Yes but I expect you to be running through the sprinklers or sliding off the slip and slide into the mud! And none of this crap about "I stepped on a bee", whine whine whine.

 

Also who ate all the damned steroid popsicles in the freezer???

I mentioned this to my dad and without missing a beat he said "Maybe all lance needs is a shot in the arm."

 

By the way, Lance just said this from twitter: "Getting a post-race massage now. Listening to Ryan Adams and the Cardinals." Traitor.

I am not cheering for Lance. I think there are at least two better riders on his team, and they should not defer to him just because he's the big media story. I'm hoping Contador and Leipheimer both leave him in the dust as they get into the mountains, and maybe Klöden too.

 

As for today, it's all about team. Astana and Columbia ought to have quite a battle, maybe SaxoBank too.

I am cheering for him and he kicked some serious arse today. Mucho work on the front. He may seem like an asshole to the public but he knows how to motivate his teammates.

 

His team won the TT, Astana has 5 riders in the top 10, and he is within 1 second from yellow. Contador has a shot if his head is working, Levi peaks too early, and Kloden is kind of the unknown quantity right now. He used to be a contender, could be a surprise.

What a deliciously muscular sprint to the finish today.

 

Also: I have no idea what LA is listening to now.

 

 

This morning Lance was listening to Iron Maiden. Cadel Evans? "ABBA, on the radio." It showed.

 

Another rider (forget who) twitted that he was listening to Wilco while previewing the TTT stage before lunch.

 

Poor team Bbox!
