Millar Line Rest Day 1: yr humble servant is a dumbass

[Ryan John Cousineau]

So, how does everyone feel about the quality of today's rest day? I think
Millar is resting wonderfully, and therefore will assume that everyone is
clean today.

True story: I haven't been looking forward on the Tour sked very
attentively, so I was (as is my habit) watching a bit of OLN's tour
coverage on TV this morning, and was excited to find out how the stage
turned out once I got to work.

I was genuinely surprised to find out that it was a repeat.

So, shall we look forward? I've already staked a semi-prediction that Count
Floyd will go all the way, and now I have a new reason: it would be in
keeping with the tradition of previous American GC champions:

-Greg won the tour with only one lung
-Lance won the tour with only one nut
-Floyd could be the first man to win the tour with only one hip

What's with these accursed and gimpy GC riders? I half expect that Hincapie
will finally make the leap to GC racer after a freak farming accident
shears his head off, but he somehow survives. Zombie George Hincapie will
go on to show better in the mountains thanks to the loss of useless
upper-body mass, and Phil and Paul will comment on how much more tactical
acumen he seems to have post-accident. The podium girls won't like it so
much, though.

Meanwhile, I think the Gerolsteiner DS is looking for something he can
break on Levi Leipheimer's body....

The plus to this is that sans head, he'll have no way the wear the dreaded
glasses.

Hey yeah! I never thought of that. Plus, I bet his TT performance
improves.

Is there any downside?

Well, with another winning rider Laff@me will have another person to accuse
of doping?

LOL, absolutely hilarious... POTM. I laughed so much that I,
wimpyVO2max, am left gasping for air. Again.

He'll still have to wear the helmet. "All helmets, all the time." The
downside is having to watch Frank and Tom and Bill go at it.

Where will he wear his (compulsory) helmet?
