I don't think we've got one of these yet.

The organizers have been listening to me.

Organizers change how green jersey is awarded.

Contador
Wiggins
Schelck, A

Cavendish (at long last)
Petacchi
Hushovd

Mountains:
A bunch of nonentities.

OK, nothing very controversial except Wiggins over Schleck but the latter hasn't looked good recently.

Fucking ow. That's like being mauled by a big cat.

Amazing it didn't take out Voeckler too.

Two good races this week - Vuelta and the new race in Colorado with a stupid long name - USA Pro Cycling Challenge. The later features Evans, the Schleck Bros., Basso, CVV, and other top riders. Pretty impressive peloton considering the first year of the race. Vuelta seems a bit ho-hum as of yet. Took a couple of days before I tracked down Pelkey aka Live Update Guy doing his live feed of the race. Seems he was canned by VeloNews but has gone out on his own.

Now that Wiggins is leading I suppose I'll have to watch the Vuelta despite Universal's really shitty coverage.

Time Warner dropped Universal on January 1, so we're missing the crappy Giro coverage. Fortunately, there's a live TV feed available through Il Gazzetto dello Sport. I only understand a fraction of what the announcers are saying, but it's fun to listen to them. Supplemented with the LUG live blog and I'm fairly sated.
