    Goddamm.

    Those Freds cannot ride the cobbles to save their lives. How predictable was this?

    Guess its best the organizers didn't also include cobblestoned section used
    in the Tour of Flanders. Might have left all the riders in the dirt.

    They did ok once they got to the cobbles--not terribly fast but they stayed
    upright. It was sad to see the Basque boy riding on the shoulder to avoid
    what were really not very difficult cobbles. It makes me wish there was a
    100% Columbian team this year for amusment. Clearly, Mayo lacks a strong
    team to pace him on the flats and cobbles. At least he won't have to worry
    about having a bad day in what few mountain stages are to come.

    The Spaniards did fine - it was the Basques who lost out big-time.

    It's not the ability to ride cobbles. It's the fact they isolated
    Mayo.

    When he crashed where was his team? Even if they don't have the
    horsepower to keep him at the front, Mayo should always have at least
    two guys with him.

    In the cobbles the entire Postal team got shelled except Armtrong and
    two others (Hincapie and Ekimov), but they were able to regroup. If
    Armstrong got shelled you would never have seen him alone.

    A college team -- WTF?
    Or, do you refer to coffee from Colombia?
