You seem to have inherited the eastern european mentality of "Life sucks, here have another drink"
I don't know how it is in other parts of Eastern Europe, but in Poland people usually skip the "life sucks" part and go stright to the drinking.
In Australia, if you stop drinking, you die. Not nearly as bad as Russia though... I swear that they replace blood with vodka....
When you can't decide between two options, flip a coin. Not because the result of the coin will choose for you, but because, in that split second before the coin lands, you'll know what side you want it to fall on. |

This is certainly the mentality in Czech and Slovak republics, spot on! 
We have every day pub talking revolutions, but instead of going to really do anything, everybody only get pissed and go to sleep.

Kreuziger is saying that Contador is in the classics to work for him and that he was pleased by Alberto being okay with it. But he also says, that they are three leaders together with Alberto and Nicki S. and anyone of them can attack or lead the team if feeling good.
Key for them is going to the Mur at the front of the bunch and "sold" the good form there.

Vanendert with a fall, he can continue, though.
No one's talking about him, but I consider him a big candidate!
Leaders with 100 km left to go:
Pirmin Lang (IAM), Jurgen Van Goolen (AJW), Gilles Devillers (CRE)
8'40" on the peloton. |

Video images of all FW's since 1989 on Sporza's site.
It's been ten years since the race was decided before the Mur.
And it's funny how easy some riders climbed the Mur ten years ago

Brian Smith speaking very freely on Eurosport about Sky's failure of a classics campaign. He might be dropping his ex rider Teirnan-Locke in it a bit but interesting to also hear JTL has apparently found the training too much and it's left him jaded so back to what worked last year and away from Kerrison. Apparently a "senior" rider also called a halt to a training session recently saying it was too much.
Total hearsay and potential for bad blood but interesting.

Tiernan-Locke didn't like the mettods, Tiernan-Locke can't keep with the team. |

Of course not. He's asking Schleck advice's how to fail at every single race he enter's. |

I think Vanendert had a fall and 2 mechanics?
Was more annoyed with De Gendt being in the back, he should be attacking
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Let's hope Bardet reaches the top of the Mur for some VG points.

Schleck is actually in a good position. He somehow forgot to stop at the teambusses at the foot.

Tiernan-Locke among those dropped on the Mur. Is he the one rider who is immune to Sky's marginal gains, or what?
Quintana and Valverde both looked strong on the climb.
