Discovery peaked too early?

They took KBK and 3 Days de Panne. Maybe too much, too soon for
Flanders Sunday, no?

There is some historical evidence of this. Only Van Petegem has done
the double recently (in 1999). He also won 3 Days in 2002 and was then
3rd in Flanders. Interestingly, Eric Vanderaerden won Flanders in 1985
and then won 3 Days 4 straight times (86-89) but never again saw the
podium of Flanders.

Your intelligence peaked too early - say about 15 years ago. Discovery
on the other hand is only returning on investment.

First Overall Stijn Devolder


Stage winner Ekimov
Leif Hoste one place behind Stijn in the TT as well.

George and Stijn have to be favorites.

I'd feel better if there was some sort of regression analysis to see
if its George's turn to fall down or get sick. This season so far has
a last man standing feel to it. Too bad Chung can't do a graph.

I barely candy-assed Freire as winner and he joined the riding
wounded. Boonen sounds like he is still feeling the pain.

Flanders redone and redux:
1. George H
2. Someone not bleeding, make it Erik Dekker
3. Someone not coughing, make it Hammonds because I think he can ride
into a place other than first, supporting someone else.

Finish in a bad mood - Boonen
DNF - PVP
DNS - Freire

George has already been sick, so if he won it's more like, "first man to
get back up"

Well, then. I feel better about picking George already. Well, finally
picking George.

Been pre-occupied with the US News & World Report hospital quality index.
Here's a little summary of some of the factors that go into determining
the overall index score (the factors are described here:
