Tour De France: have your say

owi

Petacchi is at least a better bet then LASK!

walter

you are right, LASK sucks

In today's NYT you'll find an article about
By Land and Air, a Live View of Cycling's Big Race

(You all certainly know that you can follow the race live here at Canal Le Tour (English version) )

NOW i know. But i hadn't expect him to be so strong before the tour started. I thought he would lose a bit of his winning appetite after seizing 6 victories in the Giro.

I play a game here in Belgium called Megabike You get 8000 UCI points and you have to make up a team of 12 cyclers. This is my team.

Name/UCI
-Jan ULLRICH/96 points
-David MONCOUTIE/631 points
-Ivan BASSO/565 points
-Bradley MCGEE/269 points
-Antonio TAULER/134 points
-Sven MONTGOMERY/15 points
-Robbie MCEWEN/1485 points
-Joseba BELOKI/1420 points
-Michael ROGERS/374 points
-Alexandre VINOKOUROV/792 points
-Mario AERTS/236 points
-Lance ARMSTRONG/1942 points
total= 7959 UCI points.

Last year i was regional champion. But without Petacchi i can forget it. He's worth 829 UCI points so i had to choose, and i lost.

You can still win the lucky winner price of € 100!

(Waar geld is, wil geld zijn :wink: )

i want that bike!
I hope to catch up with the rest in the moutains. Ullrich, Basso, Moncoutié, Lance, Beloki, Vinokourov, Aerts and Rogers. Without surprises i sure gain some points in the Alps.

(Beter één vogel in de hand, dan tien in de lucht.)

However, I keep my fingers crossed. (I'm in the lucky 500 at my local supermarket, who can win a Twingo - I WANT THE WEEKEND IN PARIS [3nd price])

:wink:

I suppose, some changes will happen now at the Cote de Lozanne!

I couldn't believe the pictures on my my tv screen:

Petacchi again - coming from no-where!

My hope was already vanished with the fall of McEwen.

But Petacchi is still in 98th place isn't he? Let me know Walter, I am only getting delayed broadcasting here.

Take this link, max [same as above] - it's [very nearly] live:

(Petacchi is 88th, as far as I see :wink: )

Walter,
Some news about Zabel yet? He came in 6 minutes after the pack. Nothing serious i hope.

Thanks Walter!

The stopped the life report on tv before they could get any further news (something with his hand/arm, but obviously only abrasions).

Was a pleasure! :wink:

newsflash: Alessandro Petacchi quits the Tour de France after giving up on the first climb of todays stage.

Quite funny stop at a railway crossing, for me, not for the cyclists (besides the four leading).

Wow, Vinokourov seems to be very strong.

Aldag!
