Rabobank must be beside themselves. (The sponsor, not the team. Although the team too.)
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Art Crawl!!!
I read something that said the team is out and something else that said that the individual team members were going to be allowed to decide whether or not they'd like to continue.

Since Rasmussen's been in the yellow jersey, that means they've been testing him after every stage, doesn't it?

Well, at issue were two random dates where they wanted to test him out of competition - nothing to do with the Tour.
Except that now it is.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Holy cow! That's completely nuts! And I was just watching this morning and being all excited and also somewhat confused because I clearly missed the rest of the kerfluffles, but this is the big one!
And also, VS coverage was driving me batty.
Oh, oh, and what do you guys think about his (no longer an issue) complaining about the press motorbikes being too close?
Oh, oh, oh, and did you see the streaker? 'Cause what is live television without a streaker?

It seemed a little diva-ish. Say what you will about Armstrong, I don't remember him pulling that shit.

Yes! It's not really a stage without a naked guy.

Oh yeah, and what I actually came here to post was that I have some people coming to visit next week and we're doing this weird spiritual gifts assessment and part of my task was to get friends to fill out a survey for me, about what they think my skills are. So I put it up on livejournal for you guys to fill out. It's all kinda bizarre and filled with religious-speak, but if you don't mind that (or don't mind ignorning it) I'd love to have you participate. I'd appreciate it.

Totally. The SO & I were laughing to ourselves about how long it took to get the camera off him.
But in all seriousness, I have to say, I don't know how those cyclists work at all in that environment. It's nuts!
Are there generally etiquette rules for what's okay and not for the crowd? 'Cause it seems like they're constantly totally in their way.

I think all bets tend to be off on the big mountain stages, because the people have probably expended a lot of effort to get up there, are filled with nationalistic pride, and are often drunk.
