mcewen beat boonen
both lost.
Now last night, that was an impressive bit of acceleration that just blew Zabel and Ogrady's doors off. Nice win. Back on track.

TDF forum is on the main page. and yes, you can stir there 
on stage 1 they mentioned that Robbie was 70 kilos, i wouldnt have thought he is that heavy considering he is all of 5 ft nothing.

According to his stats on the Davitamon Lotto team website Robbie's weight is listed at 67kgs. I'm guessing that by TdF time he would be pretty much at his optimal race weight.
edit - and 170cms I think

If you want to see where I fit into the matrix, just look at any pix of Magnus Backstedt. I'm the same height and weight as that guy, but prettier and with more hair.
He has me trumped in the lungs and legs departments though.
Average is what, 5ft 9ins and 71kg or something like that? Puny little b1tches!

A little while ago I mentioned an unusual carry on with EchoWell.
Well the guys have made good on their promise and delivered a brand spanking new HRM. Not just the unit, but strap, mounting kit, speed and cadence sensor, and instruction manual. All for nicks, even international shipping was at their cost. How good is that!!

What's on for tonights stage ed? Boonen smashing them with brute strength on the uphill climb to the finish? Lotsa little breaks over the rollers, and negative pack shutting them down quickly to keep the sprinters in the hunt?

Stuart O'Grady for the win....arms in the air....20-30 metres to the bunch.
He'll punch his way up that little climb and use his Charlie Walsh-induced aerobic capacity to hold off the field.
Meet back here tomorrow morning for debrief...
