Random thought: ever notice how similar the yellow jersey is to the ring in "The Lord of the Rings"?
1. There are several jerseys but yellow is above them all.
2. The wearer of the jersey slowly but surely becomes more and more attached to it, to the point of doing anything to hang on to it (My precious!)
3. The jersey can distort the judgement of the wearer (Floyd lets Pereiro go, and vice versa).
4. Some cannot handle the burden of the jersey and are weakened by it (Tom Boonen).
5. Others gain strength from the jersey and become much more powerful than before (Oscar Pereiro).
6. The most successful jersey wearer is the person who realizes it is not theirs to own forever, but to carry it to its final destination (Paris).

I'm a bike geek and a fantasy geek. I cracked up at that one. Thanks.

Ever notice how lord of the rings fans ruin absolutely everything. Can't your moms keep you locked up in your basement with your bottle of lotion where you belong. My bad, that's probably where you wrote that.
Ever notice how the tour is like star wars. I'd explain further but I have to go and make sure my action figeres are still in their original packaging.

Funny post, but you are a cranky b!atch aren't you. You remind me of my ex-wife. Is it that time of the month for you too?

That reply was a joke man. His reference to the Star wars and going to check on his action figures was simply his way of expressing his geekiness as well. Chill out. Floyd won. Go celebrate.

Read his/her other posts and you might come to the same conclusion too.
I'm drinking the champaigne of beers as I sit and type after my ride. Floyd won me some moola. What's not to be happy about?

Live Steam is right. Had it been posted by anyone else I would have assumed it was a joke. Coming from JohnnyCat, however, I have to assume the worst.
:D
