lol, yep!

BTW, Competitive Cyclist has predicted LA will win the Tour de France this year in their "What's new?" section. From what they've seen from the Giro. Not sure I'm ready to make that leap yet. We'll see.

Theory was that 'good form in May' has not traditionally translated well to 'good form in July.'
(But I'm an unabashed fanboy so I certainly hope so.)

Universal just froze up on me.

Despite being wicked, super old, I predict Old Man River has a pretty decent kick, if it comes down to it.

I'm guessing this is just to make Di Luca chase, though, as three danger men up the road = no time bonuses for anyone else.

Plays about 5 seconds of the intro video then dies. Crap!

Liquigas has a **** ton of riders in the maglia rosa group.

Two motos following the leader, Pellizotti, about eight surrounding LA.

He's Jens Voigt with italian passion, he's Paulo Bettini with climbing legs, he has the scowl of armstrong, and the kick of valverde, yes, he's the Killer.

+1 I want this guy back in the Protour

Doped or not I am always amazed at the rate these guys go up hill.

Looks like no power meter for Lance today.
