“It will be a difficult day because I haven’t trained so much with the new bike and it will be a full-hour’s effort,” he said. “I know that with my current shape and with a little-used bike, I cannot draw conclusions that are too accurate.”
He has never done well during the Dauphine long TT; soundly beaten last year, and 35th in 2007....0 -
Laszlo Bodrogi is now apparently French?0

One of his parents is French I think. He has French nationality. Changed last year I think - I remember the French commentators being happy about that.Contador is the Greatest0 -
No, it's because he's lived long enough in France to get French nationality. Same for BBox's Yuri Krivtsov (sp?), no French relations at all but residency/naturalisation.frenchfighter wrote:afx237vi wrote:Laszlo Bodrogi is now apparently French?

OK, cool. I was actually more surprised by the fact that Laszlo Bodrogi is still riding. I thought he had retired for some reason.0 -
Sammy Sanchez loses more than a minute..................... at the first check point0
-
They've had some well dodgy roads in the Dauphiné this year.0

Does look a bit rough here.
Who's on commentating duties with Magnus?Le Blaireau (1)0 -
Ah, McCrossan. Good stuff.Le Blaireau (1)0

Blimey, Menchov finished only 11 secs off EBH. Looking at the other times, EBH's was great.Contador is the Greatest0

WTF is up with Samu Sanchez? That's an awful time.
Millar faster than Biggles at the check...."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Millar 19 seconds faster than EBH at the first checkpoint.0
-
I'm getting back ache watching Jerome Coppel riding. His position is far too low at the front.0
-
Soler loses 23 minutes.0
-
Go Millar! (PTP hat on).
Jurgen van den Broeck also going very well... could be interesing for the GC, especially with Horner and Sammy S riding crap0 -
Soler must have had a bad crash to lose so much time. That's him eliminated, by a country mile.
Which begs the question: If he's that hurt, why carry on when you've got no chance to make the cut? :?"Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Cataldo had a nasty crash... ouch.0

Magic, just because you are watching on ES HD, that does not mean the Dauphiné is being broadcast in HD. Even if the picture is better than SD, which indeed it is.
How was that?0 -
