    Neither Evans or Sastre have the guts to go out on an attack
    like that.

    This is where the team really misses Basso. What a fool - I'm convinced he
    had it in him to win clean, but he obviously wasn't.

    And yes, I'm still a Basso fan. I /don't/ /care/.

    Morning had broken, and I found when I looked that we had run out
    of copper roove nails.

    Is there any chance of a comeback in the next week for him? I was
    shocked how bad he did today. If he goes on the attack tomorrow, they
    will still mark him pretty close so I'm not sure he can recuperate
    much of the time he lost. The main threats now must be Kloden and
    Evans, The skeleton....something's going on with the skeleton (much
    better nickname than Chicken), I think he'll still crack somewhere
    along the line.

    Wanna bet that Chicken's got /more/ than a minutte to Evans, and more
    than 3 minuttes to Klöden and Contador after the Pyraneas?

    After the first day in the pyraneas he is almost there:

    2:34 to Contador
    3:04 to Evans
    4.38 to Kloeden.

    It might be enough.

    I don't see Leipheimer, Sastre or Kasheckin catching him.

    I am looking for Contador to recover more quickly and
    take those three minutes. Contador has a big advantage in the
    individual time trial.

    I think Kloden and Sastre are both fully in it.

    Tomorrow, [Rasmussen and Contador] won't be allies.

    That was painfully obvious from the interview with the stage winner.

    Kloeden is still a posible overall winner, Sastre isn't - however he is
    still in the race for the lower steps on the podium.

    IMHO, Skeletor is even better...

    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletor>

    Skeletor has an amusingly skeletal head, but in fact his upper body is
    not only not skeletal, it's absurdly, Mr. Universe-class buff. We need a
    different skeleton.

    Still like chicken, because chickens are funny.
