    season and the first to do it since 1958.

    Convincingly, too, by about a bike-length over Zabel and another three over third-place Boonen.
    Beautifully done. Any predictions as to how many he will pull down by the end?

  3. please refrain from giving away results in header. a simple "Stage two results" would have been
    better. I was just about to go to cyclingnews.com and slowly go through the summary when I saw your
    header. a small thing but does help. Gary

    and who are you to confuse people with these wrong guidelines? The standard is to put top 3 in the
    header. Make it up by contributing this very Vuelta pls.

    Thanks,
    B.

    Jeez - rbr encourages results in headers so we don't have to read the mince in the body.

    Quiz - from Eurosport today - I'd forgotten how many he'd won that year - frightening...

    AAARGH! Pourtant, c'est "quiz" avec le seul z.

    I think Tricia should move on to tv.

  13. Winning two out of every three stages in a GT is more than scaring.

    The bloke can simply be talked to by visiting the museum where he works. I can't guarantee you'll
    understand a thing, but that's not the point.

    I didn't know about his current circumstances - doesn't sound good. He is one of my all time heroes
    - along with his lead-out man from those days. Another one who is difficult to understand - but that
    didn't stop him getting a job commentating on Eurosport....

  15. She is beginning to do some TV commercial work. You have a fine eye!

    So is it the type of quiz where you actually provide an answer, or do you just assume everyone knows
    the answer and start talking about him, therefore having no point to the quiz at all?

    NS

    [censored]. Some of us tape the race to watch later...unless a useless punter like yourself posts
    the results.

    Well, although that picture ruined my desert, it was still a hell of a lot better than a
    picture of Henry.
