Contador toys with the chicken near the end...it was amazing!!!!!!! Phil and Paul thought the chicken answered the calls....but contador toyed over and over again...and cracking the chicken was the goal. I know he chicken is a psycho......so the goal was to chip away at the morale....it was amazing!!!!!!!!!

code words:
" Marseille "

" peloton "

"belgium"

code word.



Did you see the massive pileup at the end today?? Whew!!!!
Robbie didnt get a win today, but his former leadout man, Steegmans won, who was leading Boonen out, but boonen took second. Exciting final 30K....lots of energy!!!

Levi will be there when the mountains start...georgie will start tomorrow, but was bruised pretty bad today in the pileup. Vaitkus is OUT (disco)...broken thumb or something. (baby)

cancellara is fine, still in yellow and feels ok.

Oh...the pugs belong to my client.... I was watching them.

Not yet.....but I thought you would like the illustration...ooops, i mean, ART!

Nice lookin' place.

Thank you! They are the coolest dogs on the planet... next to your puppy I am sure he's real nice.

Levi is signed back to Disco beginning next year

Ullrich is not giving up because he claims complete and total innocence. He will retire only after winning the Tour. SO, you have hope

WHOA!!!!!!!!!

looks like no more F L O Y D signatures on the yellow jersey...unless he prints his own when he gets home and sells fakes on ebay.

Need to go back and take a look at my list from yesterday....Oscar is on top now and others can do something. Suddenly there are 6 guys who can walk away with the Tour win!!!! Except for FLoyd, it is OVER! 8 minutes DOWN...YIKES!

Rasmussen won the stage and ONCE AGAIN did the whole jesus thing at the end....holding his arms out...tilting his head back and appeared to be crying with a gasp of...."my god my god, why have you forsaken me?"

ooooh!! good luck and have fun!

Hey there

Did they say the codeword for the day yet? I havent seemed to notice.

The peloton is slowing sorting out, but i am still waiting for discovery to attack...according to bruyneel......they will attack......come on! JUSt GO!!!!

Thanks for the password I never saw it myself I fell asleep for about 30 minutes in the mountains....I was waiting for an attack today...but i suppose tomorrow is the most difficult day and look to see Discovery to do something strong..if not....it will be over and i hate being a skeptic. Lance...where are you??? GEt THE HELL OVER TO FRANCE and shake 'dem boyz up a little..they seem to respond better when they are yelled at.

that is one thing they are slacking on here at SG. at least on myspace you can delete a blog if you don't want it posted anymore.

Thats a funny quote about George...but sad at the same time because I wish they had better.....ummm...not luck....just better performances today. Again, I like Floyd, but I want to see George win. I read that Lance will be heading back to show support for the team AND for cycling in general. Quite frankly, I am a bit surprised Lance isnt already there, from the beginning? He owns half the team. Yeah the guys need to win it without Lance on the bike but he is the number one living role model...next to Eddie Merckx. Ok, Floyd has one minute advantage....right now. We'll see

I was laughing yesterday when Paul Sherwin was "looking for Harry Potter in his cloak", speaking of McEwen hiding in the sprint

Chris Kringle...i mean, angel...mind freak. Yeah, I must admit...its mind-boggling Perhaps he IS the real magician?

I wish I could spend a week in Florida right now.....ok, maybe its hot, but at least i would see the ocean

The password is: Leipheimer

That's a funny pic of the cyclists taking their "Nature Break". I never really thought of Lance Armstrong as a guy who had to go to the bathroom. I thought he was some kind of weird superhuman who was above the rest of us and our gross bodily functions. Hmmm... I got some thinking to do...

Today's word is "PHONAK"

I just read about this incident from yesterday...fighting over mountain points:

Fisticuffs over mountain points?
The duel over winning the polka-dot jersey for the best mountain climber may be more intense than expected. That the riders fight it out on their bikes is normal, but they don't usually literally fight it out while on their bikes. According to CSC's Jens Voigt, that's exactly what happened yesterday.

The two who got it on yesterday without boxing gloves were Walter Beneteau of Bouygues Telecom, whose teammate Jrome Pineau is leading the mountains classification and Saunier Duval's David de la Fuente, who is second in the rankings. The two mixed it up previously, being fined for "irregular behaviour" on Wednesday.

Writing on www.sports1.de, Voigt described the scene this way: "Today the two were riding next to each other and all of a sudden, the Spaniard hits Beneteau full in the face! It was really loud, just like in a boxing match! Beneteau's helmet and glasses practically flew off his head! He swerved, because of course he hadn't been expecting anything like that."

"Behind them everyone was shouting, 'Hey, are you crazy? If you're going to fight, go to the side of the road! Leave us out of your problems!' Beneteau didn't blink an eye but went directly to the commissaire. I think, that they will throw de la Fuente out of the race."

I agree, i think he needs to be thrown out...thats a given if you fight physically.

Did you notice, in the last 3km of todays stage...the whirling bungee people...spinning and whirling up and down. Phil Liggett made a comment he doubts these people will remember the tour

Devil guy> I didnt see that edition of bicyling yet but that funny about Zabriskie interviewing Floyd, since they used to be roomies in Spain! AND they used to blow off training sometimes, until Lance got wind of it. They were riding for Lance and Floyd didnt yet have a real focus..Lance knew he had potential and after Floyd and David Z were drinking something around 15+ cappucinos, Lance called Floyd and said,"you are riding with me tomorrow". Its a real nice story in Lance's second book, "Every Second Counts".

The devil guy....he kind of sold out. The last I saw him he was wearing a green outfit, apparently sponsored by an oil company? (BP?) But its cool that he is passionate about something.

I would love to the the Tour caravan which runs the course before the stage and has alot of weird vehicles. Oh nooo....they wont stop playing Lemond!!!!! HE is now saying he could have won 10 Tours and it wouldnt have been enough.

Do you ride?
