Rors - May 11, 2008 08:47 PM (GMT)
After kicking off yesterday with the Team time trial (!!??), Ricco in pink after the first stage proper.
And one for the "quelle surprise" file, Zabriskie crashed out today :doh:

Did he forget to put some wheels on his bike?
<_<

Might as well not have done. That man's a true liability!
McNamara That Ghost... - May 11, 2008 09:17 PM (GMT)
Won't ever forget his explots in Le Tour...

Of course, I mean..'exploits'
<_<

Benatti just heads off Grandpa Zabel in the sprint in today's stage.Pellizotti still in pink, but McGee crashes out!
McNamara That Ghost... - May 12, 2008 07:44 PM (GMT)
Zabel is still going? Does he have stabilisers attached to his bike these days?
Rors - May 13, 2008 05:15 PM (GMT)
Cavendish takes today's stage! :yikes: :good:
McNamara That Ghost... - May 13, 2008 08:13 PM (GMT)
:yikes:
Is David Millar riding? :lol:
Rors - May 14, 2008 04:50 PM (GMT)
Yep, and his chain broke today whilst he was in a 5man breakaway 1k from the finish!!
McNamara That Ghost... - May 14, 2008 10:38 PM (GMT)
Probably ran out of 'supplies'.
:whistle:
Rors - May 15, 2008 04:57 PM (GMT)
Priamo from a short breakaway gets the duke today. And Millar must have got a bad batch, finished 11 minutes down! . That's quite a hefty gap for a first week flat-stage..
McNamara That Ghost... - May 15, 2008 06:46 PM (GMT)
Obviously couldn't find any more supplies...
Rors - May 16, 2008 04:49 PM (GMT)
Boisio breakaway gets the W today, no change overall

101st...once again "just concentrating on the Time Trial".. :blink:

Rors - May 17, 2008 04:36 PM (GMT)
Ricco gets his second stage win, Visconti just staying in pink
Rors - May 18, 2008 04:01 PM (GMT)
Benatti gets his second stage win, just holding off Bettini and McEwen. No change overall
McNamara That Ghost... - May 18, 2008 08:00 PM (GMT)
Sprint stages currently then?
Coca Kolo - May 18, 2008 08:44 PM (GMT)
McNamara That Ghost... - May 18, 2008 09:51 PM (GMT)
What, we're completely different!
:whistle:
Rors - May 19, 2008 05:07 PM (GMT)
What, we're completely different! *ulp*
No sign of today's results yet..Yep still flat at the mo
McNamara That Ghost... - May 19, 2008 06:52 PM (GMT)
Was it a rest day? :unsure:

if it wasn't, then it was a very uneventful stage..!
Rors - May 20, 2008 04:56 PM (GMT)
Brushegin - not someone I know too much about - gets the time trial duke today,just heading off Contador by eight seconds. Kloden a furthr 12 seconds back.
The road takes an uphill turn tomorrow..
McNamara That Ghost... - May 20, 2008 05:15 PM (GMT)
Millar could stake a claim for last then.
Rors - May 22, 2008 06:34 AM (GMT)
Visconti crashed while in pink yesterday, possibly breaking his wrist, and still came in with a near-six minute overall lead! Bertolini got the stage. The conditions really were abominable
McNamara That Ghost... - May 22, 2008 10:16 AM (GMT)
Is Vesconti still going to continue the race? Credit to him if so. I mean Tyler Hamilton continued with a broken collarbone...but he had drugs to help him through it.
<_<
Rors - May 22, 2008 04:58 PM (GMT)
Yup Visconti still in pink.
Cavendish just missed out on second stage win today, as Bennati got his. And a sprint stage after a TT and a mountain one, this early in the event?!
McNamara That Ghost... - May 22, 2008 05:10 PM (GMT)
:blink: Quite a mixture then.
Rors - May 26, 2008 04:23 PM (GMT)
Contador now in pink after today's mountain stage...add your own end to this sentence!
McNamara That Ghost... - May 26, 2008 04:46 PM (GMT)
Rors - May 28, 2008 04:53 PM (GMT)
Another sprint stage today - they really are all over the shop.
Taken by Griepel, just ahead of Nosebleed Cavendish!
Albo still in pink
McNamara That Ghost... - May 28, 2008 06:16 PM (GMT)
Is Cavendish doing Le Tour?
Rors - May 29, 2008 04:46 PM (GMT)
Good old Jens Voigt, one of the finest watercarriers out there gets a deserved breakaway stage win today.
Another mountain stage tomorrow?!

Yup, I think he is
McNamara That Ghost... - May 29, 2008 04:56 PM (GMT)
A few collapses I feel, perhaps!
And oh, well good luck to Cavendish then!
Rors - May 30, 2008 05:10 PM (GMT)
Looks like Contador has run out of something :sarcy: Came in six minutes behind stage winner Kiryienka.
Now just four seconds ahead of Ricco overall, and the latter is a decent TT-er. Looks like I'll have to put myself through two hours of Sean Kelly tomorrow..
