Um, it was not an "automatic must love Lance" for me either. I simply admire what he has done with the Livestrong organization and find Contador annoying.Quote:

Jens Voight eats nails for breakfast. Just sayin'.
Just saw that Cadel had a broken arm. I guess that would explain the day.
What a stage. So happy for Andy and Levi.
No kiddin'!!Quote:

The man put everything into helping Andy and had nothing left. A true team player!
Jens is fabulous.
My heart really went out to Cadel! I love that Andy took the yellow.
I was yelling at the TV: SOMEBODY HELP HIM!!!Quote:

I think it's great that people are paying attention to the other cyclists. Would Jens get this attention if Lance had been in contention? And Cadel's broken elbow - I can't imagine staying in with that kind of injury.
So, even though it's sad that Lance had a run of bad luck, it's good for the other cyclists. Other than Contador, I'd be happy seeing any of the top 10 win.
Poor Cadel, I hairline fractured my elbow when I was 13 talk about pain! He is full of guts to say he won't abandon unless they think he will cause permanent damage.Quote:

I like Bob, too bad you have to get Craig to see his show. We just fast forward to Ask Bobke. Phil and Paul are way more interesting to me anyway, even if Phil seems scatter brained this year.
No wonder Cadel looked like he was going to heave for much of the race. Yikes.
I hope Jens got Most Combative for that stage. What a trooper.
Keep an eye out for Denis Menchov of Rabobank. I think he likes having no attention...kinda like a stealth rider.
Wonder what 'Strong will do with his freedom. I'd actually like to see him win a stage, or just mess with the top teams for Levi.
Jeez, CycleGod...no more injuries for these boys please.
I LOVE watching Jens! He is not a smooth cyclist...watching him time trail is like watching someone have a fight with their bike for miles and miles. He was awesome yesterday. So sad when he finally blew up...nothing left.
I don't wish for crashes or injuries...by my goodness this has been an interesting tour!
