― Mark C, Friday, 27 June 2008 09:59 (sixteen years ago)
can I get odds on 2 stage wins for Cavendish?

B-b-but, can McEwen really get malliot vert with no team backing him up?

Evans is not only a 'wieltjeplakker' (what's the English term for someone who always rides defensively within the group?), if he were to win the Tour, you'd always think: "But Contador would have kicked his ass."
― Martijn ter Haar, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 12:22 (sixteen years ago)
to be fair contador didn't really kick his ass last year. wasn't it like the closest margin ever? 20 seconds or something

the word is wheelsucker
i give this to evans, he tries sometimes to open it up, its just that others are so much more explosive. he and leipheimer are like the same rider, i actually think evans is slightly better all rounder.

From Millar's diary, a conversation about the crosswinds with McEwan during the stage:
RM: ‘I bet there isn’t one guy racing today who woke up and looked out the window and thought, “YES, YOU BEAUTY!”’ ME: ‘Yep, this is shit…’ We both pause. RM: laughing ‘Well actually, Jens probably did.’ Then we both start laughing and say at exactly the same time, RM + ME: ‘YEAH, HE DOES THAT EVERY DAY!’ RM: laughing ‘Animal.’ ME: laughing ‘Freak.’ That had us chuckling for a few more minutes and says so much about the man, the machine that is Jens Voigt.

Thoughts on today, gents? Or should I just post on the ILE thread?
― Mark C, Monday, 7 July 2008 12:20 (sixteen years ago)
standard flat day so far. the valiant 14 minute breakaway is being reeled in. It's a bit wet and the chopper pilot must be a bit bored as he is doing lots of low swoops over the french countryside.

so i don't really know shit about bike racing, but i've been trying to follow this. my local is one of the few bars in the city that's showing the tour every night (bartender is my pal, and friends with a lot of messengers/bike dorks).
all i can say is that ricco chasing down lang was some baller shit.

so psyched on vandevelde.
― cutty, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:38 (sixteen years ago)
I watched it all. Jens Voigt is the wrongest dude ever.
― wilter, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:09 (sixteen years ago)
As Sherwin and Liggett were saying it was thanks to vandevelde's accelerations at the end that Evans is now in yellow.
I'm psyched for Schleck.
