The Handsome Man with Athletic Thighs
Running In Circles
 
Saturday, July 8th

Course: None

Comments: Gonchar surprised me with his win today, but he shouldn't have. He's always finished highly in time trials, and was even World Champ once. Still, I expected Michael Rogers, the current World Champ, to be the best rider on his team, not the 36-year-old former champ. At least Landis placed second, as I predicted. I think he's better off out of the Yellow. He won't have any pressure to defend the jersey, and he's in the best position of any of the real General Classification contenders.

My prediction for tomorrow: Since McEwen has won every even-numbered stage up to this point, I might as well stick with the pattern and go with him to win stage eight.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
