All the interesting ones were kicked off for consorting with bike
racers. That's an unfortunate comment on what's left - they couldn't
even consort with an underweight guy that just spent six hours with
100 other guys. I think if Cipo would finsih a few more stages, there
would be a better selection of podium girls applying.

Are we supposed to give names or something? I only go by hair color.

I posted this on the top of my main web page:

SPECIAL: Tour de France 2004 - Papai Predictions for the Final GC
1. Lance Armstrong, has the will, the guts and the wile.
2. Jan Ullrich, unfortunately another 2nd place for Der Kaiser
3. Tyler Hamilton, he could take it all but Lance and Jan too tough
4. Iban Mayo, a bad day in the mountains and he misses out
5. Roberto Heras, could easily podium but not with these guys
6. Ivan Basso, 6th place will astound all
7. Haimar Zubeldia , a little luck and he gets 4th place
Watch out for: Sevilla, Gutierrez, Leipheimer, Michael Rogers, Julich, and Simoni.
(KJP, 6/28/04 - Please check back occasionally to see how my predictions pan out!)

I don't have the extra energy to run the predictions contest though Tom
but would happily submit to someone else (Kevin?) running one so
I could see how my prognostications stack up.

I'll be in the Sierra getting fatter during the Prologue and Stage 1
and will be champing at the bit to find results. To say I'll
be jonesing is putting it mildly.

I predict someone will get excedingly drunk durning the next 3.5 weeks
and attempt to wear a tour podium as a hat, resulting in a strained
back and a bruised knee, followed by the traditional wearing 'o the
ice-pack.

The only dude big enough to do that is Magnus Backstedt!
