PISSING MY TIME [updated]

- sorry for the long lag in posts, i have been pissing my blogging time away working. my architecture / media design company has caught on fire and i am busy moving into a new local. [ok, so i spent a good part of my early morning looking for a new espresso machine for the new studio, priority's priority's]

- also a quick sorry to all those that have left comments lately, i apparently or inadvertently switched on 'monitoring of comments.

- i know this blog is to be about my racing and the teams activity, which i will concentrate on with a new vigor, once things cool down a bit. but i also can't help myself from commenting on the farm boys in the PROtour scene too.

- TDF picks for tomorrow [thanks for the request bk]

stage 5 - [living on the the edge] [updated]
it has a few good bumps in it, with a cat2 and a cat 3 right before the finish. so i am going with break-a-way chance day, a good classics day. it would fit well for a frenchman to win, maybe someone on a conti team, but in the end, no, the only hope for a french win, baring any crashes, is the perverible 14 july [bastille day].

my heart says unknown breakaway to win [but since it is a unknown rider i can't pick it, can i?]

so lets go with [the non GC teams are running out of stages]

- [2] oscar freire [barring any butt problems, or i get zabel]
- [23] christophe moreau [could pull of a voeckler and gain some points]
- [168] nick nuyens [what the hell nick? it's not like your saving yourself for a GC contender]
