let`s face it, High Road served every one during this race. The joke is really on Astana and Slipstream, JV might want to get out of the car before he lets another Rusky do his sideburns.
Hi BKW, don't know how to contact you other than through the comments, if unappreciated, my bad. I greatly enjoy your blog and have been following for a while. Radio Freddy is wonderful. I understand the origin of the blog name. Just one question, why "Belgium" and not "Belgian"?
For many professional cyclists the Spring campaign is the toughest of the season; it means training from October until March in the worst, character-building weather conditions Europe can dish out. This weather and the suffering that is bicycle racing breed characters known as "hardmen".
Select cyclists tackle these conditions in shorts, long sleeve jerseys or short sleeve jerseys with arm warmers, wind vests, and shoe covers. A true hardman opts to forego the knee or leg warmers and instead chooses an embrocation to cover the knees. The liniment provides warmth for the legs and keeps the blood circulating and muscles supple. Embrocation and the sheen created is affectionately known as "Belgium knee warmers". The hardest of cyclists will sport bare legs in the most ruthless of conditions.
Belgium Knee Warmers are indicitive of the many subtleties that make professional cycling so enthralling.

Go Hendy!
What's up with that CSC guy?
He's taking second place in stride, clearly. A good sportsman, with a sense of humor at that.
Henderson's face is what's weirder to me, anyway.
