YAY YAY! I was "watching", too. Amazing. What an exciting racer to watch. He just doesn't leave anything out there - he uses everything he's got every time.

He just blasted them all down the classement!
Nice the way he "gave " Kasshechkin the "win" over the line. He (K) rode well too.
Had hopes for a few moments that Iban Mayo might "do something", but it came to nothing.
What a climb! What scenery! Total moonscape and that section above the clouds and then descending back down into and through them was just brilliant to watch!

Just saw the ITT on Eurosport!
Wow! 6 seconds! Unstoppable!
Btw there was this *woman* who gave him a kiss at the finish and then another one just b4 he went into the testing hut.
Of course *I* am faithful to *my* Ree-charr Vee-ronque. I am just telling the rest of you so you are not under any illusions.Last edited by margo49; 09-16-2006 at 05:45 AM.

*I* am faithful to my JaJa.
However, there's something mindlessly handsome and charming about Vino. I like his proportions better than Jaja's. But Jaja has that classic French pout...Sarah

You people are so lucky - I have to watch through your words and the reports on velonews/cyclingnews etc
Why doesn't SKY network cover this???? We got every single minute of L'Tour... you'd think a few highlights packages would be easy to slip in!
And yes... Vino is pretty fine...
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

We in the Underchieving States are not watching the Vuelta live. Only Margo is, I believe. We have to watch through cyclingnews.com or if you bought Cycling.tv.
