"Having things organized is for small minds.A genius controls chaos."

Oh I love that so hard.

Then the horse blanket thing. He's funny

And those accents can really get to a woman

Thanks for posting that.

Me too Zen- I would have quoted that same line but you beat me to it!

**Bike Chick** · 07-22-2010, 02:46 AM

He's such a great guy, isn't he? I just love him and then when he pulls the pictures of his kids out of the suitcase.....well, I just love him that much more

Can't wait to see what happens today.

He said, repeatedly, that if he wasn't the one who would be "chosen" on Radio Shack's team, that he would work for the leader. Now, he's saying he just wants to win a stage. I'm sorry, but that's just plain selfish. He's got enough yellow jerseys. Why not go out with a little class?

Winning a stage doesn't mean you get a yellow jersey.
And what's wrong with wanting to win a stage?
Probably every guy on that tour wants to win a stage.

Yep, remember those days...thank goodness for DVR. I am off today so will catch it intermittantly (since they rebroadcast multiple times), but try to save the end until tonight to was w GF and enjoy a drink!

And Jens...OMG he is so cute and funny! I loved that video...and the quote! And the comment about the blanket--that he would only use it on a horse!

Thanks all for sharing!

Anybody else notice that the sheep that nearly took out Contador was wearing Saxobank colors?

Has this race every been called on account of weather? I can't imagine careening down that descent into a cloud bank and not being able to see more than fifty feet or so down the road. Holey moley.

If anyone happened to walk by my front door during the last fifteen seconds of that race they would have thought I was having wild sex with a man named Andy.

They have no leader for GC. Levi is not up to the task and that's been obvious for a long time. So they shifted strategy and are going for team classification and stage wins.

It's not unusual for a team to shift strategy over the course of a grand tour when they find plan A not working out, whether due to injuries, illness, bad luck, etc.

Sometimes they will shorten or reroute a race if the weather is bad, especially in the mountains.

Yeah, but I think they want to protect Levi's Top-10 placement.

Too late for that...

But Chris Horner is now 8th. He is The Man.

**arielmoon** · 07-22-2010, 08:42 AM

LOL Zen!

Great stage today. I really wanted Andy to open a gap but AC really stuck like gum on a shoe.

LOL at the sheep crossing!

Great day for Chris Horner! He, Kloden, and Lance really trying to lock up the team competition.

I had the assistant farm manager and farm vet calling me every 1o minutes to get an update. At least I wont get in trouble for watching at work!!
