So what's the deal with Jan's teammates sprinting off & leaving him? Can you imagine what would happen if a postie did that to Lance?
Noticed that Sheryl is back. She does look like his Mom & his ex-wife! Cookie cutter almost!

Stage 13 (Saturday 7/17)
To disable ads, please log-in.
Today was pretty exciting to watch. But tomorrow's stage is a doozie! The final climb is 15.9km (9.8 miles) at 7.8%. That climb starts after they ride 190km (118 miles). Yowza!!!!
Whew!!! I'm tired just from typing that!

LOL, after watching stage 13 yesterday morning I felt so drained I couldn't drag my lazy carcass out for a ride.Yowza!!!! Whew!!! I'm tired just from typing that!
But after watching today's "easy"
stage I felt energized and went out for a nice long one. At, I might add, my fastest-ever average speed for that particular ride.
( ... which must mean I'm one of those nits in the commercials who "dreams of riding like Lance" )

Said postie's next job would involve saying "would you like fries with that?"Can you imagine what would happen if a postie did that to Lance?

I thought I'd heard that if Jan continued not to do so hot, he was going to let one of his other team members take the lead anyway? So maybe that's the story?

Jan told Andreas Kloden to go, but T-Mobile luck and problems this year are strange to say the least. The worst was definetely the injury to Vinokurov, who last year caused huge problems on some stages with attacks so strong, no one could really respond. Remember it was Vino who was off the front, when Beloki took his tumble and LA went four wheeling in the farmers field.Originally posted by Dogmama

Secondly, they did not name Cadel Evans to the team, who I think would have been helpful in many of the climbs.

Thank you cycleaxa!
I totally agree! Cadel Evans would have been a brilliant inclusion on the T-Mobile tour squad, its just that after all his recent collarbone breaks (like last year) they were a bit nervous including him in case he crashed and broke it again which might have wrecked the rest of the season.
