Tour of California

[Aint Doody]

Yes! They showed the finish. How exciting. I find myself getting all up and leaning forward at the finish. Hurray for VS today!

OMG I'm gonna cry! My baby was supposed to win! He worked soooo hard! I caved and put it on a computer at the store because I couldn't handle it!!! Some inconsiderate customer had the nerve to want to buy things and I missed the end! Ugh, most courageous jersey boo!!! Stage win, it was supposed to be a stage win!

Alex the owner of the store we merged with was laughing at me! I was swooning, cheering, screaming, jumping up and down in full fan girl bloom. She said I looked like I was about to, um, eh hem, have a rather happy time. What? If I was born in the 50s back when girls swooned so bad they squealed and passed out at concerts I'm sure I would have. Being a product of the 80s this is my makeup for missing out on that.

*sigh* He used to shop at our store but has gone MIA. Hope that doesn't mean he didn't keep his puppies, or that he's not cheating on us at another store.

He needs a cooler kit. Brighter blue or something, looks too much like the rest of the team. Fire Michael Ball from designing the national champion, we had such high hopes for the kit! We were laughing at Phil and Paul commenting on it.

Nice of Tyler to share coke with the boys on climb #2. The Belgian didn't want any but I guess Jason needed a shot of Caffeine.

At least I could understand Cavendish today, normally I want subtitles for him and he is speaking English! When it came to a sprint I wanted Thor to SMASH again.

I love Freire, such a chipper little man and now out. And Kirchen he just looks nice, that was a big bummer. At least it wasn't big George.

Picked off RBR: "Overheard: "To have someone like him pulling in the wind for me at the end, there's no backing down, there's no excuses -- I have to come through." -- Levi Leipheimer on another personal motivator, teammate Lance Armstrong."

I loved when they shared the coke too!

Craig Hummer must stop saying they are breaking wind.

Did anyone hear the other day when they said Horner went to get a double cheeseburger with onions? I was wondering if it was In and Out? Maybe he is breaking wind if he is eating like that.

[smurfalicious]

It was In and Out Burger. That's my hometown boy! Eating like a trucker! LOVE IT!!!! Pity they won't be at the Cascade Classic this year seeing as how they should be at the TdF again.

Does anyone know what went down? Like how Tyler and friends not only got caught but swallowed? Looking at the results from yesterday it looks like he was in after the main peloton? I know their lead wasn't great but then like I said some rude customer made me miss it. I tried finding clips but they didn't fill in the missing info.

And yeah, Tyler's kindness is legendary around here. Doesn't surprise me, bummed that I missed it though. Sounded kinda cute/sweet.

I feel asleep when they got in the flats but it seems like the got caught coming into the final town. I woke up to see the sprint. The peleton made up a lot of ground descending. As you know they had a nice lead but not huge so they got gobbled up. I didn't think they got spit off the back, but again I slept after the last climb until the sprint.

I remember back before his suspension he was one of the nice guys of the peleton. It was funny, he cracks open the coke, drinks some, then nudges Belgian who shakes his head, he pedals up to Jason who happily takes it. It always makes me laugh when they are drinking coke because I crave Coke like a mad woman on long rides and centuries. I wanna slap someone for a coke! Too bad I don't have a team car to hand one off.

And how the heck do those guys unclip and stretch descending? Jason McCartney was unlcipped stretching a quad when the motorbike showed they were going 40 mph.

YES! I laugh every time he says that.

Is Garmin Slipstream still sponsored by Chipotle? Last year the speculation was that they were "wind" powered thanks to all those burritos...

[Aggie_Ama]

YES! I laugh every time he says that.

I think it is no longer a title sponsor but yes they are still powered by Chipotle. The burrito is in the back pocket of the jersey.

I wish we had thought to keep count of how many times he said it, that is what is getting more humorous. He is a guy he must know what he is saying.
