Just Getting Started


After some well deserved juice from Mongo himself, AK47 goes out and lays a "whuppin'" on the field in the 30k TT. He wins by 20 seconds over Stijn Devolder (Who I like), and leads on GC by six seconds with two stages to go. He won this puppy back in 2007, so there's no reason to believe he can't do it again. Tomorrow's penultimate, long, mountain stage will decide the race.
Kloden always seems to roll with the Kazakh, Goon Squad, Astana B-Team. Everyone's name ends in a "V" or a "Y". Except, of course, for Gregory Rast...who is Swiss. This must come in handy any time a mediator is needed between the German leader and the Russian domestiques.
I think these guys, Kloden included, like being the black sheep of Astana, and will do what it takes to get the win.
With Contador choking away Paris-Nice and Mellow Johnny not scaring anyone yet, AK47 and LBM might ruin Bruyneel's wet dream later this Summer.

Is it just me, or is Klodi Bear looking more like Keith Richards every year?

I really hope you're a girl with terms like "Klodi Bear" :)
I'm not sure about the resemblance, but AK was the guitar tech for Michael Schenker on the 1986 Scorpions European Tour.
