Wrong newsgroup?

Whatever happened to Christian Vande Velde? 8 minutes behind after
winning
yesterday solo?

Didn't make the front echelon the day Rabo split it up.

Didn't do well the day after that as well. Think he must have gotten sick..




Dumbass -


After a rider like that loses the chance to compete for GC and the
decision is made to go for stage wins, it's smart to save energy on
the days the stage isn't targeted.

IE: he may have done it on purpose.


thanks,

Note: "may" indicates that you don't know. So why don't you make another
half dozen excuses as to why he would lose 9 minutes on a stage.

That's right, I don't know.

He did say, however, that after the big loss the first day, he was
giving up on GC and going for stage wins. When racers are in that
mode, they take it as easy as possible on the days where they miss the
break.


thanks,

K. Gringioni.

rbr is going to be a lot quicker to read when we all stick to what we
know. I remember the expert from Britain that knew in the 1970s that
Merckx was going to kill the Tour, which as we all know was
discontinued in 1977.

Love it when people that know stuff just feel compelled to tell
everyone about it. You'd love the guy with the pamphlets that knocked
on our door on Friday. Didn't use the word 'may' even once. He knows.
Heaven, btw, is going to be a lonely place according to him, but I
know I'll see a lot of you guys down below. First drink is on me...

You know that they hold an ice cold beer 12 inches beyond your grasp...

Turned out to be pretty interesting for a Spring training race.

The trick is to fake an old baseball injury.

All,

Just don't get too excited about it or I'll have to say something.

Thanks,

I think in teeth. 12 teeth.

With 12 teeth, nothing is out of reach.

Dumbass,

People here believe things about Paris-Nice that make me shoot milk
out of my nose.
