Great News for T D F Fans

Bobby J. has moved up to 3rd in GC at Paris-Nice (happy dance ensues)

Jaksche is a minute back, Vinokourov almost a minute and a half. Not that I have anything against them, but one must have priorities ....

Tippy tappy happy toes (my version of the happy dance)! I'm so thrilled that Bobby is doing so well the last several months. Maybe one of these days, the press could lead off with news of the best performances rather than the whereabouts of Lance. Yeah, he has a cold. Probably half the pack also in that horrible weather. He always treats these rides as training/warm-up rides so let him do it peace and give the column space to the guys going for the podium.

I watched the show on the 11th, I haven't rewatched it from the recording I made. I will do that tonight after work. I'll have to be more careful of what I say
what's the saying about a tranquil mind? By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered. . . . . no tranquilty here today so my mind is out of order today! sorry about the incorrect info! Wishful thinking on my part at the time?!

susan.... it's not a big deal... sorry if you took it that way.. actually.. when it was a big deal was on other forums people were saying immediately after the show that lance was riding this year.... which of course we didn't know! lol! AND.. you aren't the only one that "heard" it that way... a lot of people did and were posting about it all over the internet! you are in good company! *grin* but all is good now.. cuz we know this is the year he will fulful his one tour while under contract with discovery! i, for one, and excited that he is riding (and i thought he'd be a fool to take a year off.. get a year older.. and try to ride!)

Tell me about getting older caligurl! Ah youth! I envy my two kids (20 and 22) they don't realize the potential and power they have right now! On the other hand, hubby and I (ahem 50ish ) find each spring a little harder! I am excited though that I will be able to watch Lance ride up L’Alpe d’Huez once again this July. Has the course for the 2005 TDF been released?

Bien sur! 2005 Tour Route

happily there are other races besides the TdF, even if Lance isn't riding in them

SadieKate, care to join me in the Happy Dance conga line?



Well, yes, I was up at 6:30 on a Sunday to read the live Paris-Nice commentary stream on my computer ... what, you think that's strange?
