After riding 40 miles, including four 20%+ climbs thrown in for good measure, Mongo stopped by the bike shop and chatted with his buddy Boonen.
He had to gloat about another Cavendish win and his early domination of the cycling pool, but his boy Hushovd fell out of the Green Jersey, and with the mountains coming up, he 'aint gettin' it back. Freire has it for now, but I think Kirchen can reclaim it this week.
Let's talk about the VERSUS commentators...Not Phil, Bob, and Paul...But Frankie Andreu and Robbie Ventura.
To use an NFL analogy, these guys are the sideline reporters of VS's TDF broadcast team. Talent and ability at their vocation aside, here's what I don't understand...
Ventura was the "Personal" coach of Floyd Landis during his 2006 disgraced run at the TDF. Ventura also built a successful coaching business greatly due to the early success of Landis. And oh, did I mention, Ventura was also a professional bike racer on the US Postal Team with, you guessed it, Mellow Johnny himself. This guy's hands are dirty.
Frankie Andreu was a respected American cyclist riding in Europe during the 80's and 90's, and an outspoken anti-doping advocate. Cutting to the chase...He swears that he knows for a fact that MJ doped. He has nothing to gain by lying, and has suffered no legal repercussions.
How the F**k can VS have these two guys working together?!
