Stage 7: Mazzoleni Blows Up

Kevan Smith wrote in message ...
The heat did in Mazzoleni today as he lost 8 minutes on new race leader and
Festina doper Richard Virenque. However, though he sits 16 minutes down, he's
vastly improved his position up to 86th overall. IF the heat continues,
tomorrow's stage could be his swan song, but there's still plenty of racing

At least I didn't come across the finish line with my helmet
tipped to the side. Virenque just couldn't get it right.

You saw the sponsor, though, didn't you?

Virenque is wearing Quick Step - Davitamon kit which
is blue and white, then he goes out and rides a red and
black Time frame.

What's up with that lame deal?

You never see top riders like me riding around with wrong
kit like that.

If Virenque is thinking right he should order some team
Alessio or team Fakta kit as soon as possible.

I can't understand some of these guys, they can afford
new kit every damn week and still they don't get it correct.

And yet, somehow he beat most of the field by 4 minutes or more and
all of it by nearly 2 and a half minutes, taking the stage win, the
yellow jersey and the king of the mountain classification.

How'd that happen? Give me some of that crappy unmatched equipment.

Go Lance!
