  1. Seven minutes and 41 seconds down, Mazzoleni, 174th overall, looks positioned well for the
    mountains. He'll just have to avoid losing more time. I think he can go as far as 13 minutes down
    before he has to worry.

    Seven or eight minutes is nothing in these opening flat stages.

    I noticed Lance was favoring his left leg today. Unkown to anyone, Lance has been having a bit of
    trouble with tendenitis(sp?) in the area of his right ankle this season.

    All he needs is one bad day in the mountains, like stage 14 or stage 15.

    Last year on stage 11 François Simon had a bad day and lost 43 minutes by the time he finished on
    the col d' Tourmalet.

    I'll be keeping a close eye on Lance, he can't bluff any weakness with
    me.

    That's real good Mozzarella... praying for Lance to have a bad day... a real loser's strategy.

    It should be clear: Mazzoleni is dropping time so that he can make a bid for the maillot pois. If he
    started attacking mountain peaks while he was within 5 minutes of the GC lead, Heras, Armstrong,
    Simoni, and Ullrich would chase him down like he was the last fox in rural England, and then Heras
    would throw his water bottles at Mazzoleni just to make sure the point struck home.

    Forza Mazzoleni, any Mazzoleni,

    So what does Fabrizio think of Eddy's performance so far?

    The pea jersey? Is that a new one this year?

    I did notice they have something called the Centenaire category, whatever that
    is.

    Tendonitis is no big deal. I have some in my achilles, and it only hurts when I walk. In fact,
    spinning the pedals provides relief. Anyway, they'll probably just inject his ankle with something
    before the climbing stages -- maybe Dynastat, the first injectable COX-2 specific inhibitor. I
    wonder what Ty is getting for his injury.

    Guido? I don't know -- his online diary doesn't mention him. They are on different teams, after all.
    Plus, Fabrizio has his work cut out for him keeping Ulrich's butt out of trouble.

    If his tendonitis is in his right ankle, why is he favoring his left leg ?.

    Maybe we meant he was using his strong leg, the left, in favor of the right, or something like that.

    Anyway, don't worry about, we know what we're doing, we're pro.

    Yes. I was being a snob. The correct term is maillot à pois, which is not "shirt with peas" but
    "shirt with dots." Maillot pois means something like pea-colored shirt.

    D'oh! My mistake. The GC leader wears that particular shirt.
