And better still, it was more of a forearm shiver than a punch . . . .

Saw it this morning, hilarious. Is the "dr" trying to give him some EPOs?

I think this Andy is goin to take it this year. Cadel still might have a chance, but we will see. Would be cool to see the brothers take the podium together. I still find it amazing that Andy practically smiles while he climbs and everyone else is dying with the huffin and puffin.

though I like the brothers to take the 1st and 2nd spots, 57 seconds might not be enough to edge out Cadel for tomorrow's time trial.

LOL -- I don't much care for Lance Armstrong, but I praise you for your vigilante etiquette enforcement.

I would have done it for any cyclist suffering to get up the mountain and being harassed by any fool :thumbsup:
Imagine Eric , you suffer the SS-er and someone yelling in your ear (drunk) GO GO GO Cavnaan !! :wave:

DFL (167th place) was only about 4.5% slower than the yellow jersey -- is it any wonder that some riders will take any advantage they can, even if it is illegal, to try to win the biggest bike race in the world?
