I was beginning to warm to Levi, who I now dub Mini Mekon.
For once, his decending was the best.
Twice. 2004 and the "juicy" 2006.
He's a one man, giant walking billboard FU ad against the anti doping movement.

not sure about his handling skills but i dont think it matters when youre pounding out 450 watts and youre 60 kilos. |

+1!
So far i've been happy with Kreuziger... Nibali wasn't so far off the pace either- so Liquigas are looking good.
Riis will be the gutted one tonight. Hopefully Menchov can do something around 20s back and be satisfied with that.

Unless it rains in the next 15 minutes.
Chavanel's rear wheel is cool. Liking these pretty disc wheels.

| If Kloden wins the MJ then break has a good chance to succeed on Sunday. |

Schleckette has done really well. Yup, they is parlaying about rain on the way.
Could spoil the party.
Cape, they need a health and safety nulification. Get on the blower, quick! |

Gettin' in every dig you can today, HuwB? As long as you're not wishing for rain.
You're going to crash your bike soon, I can feel it.
Vladimir Karpets has great hair, doesn't he?
Is wagging your tongue on the bike a specifically French thing? Chavanel went to the Virenque school, apparently.
Cadel Evans the Tour Merde winner goes.

If anybody has FP'd Kloden, we know we have his doctor amongst us.
Weather is holding, just, as the we have the creme caramel contenders en route. |
