And now for the Funniest Moment of the 2005 Tour day France on OLN, brought to you by Paceline Chamois Butt'r:
During the post-race afterglow (er, recap) with Al, Bob, Paul and Phil:
Al...
Darn straight I'm ticked. That was bizzare, bogus, bull-oney beyond words. :eek:
Have to admit, as Vino raced for the finish I was joking with Lee that gee, do you think the TMobile management...
LOL Dogmama, don't hold back, tell us what you really think! :D
And nope, I re-fuse to take any credit for Basso's blowup, methinks that was his own doing. His time trialing is much better than...
But, poor Rasmussen aside, that was one thrilling TT !!
Good for Jan to show what he's made of.
Needless to say I was squealing like a little schoolgirl and happy dancing all over the living...
Poor guy. You could tell he wasn't all that accustomed to the TT bike, and that was a tough, tough course.
Still, considering how much time he spent not moving forward :eek: , he did very...
:D yes to both
I think that's great, but there you go. :cool:
I'd say, yes . Not to take anything away from Rasmussen, mind you, it's just that TT is such a specialized discipline - Basso (and all the other good/great time trialists) had to put a lot of...
Looking at the GC after stage 17:
1 Lance Armstrong (USA) Discovery Channel 72.55.50
2 Ivan Basso (Ita) Team CSC +2.46
3 Michael Rasmussen (Den) Rabobank ...
OK, now that first place is pretty much locked up :D anyone care to make any guesses, educated or otherwise, for second and third?
I dare not comment further lest I once again unleash the power...

I'm sorry for all my ranting.
This is sport, a win's a win, tactics play a huge part and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
And we get more George photo ops :D
Oops, my bad. Documented evidence that George actually did do a turn after all.
From the cyclingnews live commentary:

17:05 CEST 201km/4.5km to go
Caucchioli attacks the leaders!...
If he had contributed even a bit I wouldn't feel this way.
But the only time George was out front making any sort of effort was the last couple of hundred meters. It looked like he didn't even...
George sucked the wheels of the breakaway the ENTIRE time, he never once contributed.
He absolutely did not deserve that win at all, IMHO.
You know darn well if the situation were reversed and...
Michael Rasmussen is the only person in the world who can wear red & white polka dot shorts and still look skinny.
And here I thought you were kidding !!! :o :D
But, who IS that fetching looking lad with the angelic smile and the reeeally nice b-b-b...bike! Never seen him before in my life :rolleyes:
...
OMG it's hysterical!

Gotta love that Lance-centric media.
Five spoons!
eh, Bobby J's doomed. He'll probably get run over by the team car again this year.
Bjarne: " oops Bobby, terribly sorry, didn't mean to do that. Here, let me extend your contract. Care for a...
Harrumph!
No soup for you! :p
