Only if she hates daycare.

Even Lance twittered on Versus' poor coverage yesterday:

I heard from lots of folks that Versus cut off Tour of California coverage for hockey. Lame!

Hey was I the only psyched to get to see the women's race from the day before when Stage 1 could not be seen?? Awesome!

Yesterday, I was really disappointed to tape 3 hours of versus only miss the end due to a hockey game. Grrr!

Today I have the live feed from the amgen sight. Liking that a lot.

So far, I am very impressed with Lance. He is doing a great job as a domestique with Levi on his wheel (sometimes too close- OUCH!) so much of the time.

For anyone who's followed the last few days, Fatty's liveblogging again today.

Try cycling tv - at least they show the whole thing! Usually they have no or very few interruptions, unless there is a problem with the weather like the other day. The only downside of ctv is that it's live streaming video on the web, so it's supposed to be watched on a computer. BUT - you can always connect the computer to your tv to see the race on a larger screen

It ran over again today, but Versus covered the entire thing. Yay!

**Aint Doody** · 02-18-2009, 04:16 PM

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.

+1

I get back from lunch at 2 and with my work pretty much done for the day I enjoyed watching the Amgen coverage on my computer until 3:30 when I leave for home then resume watching it on tv.

I also caught the ladies race the other day. Despite the coverage mishaps, I am still finding the ATOC very exciting!!!!

Well, I ended up picking DD up from daycare on time. But, surprisingly, she watched ToC with me between playing. She kept pointing at the screen exclaiming proudly, "I do that. And I run too." That's my girl!

I'm so happy VS showed the finish!!!!

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.

**li10up** · 02-19-2009, 09:15 AM

Lance struggling? How do you figure? I haven't looked at today's stage but he finished yesterday in 4th overall and only 30 seconds behind the leader (Go Levi!). How is that struggling? I'd hate to think what the guys in 100+ positions think about that.
