Normal folks could get views like this without arriving two hours ahead of time, minimal crowd fighting, and still score some schwagg at the expo:



Each of the jersey winners got a bouquet and a giant burrito:

Bettini dropped his chain going up Stockton. By the time he was rolling towards the last 300 meters his pace was pretty conservative. Anyways, here's Rogers and Scarselli:

For those of you who care, VS is showing the coverage on their HD feed. Its not in high def, but it still looks alot better than on the standard cable version. If you are going to dvd it, this would make it more enjoyable for the future.

I like them a lot. Very different, but the colours and design work -- subtle and tasteful I think. None of that massive corporate branding you see with the others which is also refreshing. More than that, though, I am really admiring this team's ethos. I think Vaughters is doing an excellent job with this squad and with Donald's performance, and then with Peterson up there today in the break, they're really showing themselves as a legitimate pro squad. I hope that Vaughters is able to fulfil his Pro Tour ambitions with this team.
