Come On Arlene

Oh I swear . . .

I'm swearing alright. This was supposed to be the stage where the gap came back together again. And now you go ahead and increase it?

"These people round here
Wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
So resigned to what their fate is . . ."

Their fate is apparently to get their butts kicked by Listen Up Maggots in the 2008 FGBC Giro Pool. A 442 point lead! Very impressive. How do you make it look so easy? Even King Andy is humbled right now.

Bruseghin wins it. Just like he did last year. Contador (fractured elbow?) and Kloden were second and third. An interesting 1-2 punch for Astana in the overall race. More from CN, VN, and Pez.
