    Not much in it was there?
    Two great stages through this town. Wonderful setting for a bike race,
    and good thinking to use it twice. This is turning out once again to be
    the best of the Major Tours...
    All the best

    If I understand the Millar Line principle correctly, everyone in the
    Vuelta is clean, no?

    Correct. It's especially fun that Millar is enough of a student of
    history to use make the "bread and water" reference. Though the fact
    that he repeated it suggests he was a little too proud of his studies.

    Also, note that it only means that everyone in this stage was clean.
    Like Floyd Landis' T-E ratio, the Millar Line can fluctuate in odd ways
    from stage to stage.

    Now, if we could just get a pro to start wearing a LIVEDRUNK bracelet.

    It would probably be a cyclocrosser,

    Probably why the UCI banned running the course through the beer tents last year.

    Livedrunk does not produce a bracelet. I thought the Livedrunk thingy
    was a flask.

    In which case I saw one at a cross race last season. Sort of a hip flask in a
    cage, like this: http://www.ahearnecycles.com/flask.htm .

    The envy of the peloton.

    I don't have a cage for it, but there is a flask in my gear bag. Medicinal
    reasons and such.

    One of my regular riding mates always carries a hip flask with him; indeed,
    when I crashed last year and broke my back, the first thing I was given
    was a good slug of some nice single malt... for medicinal purposes,
    obviously.

    The UCI is on LIVEDRUNK's Enemies List until they revoke their
    ridiculous beer tent ban.

    And disc brakes, too,
