SPARTA!!!!

for those that stayed up last night to watch it on the net, it can be summed up in one word – awesome.  i was so tired after the hills ride, but as soon as spartacus and tommeke attacked on the 20% cobbled climb and left everyone else in their wake, there was no way i was going to bed.  then when cancellara just cruised past boonen on the final climb, it was such an awesome display of power that i made me want to get on the time trial bike.  what this really means is now who do you tip for paris-roubaix next weekend.

for the tipping comp, there were 6 winners this race, as cancellara was a popular choice.  this meant that team solwest is now equal 1st with team bigchainring on 180 points.  team globalbean is roasting nicely in 3rd spot but only because team captain poser & tha canine shepards failed to get any point even though they tipped boonen.  a check of the records found that they used that rider for the sanremo race and therefore recieved no points this race.

paris-roubaix is the next race on this coming sunday so make sure you get your tip in.  there are still 4 races left and there is money for getting a race winner correct, so don’t worry if you are behind, you can still get prizes.  just remember if you have already picked a rider then don’t pick them again…i am checking.
