Congrats, Jobob! It was fun to watch the stage this afternoon. Beautiful area. I wish we had hill out here, in Flatlandia.
Hopefully, starting tomorrow, NBC will air a replay of the stage. Else, I won't be able to watch it.

The quotes of Horner in this VeloNews article demeaned him in my eyes:

While he was being interviewed on NBC before yesterday's stage he suggested that Levi was playing possum -- wtf Horner?

I picked Tom Boonen to win today's stage. (Now that I've said it out loud, he's doomed. Sorry Tommeke.)

That is precisely the quoted remark that makes him sound very petty. Leipheimer had a fractured fibula not too long ago. He did not gain 20 lbs, that means he is "playing possum" and the fracture must not disrupt his training.

It's a compliment to Levi's abilities that he's still a threat.

Does not sound like he is joking (I did not see that NBC interview, jobob did; I read the article in VeloNews). But in this other interview he also casts some doubts about the leg being broken (forward to 1:35): http://video.bicycling.com/video/Chr...-of-California
Anyway, the man who won today is amazing! I managed to catch the final sprint.
