It seems my 5 points investment in Weening is paying off

[Goob]

I owe Rasmussen and Moreau a beer!

Or maybe a leg massage. I hope Rasmussen did not tire himself out today.

 

[Serutan]

Tomorrow's a rest day, so Rasmussen has time to recover.

 

[Inter4]

@Rik: Christmas was 7 months ago

 

[Serutan]

I think we can break out the butter and marmalade for
Jan Ullrich and Vinikurov now. The former didn't suprise me
much, the latter did. BTW, anyone think Rasmussen can
keep it up for the GC podium?

 

[Rik Meleet]

Hitro & McDread.
I've gladly done the results updates the previous days, but I can't do that always. And I am short on time the coming days. Don't count on me doing it as I'll be away from tomorrow on.

Thanks Rik...i was going to do that but i have been busy. Looks like Goob is definitely going to win

 

[SanPellegrino]

I am back from vacation now, and didn't got much info there, what happened to Boonen? And what is the deal with the pale rider with the red dots? Is it contagious?

 

[Inter4]

I should've played, I wanted to and I was going to chose Armstrong cuz I'm lazy to pick a team.. oh well, next season BASSO WILL RULE.

Unstickied.
