Sella-bration Time

Holy Crap. That was awesome. And tomorrow should be just as good, if not better. Sella wins. Bosisio is has a 5 second lead on Contader for the overall. Menchov was impressive too. Andy and Paddy both have monster days in the Giro Pool. But Listen Up Maggots has a bigger lead than ever.

Video here.

A lot of people speaking a lot of Italian. Weird how Contador wasn't translated though. I guess the Italian cycling public can handle rapid-fire Castillano.

three quick things.....
1- kudos to anyone who raced at swan river, I'm jealous as it's one of my favorite venues

2- Sunday provided one of my biggest ass kickings in any cycling pool and I didn't See it coming. If my boys keep riding like that I'm going in myself.

3- I've started downloading and burning the 2008 giro (up to stage 10 so far) with English commentary so we can relive the madness. Whats funny is that the coverage doesn't show slipstream at all. Hilarious.




Oh and tomorrow should be freaky crazy, I'm almost tempted to skip work and fly the lpr flag.
