Giro d' Italia stage 4 - TTT

unless you have the top-dollar cable sports programming piped into your teevee, chances are you didn't see today's coverage of the G-d Italia here in the 'states... just like me.

check out how Vinokourov shags his team off the back, one by one. the clock doesn't stop until the 5th rider crosses the line, so getting all steamed up about it doesn't help one bit, either.
imagine being #5, just killing it because you know that the boss is about to lose his pink jersey, sunglasses and booties. and the boss is real tight with the ol' boys back in Kazakhstan, by the way.

and i just have to say that Vino is looking awfully huge and showing abundantly good form for a guy who has been "on holiday" for the past two years. amazing what a little bit of beach time can do for ya...

sooo, enjoy the racing. what little we get to see.
