it was a hell of a race, this discipline is soo cool, i think its one of the things that are cool about roadies, these guys were in such major amounts of pain when they crossed the line, it just makes me shake my head at they effort the aliens are able to put out, makes me feel like a slug....astana won the race, which was no surprise, anyone that thought they wouldnt win just doesnt get it, i think the time was 19 seconds or some thing for the win, but here is what i dont get....
astana had to beat saxo bank by 40 seconds to get armstrong into the yellow jersey, now i watched the race live and when they crossed the line it was a tie and it was claimed that saxo bank survived by tenths of a second to keep cancellara in the lead, so i just caught the last part of the rebroadcast and it read on the tv at one time that astana must get a time under 46:29:46 to get lance the jersey, astans finished at 46:29:32 ??? im no math major but thats faster than 46:29:46 right :32, :46. i dont get it !!!
like i said this is a stupid cool event i think, being a mountain biker at heart i give roadies a hard time once in a while, well ok , most of the time, but these guys are such monsters on the bike i just gotta take my baggies off to them, wooh did i just say that ? never mind, strike that last part.they took this race away from the tour for 4 years, mostly because the teams with americans were kicking the shit out of every one i believe, its fitting that the year they bring it back that the americans put it on them again, way to go astana, now save it for the mountains lance cause contador will be in it to win it...
