Here comes Evans...... Oh Evans, what a rough tour. He'd wish for the "bridesmaid" title this Tour.

Yeah, but with Zabriskie - he's the US TT champion, and that rear wheel looks like Captain America's shield when it's spinning. I think it's pretty awesome, quite frankly.

That's cool... personally, I find the flag, when it's being used as anything other than a flag, pretty tacky. It's just the color combo, you know? Blue, red, AND white is a tough palette, imo.

Looks like it's starting to rain... That should make things interesting if it continues. (Sudden flashbacks of Jan Ullrich come to mind...)

Wow Carlos has a 40 second advantage according to Versus, and the piece on Cervelo. I guess he should win. He he.

Wow interview with Lance. He says if he gets one second on Frank and Andy he will not lose it on Stage 20.

If Lance doesn't win today he has no chance of coming back next year and doing any damage.
I guess I am picking him.
