He sucks. he couldn't win the stage lance gave to him. remember that. Then ask yourself - why was he an hour behind ALL OF THESE GUYS in the dauphine libiere? I'd probably fall an hour back, if someone was taking my blood so they could give it back to me the evening of 7/19.

i hate floyd.

It was.

SPOILER: But if he's not gonna win, who is??? One has to call him the favourite now, I guess. Pereiro Sio is not much of a TT man, I am told... Klöden may just catch Landis, but Cadel Evans and Menchov are already pretty far back. I'm rooting for the Spaniards Pereiro and Sastre, who are now in the lead, but their advantage is sooo slim. They're likely to slip back.

Yeah when Landis crashed today I never thought he would get to the line inside of the elimination time. Did you see all the blood on his back? That man is a machine.


oops, spoiled!

...and when the wings sprouted from his ankles and angels carried him across the line I was totally freaked out that a Tour official would dock him a minute or two, but everything was okay after all; he even got away with suckerpunching Kloden.

Floyd rules. I was shattered to see him in such bad shape yesterday, dropping out of the top ten, and looking half dead. Today was amazing. Fugging guy is so strong when he wants to be (Bum hip and all).
I've always just assumed that he rides "clean", and I want it to be true so bad...
The German authorities have announced that they are pressing conspiracy charges against JU et al. ****ey way to end a career.

the way rassmussen has been pulling menchov around every day except yesterday is pretty impressive... When menchov was on one of the prelimenary puerto lists I was hoping rasmussen would be freed in the mountains. I think he might have been able to get enough to make up for his timetrailing but it was not not be. Anyone know why menchov was allowed to start anyway?

<i>I've always just assumed that he rides "clean", and I want it to be true so bad...</i>

I assume the opposite about everyone. It makes for alot less disapointment. Even if he got a giant transfusion this morning it was still an amazing ride.
