Vuelta espana

[margo49]

Anyone else following the Vuelta?
TTT today and Carlos Sastre sets off tomorrow in the amarillo jersey
The gorgeous (tho' not as gorgeous as Ree-sharr Vee-ronque) Alessandro Pettacchi is back from his knee injury and Thor, Robbie, Stuey are there too.
Can't wait for the tough Pyrenees stages.
Spain is so wild (unlike France) - open space with nothing for miles sometimes as well as olive groves and citrus.

Hey Margo - si :) I am following the Vuelta.

Impressive start for CSC and Sastre. He generally does a good TT but not necessarily say top 10 - yet they won the stage. Well done. Plus think, this boy is now doing his 3rd grand tour of the season! Not just doing but being a real contender for each. Muy impressive :)

Well Virenque is no longer around but there are plenty of contenders for his spot. I'm very partial to Oscar Pereiro - love his eyes and smile. Not bad on the bike either!

Is it "on" anywhere? Nothing but Rodeo on OLN :mad:

Thor! Thor will SMASH!

(oooh, the sick sinking feeling in my heart for Floyd...)

Apparently, OLN's gonna cram the whole Vuelta into one presentation: OLN: Cyclysm 2006 schedule (http://www.olntv.com/nw/article/view/11040/?tf=nwArticle.tpl#Vuelta). Is Schmalz covering it?
