Healthnet Train has NO FXXKING CLUE!!!
http://www.velonews.com/race/dom/articles/7659.0.html
"""In a bold move, Tim Larkin (Kodak Gallery-Sierra Nevada) soloed off the front with eight miles to go, keeping a thirty second gap for two miles. Health Net moved to the front of the pack and their train of six sacrificed half their men in a massive effort to reel Larkin back into the field. With just four miles to go, the road narrowed into a single lane and elbows started to shove. The solo break was absorbed and with three miles to go the red and green men (Colavita-Sutter and Health Net) duked it out, with Health Net sacrificing yet another rider for its sprinter Gord Fraser. But Haedo timed his move nicely and passed Fraser at the finish to take the win, denying the Canadian sprint ace a chance to win for the second day in a row. Webcor's Charles Dionne claimed third on the day.""" It was HILARIOUS yesterday sitting on the Healthnet Train as the KILLED THEMSELVES to bring back ONE guy! They chased like mad to catch a guy in 4 miles.....with 4 miles to go! Whoops! Duh! Here's a little advice Gordo. Next time, time your minions better so you catch the guy in the last mile. Oh yeah, and maybe keep one more guy in reserve so you don't get passed in the sprint AGAIN because your last leadout guy couldn't get you to the 300m, let alone the 200m to go sign. And finally. Thanks for quitting so my friend Charley could coast by you and take second. Jackass. crit PRO |

Nice weekend for him and HNet. Once they get the train dialed they will win everything. |

For those of you who don't race....clarification.
When a rider or break are ahead, the leader of the pack isn't the leader in the race. To win the stage, the rider or break must be caught. Sometimes, having rider/riders ahead can CALM the pack, and allow the team expected to chase (Gord won the day before) control the entire pack. Very simply, the other riders in the pack can't win by simply going to the front.....there are others ahead of them. When you PANIC LIKE AMATEURS and bring back the guy too quickly, you open up a varitable hornet's nest. It's now a 4 mile race, all together, and EVERYBODY thinks they have a chance to win. Like a tie game in basketball with 30 secs left, or in the 8th inning in baseball. It's a microcosm of the madness in the early stages of the Tour. If you win early (like the first week), you might take the lead in the overall. So 190 guys have a chance to wear yellow. Whereas, in the third week, after it's all sorted out, anyone could win a stage, but very few are in position to lead the overall. Bike Racing 101. Healthnet needs to take that course. They suck. |

If you're going to dodge this and say you dialed into an east coast computer (with a 3 hr difference) then your 3:02 pm post (140th place garners extensive media coverage) would negate the argument. |

There are at least three of us that I know of. Not counting Joey D at . An A for effort, though. Would you like me to send you my bib number? crit PRO |

I did see a rider with a lap top and a cell phone. Check his postings on
Sat. The race was ongoing. CP can you tell me anything about the water crossings? I have all kinds of questions, care to answer.

Imagine you giving advice to Gord Fraser.
I've no doubt that you would also have had equally insightful advice for Einstein and Alan Turing. |

Hey Tom If you do a results search for them together it would seem that CP has had a perfect backseat to watch Gord set up and sprint, so from that viewpoint he might be able to offer him some good advice. I admit I didn't look too hard but didn't see a single result with CP ahead of Fraser, maybe he can point us to results where he beat Fraser. Bill C |
