  1. O'Grady wins at Chartres in an excellent and tactical finish for the
    breakaway.

    53 points earned towards the green jersey

    McEwen and Voigt both victims of falls today but seem to be rolling okay.

    LA is over 9 mins down. Voeckler (Fr.) is in Yellow and O'Grady is 2nd.
    O'Grady isn't a bad climber but not in the leage of LA or Ullrich.

    That's why the lead will be erased after the first mountain stage.

    It is considered to be in best taste not to put results in headers.

    Thanks very much.

    But Sandy Casar - now third - is a pretty good climber. At the mountain
    stages of the Giro 2003 twice in the top ten.

    Jim didn't put anything about Armstrong in the header. It also isn't
    clear from the subject line what O'Grady won. I was rather surprised when
    I opened the email that this was not about his lottery purchase on
    Saturday.

    At least if you do, post the podium. That's just polite.

    I do know that Patrick once took 2nd in a cross race. I hadn't realized
    until now how significant my win was.

    At least if you do, post the podium. That's just polite.

    Yeah RBR protocol is to put results and specificaly podium in the
    header. If your header is "stage 5 results" you will get complaints.
    Personally, I don't care, but if someone is worried about spoilers then
    he should stay away fro RBR. I record on TIVO and I do not check RBR
    before hand

    No, the opposite is the case. You put "stage 5 results" in the header
    so that people who want to see the evening broadcast don't know the
    outcome ahead of time. Kind of like OLN last night with Lance in the
    yellow before the TTT was ever done.

    Richard you know the squirrels would beat Anna. They are a hell of a lot more

    It shocks me that you have been around here for so long, yet have absolutely
    no clue about the RBR results posting etiquette.
