Aw, *Suck*! And, Tommeke Tommeke Tommeke!

Not Fab-ulous: aw, crap, Cancellara looked great, and there he is two seconds later, on the floor in the feed-zone, his whole Classics in the toilette! Could anyone see what happened--an errant musette, a nimrod with a bottle to the wheel, Johan Bruyneel's cursed everyone from SaxoBank and should just burn right in hell from now on? Anyway, it was a lousy way for Cancellara to lose and a great honorable ride by Ballan Pippo (who I honestly thought might have it the last ten seconds) and of course Tom for the win. But wouldn't have it been interesting to see how the tactics would've played out with Cancellara still in the race? And incidentally, for that school-boy jailbait Sagan to have as many mechanical mishaps as he did and still go so bangin' means that he and Vanmarcke I'm convinced will be brass-knucklin' it out for a good decade to come. Anyhoo, get well soon Fabian, Thor please pick a team that won't absolutely crush you next year, well done Judith and Kristin, you rock Hincapie for completing no. 17 even if you still have to renounce that tool Armstrong, screw you NBCSports for cutting off the podium, congrats to Boonen on the recovery of your long-lost mojo--now time for that post-race massage! Oh, and here's the men's PODIUM !@#dammit:

Did you catch the April Fool's article about Cancellara's surgery to get him to ride Paris-Roubaix next week? Can't seem to find it now.

I saw Sagan was off his bike with that last crash, very impressive that he finished top 5! He was fun to watch in the Tour of California, so it is nice to see him become the next big thing!

It was removed before I could even read it. And hey--poor Levi!

It was apparent it was an April Fool's story. It said the new surgery would cost 5.4 million CHF which is the equivalent of 6 million US dollars...and the doctor's name quoted was Dr. Steven Austin.

It didn't say..."we can rebuild him..."

Oh, and thrilling to see Boonen doing so well!
