  1. 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?
