Rest Day Wrap up
July 16th, 2007 |Amazing under performers of the Tour so far:
Valverde – As Skibby sez, riding like a masters racer
Evans – No excitement so far
Sastre – Mr. Invisible
Leipheimer – Waiting for an attack, waiting…
Dekker – The future looks dim
But the battle for longest name of the Tour is heating up:
Juan Jose Cobo Acebo, long
Inigo Landaluze Intxaurraga, longer
José Ivan Gutierrez Palacios, not longest
Sergio Miguel Moreira Paulinho, getting closer
Francisco José Ventoso Alberdi, almost there
Francisco Javier Vila Errandonea, we have a winner!
His nickname is “Patxi”. People confuse him with local masters racer Snide-Dog when Snide forgets to shave his lame jazz spot. He’s been a pro since 2001 and wins every other year or so, kind of like Snide…hey…didn’t I overhear ScottERob call Snide “Patsy” after the State Crit last month? Patxi is really into lettura and if you read Snide’s blog you know that Snide is all over that lettura shit.
Holy crap, I thought Snide was racing SuperWeek! I think he’s in the Tour dee France!
Go Patsy-Snide-Dog!
