    Are you thinking dog meat, or chihuahuas riding on cows on bicycles?

    Now you've got me thinking about the old Taco Hell commercials...

    All the teams pulled out of the Pro Tour. The teams at the TdF voted to do it, and then Astana said they would go along with the majority.

    OK, now Scott-American Beef has to be the MOST ridiculous name for a pro bike team. I doubt those guys are downing many cheeseburgers no matter how much they ride...

    It seems like it would be worth a look at least!

    All of these new sponsors are making me hungry for some Mexican grub -- i.e. American Beef, Chipotle restaurant chain, etc. -- but alas, all of which would make me, after an hour or two, er....as Phil says....Leeky-gas.

    Heh.

    Ha! That's what I was thinking the first time I heard it.
    But then.....I thought that was just me.

    So, le Tour is over. Oh sure, there's tomorrow but nobody will challenge. I'll be enjoying the traditional breakfast, getting to get up at zero dark thirty and head over to Spazzdog's place for bagels, lox and cream cheese and watch the last day of the Tour.

    Waiter, waiter!
    I'll take one order of beefcake, here, please!

    (heck, why stop at one!)...

    Ok, anyway, well, I will watch tomorrow's stage but sad that it will be anticlimactic. However, I actually found today's TT somewhat exciting.

    I know there's still the extended coverage to be shown on VS tonight, but is anyone else feeling withdrawal symptoms yet? I keep thinking about going in to work tomorrow and not pulling up a few live coverage sites as soon as I sit down at my desk. It's gonna feel strange to actually have to do some work in the morning, instead of goofing around following the stage and posting here

    I wish Versus could show all stages of the Vuelta like the Tour or the Tour of California. I mean who really watches Cage Fighting, Rodeo and Fishing. Okay wait my redneck cousins, brother in law and for fishing DH. But still! I need more wispy boys in lycra.

    I tried to watch that cage fighting once (don't ask), all I did was laugh hysterically. There was something comical about the way they grab anywhere, I mean the guy had his head in the other guy's butt and his hand on his crotch. Seriously, is this more manly that cycling? Why because the bleed? Wait cyclists do that on occasion.

    I must confess: I watch bull riding But if I had to choose between cycling or bull riding, cycling wins.
