Hellooooo? Anyone watching the Tour?

I kind of like Sastre. He has a custom saddle that says "Papa Mejor". I just think that is so sweet, lots of men have kiddos but he is REALLY proud to be a daddy. The Schleck boys will probably both win the tour at some point, they are so young and so good. I believe Sastre hasn't done anything the whole tour because that was CSC's plan, he trained all year for the tour and then reserved every ounce of energy for Alpe D'Huez. Not as fun as fireworks but smart. Poor Cadel and VandeVelde didn't have anyone in the mountains. I think Christian could be in yellow is Garmin was just stronger, I still hope he could pull off a miracle and knock Kohl off the podium.

Another thing- could Kohl look anymore ridiculous climbing? The alien glasses and bobble head swinging freak me out. Even Paul commented on his riding style. Not nearly as funny as last year with Soler "That man cannot make riding a bike look good." or something like that.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... Also, (and believe me that I know this is mean and superficial) but he's just not an attractive guy. I wish he'd just get his teeth fixed! That's 90% of his look problem right there. I guess I'm just spoiled cause it seems like all these bike racers are so damn cute... But, really, his team seems to be okay in the funds department. They should get him a good dentist with part of the proceeds of the KoM prize.

My husband keeps ranting about his teeth. It is mean but funny. He gets up and my husband shouts "Oh god the teeth again, what the heck is with those- ahhhhhhH!". I like how they say he is a chimney sweep in his off season. Does he really get paid so little or is he just bored?

Perhaps he enjoys it. I can picture him looking like D-i-c-k Van D-y-k-e in Mary Poppins... "Chim-chiminey, chim-chim-cheroo"...

(I can't believe this board was going to *** the name of such an inocuous actor )

I was wondering if anyone would mention Kohl's teeth...maybe now that he's been inthe spotlight they will get them fixed. In one of the earlier stages one of the riders that won (or was close)--well his "teeth" looked a bit funny, then on the podium you could see he had braces. He probably just now can affort them. I think if you calculate the hours these guys put in and divide that by their pay...it ain't much unless you are Lance, Sastre, Cadel, or the like!

This just in from VeloNews live coverage:

04:35 PM: What's for dinner?
Well, we know what the (remaining) guys on Saunier Duval will be eating. It appears that the team will be co-sponsored by the American Beef Council, the group responsible for promoting the consumption of American beef both in the U.S. and abroad.

So Saunier Duval-Scott becomes Scott-American Beef.

04:43 PM: Oooooo
Harold H writes in regarding the Beef team;
Does this mean they'll have a jersey on their jersey?

OMG---thanks for my "AM break at work" laugh!
I am now hearing moo-ing in my head on this one!
