Surprising Vermeulen... an excellent result from him, his close to 36, and he never took part in a such high ranked race. |

Looking at the result in Mallorca and came across this.
| 97 - Andy Schleck (LUX) - RadioShack - (+15) | | 98 - Alberto Contador (ESP) - Saxo Bank - (+15) |
Are they marking each other already?

They were hugging each other.

Every one's got potential. Coppel has a lot of it. Enough to win the Tour ? Unless he'd do a Walkowiak, or succeed in a Voeckler 2011 strategy, I can hardly see him on the final podium.
Winning the G.C. in Bessèges, and an uphill ITT is not enough to prove you can win the TDF. |

What's with Rambo in a Lotto helmet from last season?

Looking trough the pictures, Bagdonas is wearing one aswell. Also, they aren't even riding on TT-bikes yet, so i guess they haven't arrived yet (bikes and helmets).

Stage 1 Tour of Qatar

Still somebody doubt that Sagan is a sprinter, who can compete with the best even on the flat?

Adam Blythe finished 2nd......Boonen beat Farrar....
I'll have to see a video before I judge that. The result looks a little odd to be honest.

There was a massive tailwind that really made for a strange sprint. Everyone stayed in line and no one could come around the man infront of them.

And Boonen holds onto the leader's jersey by 3 hundredths of a second over Farrar.

And Thomas Dekker picks up his first (team, ok) victory of the year
And he's 5th in the GC.
Also, David Harmon must quit. What an awfully biased, hypocritical jerk. His anglo-saxon bias is one thing. Then all this anti-doping blabla while he probably still wets his pants every time he sees a guy like David Millar. Seriously, such commentators are unworthy of being a commentator

Every commentator from every country is biased towards the riders from their country, even if only because that's what their listeners want to hear. I personally am glad that he tackled the Contador issue openly and didn't hide his true feelings. That would have been far, far worse than his hypocrasy.
If you want an absolute joke of a commentator, try Carlton Kirby.

Ofcourse, but there are grades of bias.
And one thing I noticed, the English speaking ones from Eurosport are by far the most biased commentators on this planet. Not even Americans are that biased! |

So that's why we should beware, because of a possible top 10 in Qatar?

That's nothing compared to the Spanish commentators. They are the ones who make possible to defend Contador's "unfair" situation just to, during the very same stage, implicitly accuse Europcar of team doping. Pure awesomeness.
