Ouch, that's gotta hurt. And I don't mean the broken bone.

Valverde is starting to seem more accident prone than Tyler Hamilton,
which does not bode well for his future prospects. That's two straight
TdFs from which he has had to withdraw due to accidents.

That settles it. Hincapie wins GC.

Am I the only one watching the team classification? It's
the usual suspects.

Valverde's not Tyler Hamilton. He's the new Jonathan Vaughters.

That's good news - it means he's clean, of course.

Don't be so sure. There's Landis, Leipheimer, Rogers, Rasmussen, Evans
left. Even his own teamate, Azevedo, has climbed better than GH in the
TdF.

That said, things are looking pretty good for the English speaking
contingent.

thanks,

K. Gringioni.

I thought it was knee strain or tendonitis or something like that last year.

Why is Vuelta winner Menchov never mentioned in any contendah lists?

He's not American. You're only allowed to name Americans as contenders on
this group.

Oh ya, Menchov.

There's Mayo too, but neither one of those guys have been wonderful in
the TT.

Blair is Bush's poodle, so by imperial adoption, yes, of course.

Gee whiz, you're picky. The empire isn't that picky. Anyway, any
winner will get adopted. Or have democracy reestablished. Or become a
guest at Guantanamo.

Wouldn't that have read "SHE hit HER knee DURING HER cycle last year"?

Rasmussen would be good at hunger striking anyway.

It isn't so good if you die of starvation after missing one meal...

No... the winner will be some young domestic that nobody has thought
of, who gets in a (typically doomed) breakaway, after which the rest of
the peleton is delayed for 3 hrs when a train crashes in the middle of
the road, emitting toxic gases (etc).

Or maybe Boonan will accidentally win the overall while going for the
green jersey. Of course he will get the green and spotted jerseys as
well. Eyebrows will rise when it is discovered that his hematocrit has
gone from 38 to 49.99... but hell, we need a hero in the worst way...
