You talked a lot of smack about Postal flailing, how about the results from todays finish? Looks like Postal rode the strongest race to me. The had four riders in the main finishing group. And they look like all the names you were doubting just the other day.

Phonak is still stronger--and part of their 'A' team is in the Tour de Suisse.

Maybe you'll tell us again how Phonak is a Div. 2 team that doesn't deserve to be invited to the Tour and how they'll lose 2:30 in the TTT.

dont forget that ullrich won the first stage of the tour de suisse.... seems like the hulk is coming....

I've never had any doubt Der Kaiser will be ready to kick some Postal butt in July. It's going to be great to see him powering up the Alpe like a train. He won't have to respond to attacks, just put out raw, consant power. Armstrong had better be ready.
