On a completely different note – halfway across the globe good ‘ol Jensie was doing his best to animate an otherwise hohum day at the TOC: “The third stage of the Amgen Tour of California saw the first appearance of RadioShack-Leopard’s Jens Voigt, one o… »
@Bianchi Denti Great call Bianchi Denti. Cycling inquisition is an excellent site and Klaus is one of my favorite cycling bloggers. Always great stuff about the colombians and cycling in general. I picked up a copy of “Kings of the Mountain” from him wh… »

@huffalotpuffalot That was amazing. Janier Acevedo’s kick at the end was brutal. He only gained 12 secs on Teejay, but the way he rode away was impressive. Riders were sitting down on the burning tarmac after the finish stuffing ice into their bibs, jer… »
@Pedale.Forchetta Amazing photos as always. Thank you for sharing and can’t wait to see more. »

@frank While I enjoyed AIC’s music, I always leaned far more to the punk side of the Seattle scene. Early Nirvana, Early Soundgarden, The Melvins, Green River, Skin yard, Tad, The Umen and my favorite Seattle band – Mudhoney. Those were some amazing ban… »

I find myself unable to put anyone but Beeker Wiggins in the top spot at this point. I’d love to see Ryder pull off the double but I just don’t see it happening… and the same thing for Nibbles. Don’t get me wrong, I think it will be close and I think th… »

@frank My sentiments exactly. My VSP took a dump because of his win, but I can’t feel bad for a second. A great way to end the classics season, just sad it’s over. »
My 2-3 came in 1-2… Giblets just didn’t have it. Great win for Martin, really like that kid. »
Last one. VSP PICKS: 1. Philbert 2. Oh Danny Boy 3. JRod 4. Nibbles 5. Henao »
@LA Dave Ha. Was overthinking it. Totally forgot he was on Sky now. »
@brett That’s some next level naming there. I got Henao and Uran Uran… but you stumped me on the last one. »
Tinkering… having trouble believing that Valverde can pull it off. I’ll keep him at the 5… for now. VSP PICKS: 1. Philbert 2. Oh Danny Boy 3. JRod 4. Nibbles 5. Alperacion Valpuerto »

Jens was at it again in the TOC. Best quote of the day: “Once I go I’m committed, and yeah, I actually have, sometimes I have confidence beyond reason, you know you can’t beat that out, I’m motherf*cking Jens Voigt, their not gonna catch me, right?” »
