For fricks sake! Don't put it in the subject line!

Good thing lastnight was the night I had to invoke the VCR.

Anybody else had any trouble staying awake? Not me! What a race!

I was so sleepy 6 hours ago; I thought I wouldn't last.

It's just so chaotic this year. There's no Disco domination. The big guns all get doped up and dropped from the program. The peloton do silly things letting people go.. twice, the Praying Landis gets angry and takes back massive chunkas of time, Robbie should be in green again, Cadel should be top 3, etc, woo, etc!! 😄

Question ... if the final TT on Saturday doesn't sort out the GC
placings, will there be a bunch sprint among the GC contenders in Paris
on Sunday?

And I won't discount the possibility of a kamikaze breakaway in today's
sprinters stage as well.

Fugging superb stage. The TT is going to be a nail-biter! 😄

This is how the Tour *should* be. Last few years got a bit boring, so it's great to have the drama and suspense well and truly back.

theway things are going, I don't thing there will be much champaign being drunk by the mayo-jorn during the early stages of the last day. ..

go Flanders!

Absolutely! That was simply stunning. Funky Floyd - a face like a smashed crab shell...but man can he ride! Best comeback ever? In the history of sport? In the history of civilization? 🙂

But the next person who spoils the result for anyone taping it for the next day gets killed ok?

I get the feeling there won't be too many early risers for a ride Sunday
morning. Last week I only got company at Smiths Gully when Ess caught up
(because I'm such a strong climber 😉 ), and the week before I was on my
own. If the TT is a nail biter I suspect I might head out a bit later.

If your not watching it live, your not a true fan...

It was much harder getting through the day without finding out a few
years ago, highlights at 6pm only and all day on the internet to see a
spoiler.

I finally had my broken tooth removed yesterday. I rocked up on the
bike, and the dentist said "you're not planning to ride home, are you?
You're not to increase your heartrate for the next 5 days".

Waaah.

Floyd doesn't, judging by that excuse for a beard. A bloodnut trying to
look like Zorro?

Why? Is that the whole heart infection thing you can get from visiting
your dentist?

Heh, no. They had to do a large bone and tissue graft (they removed
half the top of my friggin roof of my mouth! OW!), and so all those
new blood vessel thingies would burst if the blood pressure increased
too much.

At least I take solice of making the specialist work for his $5000.
He was really struggling with this one. The bone was apparently quite
a mess, and he had to dig all the way up to my nose.

Ouch. 🙁 Hopefully he gave you some happy drugs to see you through.

"Do I LOOK beautiful???" 🙂
