TDF Discussion - here be spoilers

Lance might give AC a run for his money.

I mean as in the overall race, the old man has lost his edge, but just by a sliver.

One of Contador's tweets said "And now the matador shall dance with the blind shoemaker!"

Thank you so much for the link to Schmalz!

I was chanting THOR WILL SMASH while watching today's stage.

What in the world does that mean? Clearly, he's the matador, but after that I can't wrap my poor little brain around it.

Oh, don't fret. It's a reference to a movie about another type of race

Just watched the recap. My silly SO was feeling puckish, unlike me, he is qualified to comment on tactics and such since he was a professional for some time. He is very disdainful of Contador's decisions and tactics. He sure has the legs and youth to beat them all, but Lance may make some smarter decisions. And, in the future, Contador may have problems finding teammates.

+1 on Andy Schleck being the cutest thing ever. Too bad I have too many years on him.

It might just be my being exceedingly slow, it's morning after all, but why did that Schmalz guy write SMASH behind Thor's name?? Is it an in-joke or what?

I think that may be a reference to Thor the god of thunder (and rain, as we saw yesterday -- Thor <3s wet asphalt!).

[Trigress]

Oh, ok, I've always thought "CRACK" would be more like the sound of thunder, but ok, I get it.
