A few notes



1) Valverde is extremely lean.

2) He has a wicked cool bike.

3) Tour fans look weird.

Thanks for reading.

  2. I second that... love the swoopy bike and, man, can you pick that guy out in the peloton. How ironic that the two guys who couldn't fit on that bike are the ones who love it...

  3. I can get one in my size, just under 11 grand with those wheels...

  4. It's pretty, a little _too_ pretty. Not is a gay way, just, it's a bit _flashy_ for a pro tour race. Kinda, 'sorry al, I didn't mean to push you off into that drainage ditch' kinda flashy. Not that I would do something like that. Serously, I wouldn't. I mean, Valverde is deserving of flashing a bit of glam, if anyone is, but I could see some shithead like cavendish butting shoulders with him in a sprint.

  5. That's his Spanish National champ paint job. I don't think it's "gay," but I find his 5 o'clock shadow to be a major turnoff...

  6. i saw that stage finish live on german tv. actually, i saw the last 2 hours. what a great way to start the tour. first i thought, 'eh, no prologue?', but it was really cool. Schumacher and Kirchen went spectacularly early.
