TdF: Bloody hell! What *did* you think of that? [SPOILER]

BLOODY hell!

I am not a Lance Armstrong fan but that was awesome. I was thinking that
maybe he would sort of cruise round this year just to fulfil his
contract, but obviously not.

What on earth to T Mobile do now?

He did rather stomp on Ullrich just a bit. Remarkable performance.

Even more worryingly for the opposition, look at how many of the postal guys posted
fast times. It's going to be the blue train, all the way.

Play the long game. I think Vino is the man to watch.

Yeah - it's a long race and anything can happen.

Better to peek as you hit the mountains not on the first stage.



Plus it's also worth reminding folk that Jan almost died yesterday.

Wonder how fast your time would be 1 day after going through the back of a
vehicle?

Typical helmetista. He gets a few minor scratches but because he wasn't
wearing a helmet is classed as having "almost died" ;-)

What about the helmet splitting crash Lance has, which was reported in
cycling weekly, or that his team had to fetch him to the start as he
was out on the road?

Is it true the T mobile car had cream cakes on the back seat G

He went head first through a rear window.
I doubt very much that a helmet would protect him from a lacerated artery in
his throat.

Yes - he did only end up with a few minor scratches - but did you see the
car?
I don't know about you but that would have shaken me - I would probably have
taken the day off work.
Jan didn't have that opportunity.

Car windows are designed not to lacerate in case you hadn't noticed.

I did that twice as a lad in the days long before helmets made an
appearance. Once into a car and once into a caravan (don't ask) and in
both cases I walked home with little more than a bruised head and a
rather worse off bicycle.

Of course these days I would have been pronounced dead for not wearing a
helmet.
