  1. Lance didn't want yellow this morning, refused to put it on. Race
    organizer made him wear it. More Euros (or Swiss Francs) in fines.

    Dumbass Vinokourov is wearing blue/cyan, not T-Mobile's usual poofy
    pink. Has he read RBR and now knows that pink is fatal to his GC
    chances, or is there some other significance?

    Currencies do not need capitalizing (heh), AFAIK.

    I think you are undercapitalized.
    "A note about spelling and capitalization: the official spelling of the
    EUR currency unit in the English language is "euro", with a lower case
    "e". However, the overwhelmingly prevailing industry practise to spell
    it "Euro", with a capital "E". Since other currency names are
    capitalized in general use, doing so helps differentiate the noun
    "Euro", meaning EUR currency, from the more general adjective "euro",
    meaning anything even remotely having to do with Europe."

    Another snub to the French.

    When will the curse of Greg LeMond ever end?

    Kazakh champion.

    I think the Kazakh champ jersey (which is basically the same as the
    Ntl team jersey) is one of the best looking. Great colors- I love that
    blue-green, sort of Bianchi color or Fender color (like the old
    stratocasters if anyone knows what I mean).

    Mmmmmm...Surf Green, like the Jeff Beck signature model. Though he always
    sounded better with that fat-assed Les Paul tone.

    Leo picked those, mostly, out of GM colors supplied by Duco. He was a Cadillac
    man, himself.

    I like the Sonic Blue, really sets off the white pickplate. Be a nice bike
    combination too. Do the frame in that crystal blue with white tape and saddle.

    Surf green, that was it. It also came in gold and sort of a buttery
    color- I don't know the official names.

    Recently I caught "Spinal tap" and the scene where they were in the
    room with all the guitars. THe one where he says, "don't touch that!
    We don't play that one. Don't touch that!" was one of those
    stratocasters in that blue color, with the matching headstock. So
    they knew of what they spoke! At the time, though, it wasn't as
    vintage as it is now, over 20 years later! One day I was at my LBS and
    someone had brought in a Seven to be repaired, and I was saying,
    "don't touch it! We don't ride that one!" It was a swell machine.
