...hmm...strange we haven't heard from musette in the last couple of days......fair weather fan just as I suspected.
Since her Levi isn't doing as well as she had boasted, she has probably crawled back to her hole.thoughtforfood said:...hmm...strange we haven't heard from musette in the last couple of days......fair weather fan just as I suspected.
Levi might be racing cleaner. Pretty average rider without the primo medical regime.TheDarkLord said:Since her Levi isn't doing as well as she had boasted, she has probably crawled back to her hole.

Tyler Hamilton had better watch out. He's not the only one with a twin.
Maybe Cadel is reading this forum and has grown sick of fscyclist referring to him as a wheel sucking whimp...whiteboytrash said:Just finished watching the stage and I tell you what Evans is a new man....... he rode the entire climb on the front and at times was putting Valverde into trouble....... Levi was gone..... no good..... well no good without dope....... Evans even pumped his fist when he came over the line for 2nd........ good of Valverde not to go around him......... Rogers rode well as did Gesink....... where was Sanchez ??????

Yes lets give Evans his dues. He didnt initiate the move that dropped Levi as usual- but sure, when he saw him dropping 25 metres back, then he did make all the work at the front. Having said that it was only about the the last 2- 3 uphill kms.whiteboytrash said:Just finished watching the stage and I tell you what Evans is a new man....... he rode the entire climb on the front and at times was putting Valverde into trouble.......

wicklow200 said:By the way, got to meet Jan Ullrich today at opening day of his brothers bike shop in Berlin. I asked him for his tip for this years tour and he could only mention Evans. But to be honest, he hardly seemed to care or even have thought about it at all. Can't blame him I suppose.
Not that much to tell really. He was doing autographs and you got your 20 seconds with the "man". But he was looking very tanned, healthy, and fit. A gentle giant. He seemed a bit guarded when I wanted to ask him cycling related questions, but can you blame him.whiteboytrash said:Evans, Levi, Valverde what the ? Who gives a fark !
Tell us more about Ullrich ! How was he looking ? Fit ? Any spare tyre around the waist line ? You should have asked him about Bonnen ! details, details, details.......

Wanted to bring him a present from all the cycling forums contributors of a huge cream cake, and maybe some pies, but didnt get round to it.
thing is, everyone is saying that Crank, but if you look at the first stage in 2006 in the mtns, when Kloden unhinged, Evans worked with Landis to drive the group, he rode on the front.Crankyfeet said:Maybe Cadel is reading this forum and has grown sick of fscyclist referring to him as a wheel sucking whimp...
A very exciting stage considering Levi and Evans were the main protagonists. Valverde had the measure of them - he just waited, composed himself and reeled them in. Bears well for his chances of taking on Evans in the TdFEldrack said:Leipheimer counters, catches Evans and then procedes to sit on his wheel and not do any work, even when Evans asks him to. Then he attacks Evans who manages to get onto his wheel. Group behind only has four people in it now but they're closing slowly, now Valverde counters and catches them, dragging the others with him.
