Wouldnt mention Rogers in the same sentence as Armstrong in regards t
climbing yet. I hope he has worked on his recovery for the Grand Tours
Needs to minimise his bad days more. Though im not too surprised wit
the result, i think this is the first year he has really specificall
worked on his climbing, plus i read that hes trying to up his cadanc
so he has something left when the shirt hits the fan at the busines
end of a race.

By the way, there are strong rumours (apparently it was said on Belgia
tv) that he has signed with T Mobile for next year. Dunno whether to b
too happy about that, he could join the non-German wasteland of G
riders at T Mobile

Gotta make sense of this post :), you mean a team that could take al
jerseys?

Rogers (GC), Evans (KOM), McGee, O´Grady, Cooke, White, McEwen (Green)
Crake (only other climber we got) Sutherland. Honourable mention t
Davis and Vogels but Sutherland´s TT is a tad stronger plus he ca
probably climb a bit better too.

Thats a team that could handle itself in the TTT and ITT (Evans if fi
is no slouch). Could also give enough mountain support for the GC gu
plus you have McGee, one of the best leader outs in the world, wh
could also stick around for the climbs. McEwen for Green with OGrad
and Cooke for the leadout and domestique business. Plus Sutherland
White and Crake for straight out domestique roles.

Speaking of which, Australia´s team for the World Champs will be one o
the strongest. Imagine a leadout of McGee, Vogels, OGrady and Cooke fo
McEwen. He should podium the race no questions asked.

Team "should" look something like (assuming theres 9 to a team) McGee
White, OGrady, Cooke, Davis, Wilson, McEwen, Vogels, Sutherland/Gates

Actually i half forgot about him. Take out Gates/Sutherland and put hi
in.

Trent Lowe would be a good chance in years time if he concentrated o
the road and raced in Europe. Wonder if he has plans for that. Though
maybe some teams would be interested in him after his Tour Of Georgia
Will Walker will be up there eventually also

Climbing is power:weight, flat ITTing is power:frontal area. *most*
good climbers are low weight, some are very high
power - Ullrich as an example of very high power and relatively
high weight, Mayo as an example of low weight. Armstrong
is somewhere in between. In a pure ITT effort (eg Sydney 2000)
Ullrich is probably faster than Armstrong, but during a grand tour
there's more at play than just a 1 hour effort.

Also, there's two types of climbing - pure ITT and explosive climbing,
sometimes an attacking climber (explosive) can break the resolve of
an ITT-style climber by surging away and then settling back into
a maintainable steady state - Pantani was good at this, maybe
drug-assisted though ... It's also a mental thing, remember last
year's TdF when Basso could go with Lance on the hills, but
got destroyed in the Alp de Huez ITT? That was considerably
influenced by Mayo's mental ability, I think.

Sometimes you can have both, but it's rare, and is usually
confined to GC winners in grand tours :)

Well it's all over now, with Aitor Gonzalez winning. From the report i
sounds like Rogers had a very tough last day, with no teammates to hel
him. Still, he's looking good for the tour, McGee is going really wel
as well, even claiming the mountains jersey at one point! Cadel Evan
was strong as well but just a little off the pace.

er... I dreamed about it that night though... saving that for my second
race (thought it'd be a bit rude to do it at my first race... don't like
to rub it in people's faces...)

I was planning on working on the fact that it's mostly men, so if I get
up the front early, they might be happy just sitting in behind... and
forget about the sprint... not good tactics?

mmmmmmm.....so has Purrrrrrth, & Ad(stone'dcrows)layd, but i
Brisvegas' a restaurant with a difference?

The Belgian Beer Cafe,Café Bluestone is on the ground floor of a 19t
century bluestone mansion that is home to the Institute for the Blind
and Sunday finds it beer gardens full of cyclists and it actually has
huuuuuuge bike rack.....plus monster oak trees ( hmm.... not too many o
dem Yourupeeein trees in Brizzy!), and if you want miss dem militerr
types the old Vic Barracks is just up the road, and JLO/DMO may kno
what they did with that special cami MTB requisitioned for Brisvegas!

....ach, we both agree Belgium's got distinct attractions
(for me it's De Konnick Bolleke, Vlaams, and frités).....* more li
smacking*
...Melbs just a bit closer!

A friend and I were watching Höllentour, and she said there should be
a female version of the Tour de France -- it is apparently known that
women have more stamina when it comes to endurance sports. I agreed
-- I want a chance to perve at the cute cyclists. The guys didn't do
it for me.

My most recent lot of mussels was at the BBC in Purrrrrth, made th

gig at Subiaco Oval too, (but that's another story!

Maybe an up-date menu reccy at BBC is in order for lunch tommorrow

"the plan"........post meet, ride across to BBC may work, its jus
across St Kilda Road too (off the Parisian-esque Boulevarde).....what
day...donation to charity, footy match, good goatage ( IPA IPA IPA)
pies, pizza, musica viva, a ride under oaks to frités and mussels wit
a Leffe or Chimay accompaniment!

Up until about a month ago, our *entire* centre used to think that it

Only Horner was really helping Rogers, and i think that was simply co
he had his own goals. Still, Gonzalez did extremely well to stay clea
on the downhill. They barely made any inroads into his lead on tha
descent. Maybe Rogers was watching Ullrich too closely was hi
downfall. Rogers was impressive throughout though, keeping a cool head
like when final climb he was dropped and was really impressive gettin
back onto the Horner group.

Rogers didnt get much help at all but other teams did not have man
helpers either. You can see why he is wanting to leave Quickste
though. Lefavere (spelling?) is a bit of a tosser at times, saying the
cant afford to paying want Rogers wants, no mention of the fact tha
there is barely any climbing or GC support at Quickstep

There was a female Tour de France just after the mens finished. I thin
it was about 2 weeks long but hasn´t been run for a few years now.

I thought women were disadvantaged in cycling coz of just biologica
factors. Like biomechanical differences, body fat etc... I really hav
no idea

Women in Australia are disadvantaged in cycling because not enough women
cycle. I'm going to turn that around. I'm going to be the biggest
distraction on the crit circuit!

So that means that you'll be cycling in the nuddie? Should help you race

No, dude, there's few enough of us that I think lycra should do the

I'm pretty sure I can think of some endurance activities that women seem
to excel at... I suppose you could call them sports...

Heh. Well it turns out I was just invited to parma and pot.

I always liked wine for lunch, but it does mean that I sleep the rest
of the arvo. And I still have another 10000 word project to mark. Ah
well, she gets $RANDOM*30.
