If you want to see the final 9, you have to sit through over overly dramatic and slow video. Give me a break. I've been slowly losing respect for Bruyneel over the years. The hype he pulls just drives me crazy.

I made it through about 5 seconds of that! Are they racing bikes, or landing on Normandy? Originally Posted by SadieKate

Oh that's perfect! Someone on bikejournal just said my comment about the video was sour grapes, and I responded about the media making sports into a life/death drama, that athletes are not heroes unless they save someone's life.
You should post that. It's going to make me laugh all day.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

All I know is it gives me something to look forward to. I mean I tape the TdF and then put the bike trainer inside, infront of the TV and I pedal away. Even the kinda boring flat stages help me to ride. It passes the time. And there is always fast forward!
Said that so little bike racing is actually telecast that we have to gooble up every little piece!
I think/hope it will be interesting. And who knows....it may be someone we least expect. I always find that fun! But yes, it will be nice to watch Lance ride the TdF one more time. He is what got many of us "hooked".katluvr

Seriously, it was what, 5 minutes long?
I figured Horner was out since he mentioned on twitter last night that he had left Colorado and gone back home instead of staying to train with Lance and Levi. I guess the broken leg did him in.

No Rubiera, who postponed retirement to ride for Lance, either. Originally Posted by SadieKate

Of course there's the obligatory Kazakh, probably taking Horner's or Rubiera's or Brajkovic's "spot."
