Very true!!

But do you risk a podium at the same time... If I was the DS then definately but i'm not sure they'll be thinking that way....gotta keep the sponsors somewhat happy!!

Just an old friend that I don't see much of any more. I'm sure he's on the net somewhere. A long time ago there was a Quake tournament that we entered and it's just stuck as my net nickname.

Ahh, yes, the life and times of b1. I'm sure there will be some kind of this-is-your-life doco on it one day.

Ah! I didn't realize that you were referring to the Tour. I thought you were referring to the condition at the end of his career.

Voeckler, Millar, etc. gone. Perez dropped by the front group. Love the following comment from the official site:

Voeckler has been spat out the back of the pack. Ah, the price of sprinting for points at the top of one climb is a rapid exit from the peloton at the base of the next...

Been watching the full stage here in New Zealand. It's 1.30am and the action is hotting up. CSC are making a mistake with such a steady tempo. Frank needs 3mins before the TT. Wonder what Menchov has planned.

Can't believe Schumacher is backing up after yesterday. There's no way he can crack one day then win an even harder stage the next.
