Where do you guys get all this info? I can only see Pellizotti's breakaway all the time. Actually, I'm falling in love of his curls.

We went the entire descent without a comment... so I'll throw somethng inane in.
Karpets/Pellizoti for the stage win, or will the pelaton chase them down?

They'll get chased down. With Karpets only around 5 min down, and with how strong a rider he is, they won't risk it (and by they I mean Astana and Saxo Bank) |

I just found an interesting read. SRM, the company that makes those power meters for cranks, has analysis of a number of riders' power, heart rate, and other data. Its not that indepth, but it shows the graphs and gives a good idea of what these guys are putting out:
srm.de (there are links on the main page to a number of the articles)

on the 2nd climb-there will be plenty of attacks from chasing group, also peloton will make tempo, there are some dangerous riders upfront... |

Turns out the graphic confused me. The break's advantage is far less than I thought it was.
Doubt they'll make it, unless they get very lucky with tactics.
EDIT: nope, the graphic's just plain retarded. I have no idea anymore.
Going home to watch the stage. see you in a bit.

How does one guy get so many flats?
Does he do something odd when he rides that causes additional stress on the tires? Does he aim for glass in the road? Or is it just odd luck?
Frank crashing is understandable... that's depends on his bike handling skills. What can a rider do that causes flats (other then riding over sharp things). |

How you are completely wrong once again.
Andy Schleck is a very good descender. He isn't like his brother. This is general knowledge, but ofcourse, you don't know.
I agree with ruben, A.Schleck is an underrated downhiller (is that a word?). Last year he kept Sastre and his brother with the favourites on several declines.
Oh, and my post has nothing to do with the ruben <> Guido battle |

I don't know if it's bad luck or what, but do remember a few years ago I had 3 punctures in 5 days in my way from home to the university. It was really annoying, especially because one of those days I had an exam. Not funny.

Saxo is having way to many punctures. Cancellara has had close to the amount of Schleck, and there was Voigt the other day. I suspect the equipment is simply too bad |

Now that they've shown Ballan and Pozzatto, I've an offtopic question: what happens if the world champion is, at the same time, national champion? The second one uses the national jersey?
