yeah, baby!

From the department of shameless self-congratulation: Check out the leader board of the Vuelta pool, over at the Podium Cafe. I just hope the team didn't peak too soon. Two stages to go still, not to mention the points awarded for the overall. I'm counting on Sammy Sanchez to ride the time trial of his life tomorrow, beating both Sastre and Evans and leaping into 2nd overall. And then it would be nice of Benatti to win the sprint on the final stage to hold Petacchi off in the race for the points lead. But that might be asking a bit much. Even so, a podium spot looks pretty certain for Team FGBC. Matt is there too. Solid 42nd place.

42 out of 53 I'll have you know...

Well done dr. Putting those advanced degrees to work!

Good old luck. If you keep playing long enough, every once in a while, your numbers will come up.

As for the advanced degrees: I don't think they're attainable without exactly this sort of distraction. Otherwise you'll just implode or explode or something to that effect. I've seen it happen. Not exactly like the drummer in Spinal Tap, but at the same time not entirely dissimilar either.
