A 60 men mass sprint in the queen stage of the ENECO Tour 
Or: Tyler Farrar! He wins a mountain stage in a Pro Tour race /Norwegian Hagen fanboy mode.
So I guess no changes in the GC? |

Mark Cavendish wins stage 2 of the Tour of Ireland from Clonmel to Killarney.
As far as i know the GC is the same, it will all come down to St. Patricks Hill in Cork tomorrow (and it really is a killer of a hill).
For all who care, Lance is +16"

@JDC: No changes indeed.
Tomorrow the Limburg queen stage, I expect nothing of it since the last 20km is too easy. |

So was it that hard of a stage, or did Farrar just ride very well over the "bergs"? |

I saw that hill in person last week, and I can say it is the steepest hill I've ever seen. My parents didn't want to drive up it and we were in a Range Rover. |

Its 25% apparantely, so it should be great to watch.
I hold out hope that Russell Downing will be able to keep the race lead, but it is more likely that a Saxo Bank rider will end up winning.

Who is the commenter in this clip: https://msn.tv2spo...70850.html
If it is he that comments Tour of Ireland for you, I feel sorry for you...Yesterday he called Kristoff a russian, and two days ago Fredrik Wilmann was from Belgium according to him. I didn't know that Norway had such a depth in their squad for the WC's in both U23 and the Elite race that Kristoff and Wilmann needed to change their nationality..
What is his name? |

Phil Liggett. It was hillarious when he called Kristoff a russian.
I don't think it was a slip up either, probably said it because the name sounds a bit russian. |

Definatly not, because that clip was the recorded highlights that go on tourofireland.ie he records that little bit after the race, however on the actual TV coverage he said something different.

I think I have made clear my disdain for Phil Ligget. He needs three things; better eyes, a faster thinking brain, and some testicles.
He needs better eyes because he always says the wrong rider when someone is attacking, sprinting, etc.
He needs a faster thinking brain because he says things (like what ember mentioned) without thinking about or checking what he is saying.
And he needs testicles to realize he can be a cycling reporter without needing to grovel at Lance's feet. |

You are lucky that you don't know Thierry Adam !
Francis Moreau, Alexandre Valverde, Koldo Fernandez is a great climber, Pellizotti isn't a climber at all. He also thought that the white jersey was a Cervelo jersey on the tdf, and many others stupid things.
Or GĂ©rard Holtz who said to Schumacher that he is a sprinter. |

For his own safety.
The finishing circuit is really dangerous and the weather is teribble.Every man for himself out there. Popo,Grivko and several others have come down hard already.
Marco Pinotti (Team Columbia - HTC), Craig Lewis (Team Columbia - HTC), Karsten Kroon (Team Saxo Bank), Matti Breschel (Team Saxo Bank), Russell Downing (Candi TV - Marshalls Pasta), Mathias Frank (BMC Racing Team), Lars Petter Nordhaug (Joker Bianchi),and Kolobnev are ahead of the pack.
