer.

it's true. he's not as punchy as DiLuca, or even Contador or Lance.

Just picking up on that? First time watcher long time poster? This why I don't see him winning this thing. He attacks like Ulrich. Slowly.

incorrect.

True. Ulrich had a chance to make an attack stick.

this one was............
