A few have finishes the ride - and I’m along for the day.
We shall see what we see.
It’s up to each rider now. CE has finished his test run of the course.
AH yes, the course has been scoured for Syringes, creams, scrotum patches and transfusion kits!!! Let the race begin.
Seriously - hope to see some great efforts today. Obviously I would love to see a Levi miracle, but realistically I will settle for Levi on the podium and a teammate in yellow. Evans is a fast time trailer though and could make it interesting for first.
OMG, did you just see that commercial for the show on E with the women talking about screwing guys? That was surreal. Yuck.
It's an incredibly vulgar commercial to be running during an event that has a lot of young kids watching. Versus ought to be ashamed of themselves to have accepted it. Do they want to force parents to put their channel on lock? How stupid is that?
It just ran again. I’m shocked it’s on tv. That’s California culture I assume. Not only does something think like that, but they are proud of it? Fall of Rome.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for Levi.
Go Levi!
Go Go Levi!
I don’t think he can put the time into Evans (and no way into Contador) but I’d love to see him do it! Great first time check.
Levi’s turning it on...
Great second time check too. How far apart did the last riders take off? Was it 3 minutes? This no TV thing bites.
Levi’s got 35 sec into Evans at time check #2. Woo Hoo!
I think so. No tv?
Outrageous!
This is amazing. Levi just passed the rider before him...who left 3 minutes ahead...and he’s only 2:49 from winning the tour overall. I bet tomorrow is an actual race.
So at 35 k Leipheimer has taken one and a half minute of Contador’s 2 min 50 s lead and 35s of Evans’s 59 s lead. This could get really interesting.....
(Is TV deprived at the moment so I’ll have to follow the race via the net.)
What’s the weather like?
There was a little rain earlier. Looks great now. Levi is scorching the road, so it’s dry as a bone!!!!!!
Leipheimer just passed third time check: taken another 22 s of Popovych (4th at TC #2) and 33 s of Karpets (3d at TC #2).
Interestinger and interestinger. :-)
As soon as the bike stops they put a mike in his face. Let the man breath.
