Bullshit!...do you really believe the crap you sprout?...or are you just trolling?

Except JV was a short term sock-puppet act there. Grater has been consistently a fanboy of T-Mobile, High Road, now Team Columbia for more than two years now.... so I don't think he's deliberately baiting here with provocatively biased posts just to get a response and a laugh. Though that is hard to believe.... when he predicts Team Columbia to finish 1,2,3 on nearly every stage and to make up most of the break group, and for Kirchen to climb past everyone to win mountain stages.

I am talking content, the superficial content, not the parody.

Grater is Vader on content.

The irony is that if he had correctly predicted the top three today, and sent it to cyclingnews, he could have had a chance of winning a Columbia jersey (yeah, the actual chance is small due to the thousands who send their e-mail). Too bad that his obsession with Columbia precludes him from winning a Columbia jersey.

come on, give the guy some credit. He has been working for Timberland for a decade, and now tosses the gig in for a job with Columbia. He has also taken the metaphor to extreme heights, imbibing a stockbroker load of Bogota's finest.

He actually nearly nailed that one stage where Cavendish and Ciolek went first, second.

Geez Crank....I thought you were starting to learn a few things....how hard could that be to predict....any flat stage with the form that Cav is in, he's gunna be a chance, particularly with THAT leadout team!...& the lack of serious opposition...the fact that Ciolek is also a handy sprinter & also benefits from being in that 'train' meant that he wasn't the worst chance of being on the podium anyway...now if Grater called something that wasn't obvious....

I won a Columbia jersey in the Versus contest this year. Maybe I can sell to Grater.

NOOO... you are just saying that in hindsight. Grater KNEW!!! ..... IN ADVANCE!!!!!. He is all seeing ... all knowing. He is Adam Hansen. I'm convinced of it.... Or one of the other pros on the Columbia Team. Maybe he's Linus Gerdemann in a cast...

I don't need to win a Columbia jersey. I've already bought one and also the knicks. That's how dedicated I am.
