Another winner today
Petacchi.
Brioches La Boulangere will ride until they explode to keep Voeckler in yellow for as long as possible. Fdjeux.com also has an interest in discouraging breakaways, both to assist Cooke and on the theory that Voeckler and O'Grady will both fade in the climbs before Casar leaving Casar in yellow for a time. This means Petacchi should get a couple of breakaway free days to show that he's still a top sprinter when other top sprinters are also in the race. Bob Schwartz cvcc@execpc.com |

Sure, but being not a very strong team Brioches La Boulangere is certainly not capable to controll the race. So they will be quite happy if a few riders are taking a couple of minutes, forcing the teams of the sprinters to lead the pursuit. Benjo Maso |

Re: Another winner today
Gosh, I'm blushing.
But I missed the damage from Petacchi's fall. In my defense we don't have cable so all I'm working on is the audio feed from Eurosport over the internet. I should have placed that bet on 'None'. > How can we reward you? Well, if anyone really feels indebted they could kill Bill Z and Guy's computers. I'm sure we'd all appreciate it. My plane tickets are on Tuesday, we'll be in the Pyrenees and the Alps. I have some ideas for getting to Alpe d'Huez via telepherique and mountain bike but I'm still not sure how I'm going to do it. If I had enough daylight after the finish I'd ride trails back to where we are staying but that's not an option. I'll be sure to take pictures of the food for heather. Bob Schwartz cvcc@execpc.com |

I really liked your Ronde van Vlaanderen page. Also, if you can take down a Cutter on the Alpe, I'll double Trdina's fifty bucks. |

But Oz Station is more direct and their web page says they will be running all day that day. Getting back is going to be more interesting since everyone will want to leave at the same time. I think that's where the mountain bike has the most value if I can just ride back over the ridge that separates Alpe d'Huez and Oz Station. Bob Schwartz cvcc@execpc.com |
