You guys should really start watching Eurosport. It is a much more enjoyable experience. While I've seen the Sidi commercial a million times now, the commercials are not as often, and the commentators don't make me want to eat glass.

Vs said that it was the tour's doctor that made the decision to let him keep riding, with the stipulation that he had a dedicated ambulance and surgeon (thats what they said) follow him around for the rest of the day. im bummed about chris and radio shack in general. the tour just got a little less interesting for me.

Has coddling tendencies.
I don't really mind Phil and Paul. I do miss Bob Roll's more active participation.
And, now with Horner and Leipheimer out of GC contention (and possibly out of the tour), they will be supporting Kloden, which was always part of the Shack plan - whoever ends up doing the best, support that person.
It's still a very interesting tour. Just pray AC's blood transfusion plans don't come together this year and he doesn't zoom ahead in the mountains.

That explains it, didn't think about timing chips, etc. I'm used to USA Cycling events where you're lucky if they have enough safety pins for the numbers they sell you for $30.

botto has long contended that Phil is a moron, and he does have a point at times. But he's a charming moron, and he does know quite a bit about the sport. He and Paul make a good team, and I enjoy Bobke as well. Hey, those boys are doing something right, they have been at it for a long time and cycling fans seem to like them. That Gogulski guy is knowledgeable, but he does annoy the living crap out of me.

When I first started watching I found Phil hard to follow. I don't know what it is but the longer I watched him the more he made sense. Not sure if that is a good thing.
