Go Cadel!!!!

[Geoff Lock[_2_]]

Damn I missed the bit where Cadel actually got ahead of Voeckler on the
downhill during the last 10 or so kms.

He took a detour = I think it was that same blokes back yard again.

Hahahahah!! :) I see, Cadel must have gone straight ahead thru the car
port and thru the house whilst Voeckler had to tun around to get back on
track :))

Up to 100kph downhill, apparently !! Ffff^^^^^(*&^%%(kkkkk!!!!!

On another note, seems like Contador is trying to make up his 3mins or
so in the mountains and maybe, at the time trial. I can't see how he is
going to do it, really. I mean, he is coming back strong but it don't
seem to be gaining him any time at all. Who knows, maybe tonight might
be different, eh?

Still 3 mins seems a lot of time for a field of this caliber. Kinda
makes me wonder what would have gone down if Contador didn't have the
bad luck he's had at the start of he tour.

That wasn't a good reply. It was Voeckler who had the backyard tour.

Look just how long Cadel has taken to claw back, just a little lost time.

Sorry, what I meant was Voeckler had to chuck the U-ee in the backyard
whilst Cadel just went thru the lot so fast I didn't see it :)

Trying to think who the fellow was, that did the same backyard before
Voeckler. Oh well, I guess it'll come to me as soon as I've spent 2hrs
trying to look it up. :)

A bit of interesting reading for you.

Thanks for that. I also caught a snippet on SBS showing a closeup of the
time trial bike Cadel is going to ride and, man, it looks awesome. Only
about 12000 Euros or so, apparently.
