9 riders + 12 seconds = 9 Lame Excuses; check my math

[SLAVE of THE STATE]

Only 12 s of separation at the last mountaintop finish in a very close
tour. Lame-O.

2 Samuel Sanchez Gonzalez (Spa) Euskaltel - Euskadi 2.03
3 Andy Schleck (Lux) Team CSC - Saxo Bank
4 Alejandro Valverde Belmonte (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne 2.13
5 Frank Schleck (Lux) Team CSC - Saxo Bank
6 Vladimir Efimkin (Rus) AG2R La Mondiale 2.15
7 Cadel Evans (Aus) Silence - Lotto
8 Denis Menchov (Rus) Rabobank
9 Christian Vande Velde (USA) Team Garmin-Chipotle p/b H30
10 Bernhard Kohl (Aut) Gerolsteiner

PS: I like cherries.

It should be 6 lame excuses. The Schlecks couldn't
attack because they might have dragged someone
back to Sastre, and one of those guys (one of Menchov,
Kohl, Vandevelde) was probably the weakest and
couldn't attack. That leaves a six-pack of Cadels.

I think based on Menchovs early match of Sastre, then
his drop behind, he was the most willing and least strong.
I think he's kicking himself because he's a minute behind
Evans because he bottled it on that downhill and fell
asleep on a flat stage and he would have fancied himself
in the time trial. Kohl and Vendevelde are clearly still
chasing 3rd.

Kohl could be the spoiler this year

Come to think of it, since I'm not rooting for anybosy else, I might
as well root for him

Even if the New World Order puppets in Westminster are thinking of
changing the National Anthem because it might offend some RagHead or
Muslim, there are thousands of Welshmen who will never change theirs.

Vote the Tories and Labour out.
Join a Nationalist Party with your Blood Brothers

If you don't like our Anthem; go back where you came from.

And the Irish will be no push-over for the New World Order either

The guy has zero chance, he ITTs like Herrera in 1983
