briefly looking over that list.. there are a TON of different riders that could win this race..
Cancellara, Pozzato, Petacchi, Farrar, Allan Davis, and half of BMC (Hincapie, Ballan, Burghardt, Kroon) should all be mentioned..

Park the trainer in front of the television.
Also,
Sometimes I follow sporza or eurosport for clips and race highlights. I can hardly stand to watch versus, don't have cable or anything, so that's not really an issue.

Dammit. I need to find somewhere to watch this.
Speaking of class, holy shit this picture on VeloNews today.

Devolder: backed.
The Badger... amazing as always.
Stijn looked better in the kit, for sure
Bikes suck. Don't ride one.
End of T-A stage 2 was awesome.
Anyone else watching the YouTube channel of Team Sky Fans?
They post the last 5-10km of every day's stage, usually within a few hours of the finish, and the commentary is in English.
I'm loving it.
Bikes suck. Don't ride one.
^ thankyou!!!

ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK! Wait, isn't that protester a woman?! ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!

Apparently Jens isn't racing the Critérium International because his team is doing other races.
“Can’t I just start alone? I don’t need a team. All I need is a mechanic and a car!” Voigt told VeloNews. “I can take the jersey on the first day, then I can just hide in the bunch, then you do a time trial. You don’t need anybody else.”
Then he talked about how moving the race to the warm and beautiful island of Corsica would affect him:
“They’ve changed the race quite a bit. Normally, it was the flat stage Saturday, with a hilly stage on Sunday. Now they have the mountain stage on Saturday, and Sunday morning is just a 70km flat crit, so it doesn’t fit so perfectly into my abilities like it did before,” Voigt said. “Plus, they are going to have stupid, warm weather down there, and I don’t like that. I like it to be hard, nasty and stressful, that’s good for me.”

Liquigas crushing it today!

Yes. teamskyfans are awesome for posting these clips. I don't have cable, so this is where it's at.
That was one fucking 20 year old kid riding away from the pro peloton. That's not supposed to happen. Brilliant move.
...shift like jesus making one set of footprints in the sand in your time of need
he's been doing damn well, exciting to watch
Thank goodness for steephill.tv; I saw that too! Sagan's only 20 and wasn't it his second stage win @ Paris-Nice? He deserves a HI-5!
Sounds like something you'd say.
LOL. Stay right there. Imma go put some cones out. - Heath

Benatti won the sprint at T-A the same day. F'ing textbook leadout by his team too, after they did all the work for Boonen the day before. (oops)
Bikes suck. Don't ride one.
I really really REALLY hope Sagan is not too good to be true. His meteoric rise reminds me a bit of Ricardo Ricco and we all know how that story ended.
Its sad that when a talent like this arises from nowhere (yes I know about his accolades as a mountain biker but that does not often translate to pro tour success) I can't help but feel suspicious.
Great photo.
^The caisse d'epargne rider's pain face is awesome.
I hadn't even given it a thought until now. Thanks. Your suspicious nature is contagious.
...shift like jesus making one set of footprints in the sand in your time of need
I thought Scarponi's attack on that climb was fucking rad. Like I said that while watching it. "Fucking rad". Tirreno-Adriatico is turning out to be a nice little race.
I have been let down too many times. I really liked that little fucker Ricco and all his stupid antics. Before that Botero and Mayo were two of my favorite riders. I've been on the defensive since Puerto.
I really want to believe that some hard-as-fuck 20 year old ex-mtb racer kid is really strong and also really smart, came into good form early and was able to take a couple stages at P-N without any special help.
It looks like Contador is able to win a one week race without the benefit of a decent team. One wonders if he can win a three week race solo.
...shift like jesus making one set of footprints in the sand in your time of need
Not gonna lie, I was hoping that Cadel would pull off a win, but he made kind of a dumb move.
Should make for some very interesting racing. There were no Astana riders anywhere near him today.
LOL. Stay right there. Imma go put some cones out. - Heath
edit2: dont GIS, i did, dont. NSFW - Miguel
Astana riders were too busy taking 1st and 3rd today over in Italy to bother helping Contador win Paris Nice. When July comes you can bet Astana will bring their A game.
where's vino imo?
He's doing Tirenno Adriatico.
Sagan's two wins, especially as a young rider isn't shocking to me especially if you compare him to Emilia Fahlin. Frankly, I'm surprised to hear that anybody dopes nowadays. Have you seen of all the testing they do nowadays? Quite extensive!
Here are some lulz from stage 5 @ Tirreno-Adriatico. Fast forward to about 40 seconds or so...
rhetorical question imo
That was a great finish, watched the stage replay on the TV last night. It's a shame they only have a 1 hour block as they have to make way for 11 hours of indoor track-n-field. They only spent 3 minutes showing a Cat 1 climb that was snow lined then went straight to the last 30k.
Man there were some people struggling for the last climb, it was great to watch.
This is really getting to me. I heard my cable co just added versus! A month after I cancelled it :(
Oblivious response imo
(wft is imo?)
imo is not atmo
Indeed, that finish was epic.

Don't tell me there are not still cheaters out there.
Maybe that's because whomever is doing the testing is going back and testing older samples? Like, we're testing you today and we're happy to report there were no signs of banned substances in your system. However, when we tested your urine samples from 2007... we found this, that and the other thing... :-X
Ughhh... I'm so naïve.
I think you should intern with White Folks for a while.

White Folks can initiate you into all manners of doping but they won't necessarily be performance-enhancing...
performance mitigating drugs
