I told the gang that I wanted to do the picks when I was a little more sober, and I heard a round of boos.

Bunny says she is only going to pick people with 3 names.

 
At 8:56 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

we totally want to do this, but our attention span is at about 3 minutes right now.

Somehow the conversation has switched from Inigo to Princess Bride to how old Bunny's bunnies were when they got neutered.

 
At 8:59 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

Lauren should just pick THOR for every single window

 
At 9:00 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

Anything after 3 is irrelevant

At 9:04 AM, Blogger chatterbox said...

How many points do you get if one of your picks is pulled at the last minute in a doping scandal?

 
At 11:31 AM, Blogger Ippoc Amic said...

I think there will be some off the beaten track racer making the podium this year...just not sure who it is yet...and no one picked Voekler for KOM...not even me.

OV-Commesso? who let tinkoff in?

Bunny-"de" also counts as one word too and I think Ventoso could be a good pick for a green jersey, but he is young still

Pabcid-blue for Astana the capital of beautiful Kazakhstan

Panda-Salvodelli is a little sick right now so not sure how he will do tomorrow

Chatterbox-ouch...no points

VB-you guys had too much fun last night...

Lauren-VB is right, Thor for you...

 
At 2:32 PM, Blogger X Bunny said...

i think ippoc is trying to see if she can set a new record for comments......

still a little ways to go but le tour hasn't even started yet

 
At 4:14 PM, Blogger marscat said...

helping the little woman reach 50

 
At 4:21 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Voekler for KOM, maybe but he blows up after a big effort

Salvo sick...hmmm what does he have?

Petacchi is out this time...major bummer

Julich is not riding the tour...another bummer - not sure what happened to him

 
At 4:38 PM, Blogger Ippoc Amic said...

I think Julich will announce his retirement shortly...

 
At 6:32 PM, Blogger EB said...

Mr. Man told me about Savodelli when I showed him my picks, but other than that he says they're solid so I'll take that lump...

 
At 6:32 PM, Blogger EB said...

Maybe he's playing possum (two more 'till 50).

 
At 12:36 AM, Blogger norcalcyclingnews.com said...

more

 
At 12:36 AM, Blogger norcalcyclingnews.com said...
