Attack mother ****er attack!!!

I love Vino and Astana's aggressiveness. It may not give him a win but he'll **** some people up on the way and make things fun to watch.

Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
What team was driving on the front when Vino crashed? It wasn't Moreau's team was it?
No, it was CSC or either the sprinter's teams trying to catch a break the day that Vino crashed.

Sunday Moreau was attacking but that was in that group trying to run Chicken down and Vino was just sucking.

What seems to have some a little ticked about today was that it happened almost immediately after the feed zone when everyone was still dealing with their bags.

NORCAL is the hizzle

From Velonews:

"It wasn't lost on anyone that Moreau had been the protagonist of a series of attacks during the first stage in the Alps, when the injured Vinokourov lost time to the GC leaders. On Thursday, it appeared to be payback time."

Screw them. The flat stages have become so predictable. Let a group of non contenders break away, go as slow as without letting them get too far away so they can be reeled in before the sprint. If people don't like it then they should attack as revenge.

Todays stage was a leg zapper though.

The tour hasn't even started yet IMO.
The death marches are coming......i hope it rains too for more drama.

They are all wrong. The first stage in the Alps was on Saturdayin which Vino finished at the sametime that Moreau and the rest of the main contenders did.

On Sunday, Chicken started the main attack and then Moreau started a break that the other contenders, (for the most part) went with. He was the most aggressive in that break but to think that was aimed at Vino is stupid.

Today, Vino saw a chance to maybe put a bunch of the contenders in trouble it just so happened that Moreau got caught out.

That is unless there is some underlying "I fvcked your wife" thing going on between the two.
