4:01 p.m. - Wow... the peloton is totally blown apart. There are riders scattered all along the climb... and we are still on the easy part of the climb.
welcome to the Pyrénées
- Thread starter douglas
- Start date
Postal lost two riders because of the incredibly fast pace they set. Beltran and Noval dropped to the back after leading Lance to the top.
No kidding... that's some impressive riding!
So the reace has finally started then. I may have to start watching.
Hey how did you get those little accent mark thingies in Pyrenees?
Jan and Iban have pulled away from Armstrong on the descent. Phil and Paul sounded worried and didn't know what happened because the cameras couldn't follow in the mountains.
I don't know if this is how he did it but you can use the character map on your computer to do it. There is also shortcuts to do it too.MMcG said:

Rasmussen is now less than 15km from the finish. He is 30" ahead of Armstrong's group which has just caught the Voeckler/Ullrich group.
Paul was questioning whether or not that it was another one of Lance's "tricks". Postal is now leading the pack again.N8 said:

Basso/Lance 1 & 2, but Lance should pick up a ton of time on the other big names.

I suggest you guys watch the race tonight. It was awesome watching Lance on that final climb, but Basso did look better than he did and deserved the win.
Damn that rocked. And when I got back to my desk the USPS was kind enough to deliver my package of LiveStrong bracelets... Thats a good sign
