Geez, Kleber tough on Louis Leon.
He is consistent though.
Just saw that Texas cowboy warming up -- talking to the hog, planning global domination.0 -

Or a character voice for a Pixar animated movie.
His face already looks computer animated
Actually the letour site seems to have lost Menchov on the climb - I don't suppose he's climbed off has he? or has he stuck it in the granny ring?
Fat people are so insensitive0 -

He doesn't seem to be riding one handed, so any 'break', if it exists, can't be more than a minor crack.
What?? Just because both might end up having ridden with a broken bone, that means both must be dopers? That makes no sense at all.0 -
SOMETHING has to be going on with Cadel. He's actually become a crappy rider this year. It's weird. He's not just losing time due to a bad team, he's riding like a domestique.0

Yeah, Hincapie is very clean. In the same way that Luis Leon is.0

He's training now. That's what he said on Twitter.
Suspects he might be ill.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -

He's taking it easy and saving everything for the VentouxIt's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -

He's 5th at the cote de buffy so not too bad0 -
I was thinking more along the lines of Hincapie doing a re-run of Hamilton's phoney 'man of iron' act. Still, that sort of thing seems to go down well with American fans...donrhummy wrote:

He would probably do better this year if he wasn't doing Twitter while racing.0 -
It's raining on the course now.0

Cadel has actually said (on twitter) that today is "another training ride".
He's not trying, he's just riding. He's out of this years contention and has no intention of hurting himself during the last few days... who said that, internet forum people ?0 -
Phil and Paul reckon Big George has busted LEFT collar bone.
You think that the fact that:
- his right arm is covered in webbing
- his right knee is bandaged
- he isn't using his right shoulder
that 'maybe' it's his RIGHT collarbone.
:roll:0 -
Cervelo's TT bike is amazing! The water bottle idea is really, really cool.0

Fignon speculating on French TV that Menchov is saving himslf for Ventoux as well..."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Wowo, I've never seen Kloden even smile and he just started playing around there. He smiled, stuck out his tongue, laughed, made a face - he looks so relaxed!

Versus just talked to Levi -- Phil's first question: "What did you think of Contador destroying his teammates?"
The cult of the cowboy has never been stronger.
LL Sanchez -- a nice 5th place.0 -

He should probably have just tried to tow everyone to the finish eh? What a joke Phil N Paul have become"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

I'm shocked Phil even said such a thing... he must feel all dizzy and confident in the presence of LA0 -
BTW, they're reporting that Radio Shack will be the announced sponsor of Lance's new team. I don't know if they have it in the UK or not, but it's an electronics/computer store. They originally started as a do-it-yourself electronics store but now they just sell phones/mobile phones, computers, tvs, etc.
The website teamradioshack.com is already registered to a cycling company in Austin Texas (where Lance lives) and they're saying that's Lance's company. It's CSE Cycling:

I know. Paul fulfills his PR/Communications role for Astana better now, then when he had the gig for Motorola.0 -

Yep he wore his teeth down grinding his teeth due to the pain, give the guy's their due. They may dope, but they ride on despite some very painful injuries. :roll:You live and learn. At any rate, you live0 -
