I wanna see a downhill road race between Flandis and Savoldelli.

il Falco's remarkable descent in the 2002(?) Giro was better than Floyd's descent(s)
today. Or maybe the camera motorcycle was just working better.

I just watched the tape of today's stage, I have to admit
maybe Floyd is the guy.

Made me go and reglue the Corsa CX's and I'm going to go
out and try flicking the bike like that. Never seen those
Euros do it like that on the decent.

Dumbass -

The Falcon (Savoldelli) is the best.

Henry's right. Floyd is wild and throws that bike through the corners. Comes
from racing mountain bikes. Il Falco is so smooth that he looks like the
perfect line through the corners.

Put "The Doctor" on a bicycle and have him descend with "The Falcon".
My money would be on the doc.

Great descending coverage yesterday, they don't do enough of that
usually.

Well, let's book the showdown and see which way is faster, just for the
hell of it. A case of Amstel Gold to the winner, or some much more
artfully designated prize.

Il Falco's Giro descent was a god-damned work of art. Pity I can't find
a video copy of it.

You have to admit, Savoldelli's most publicized rides were not in 95F
heat on melted tarmac. A lot of the odd lines could be explained if
you pay attention to where the shiny black spots are on the road.
Floyd took the best lines possible of anyone on Thursday.
