  Well done indeed! Wiggins' domination of this year's tour is reminiscent of Bernard Hinault in his prime. It will be a well-deserved win!

  Does anybody know if Colorado is a death penalty state?

  On paper yes; in practice the death sentence is unusual, and actual executions are rare. The most recent execution was 15 years ago.

  I didn't get a chance to watch it, but did read the results in the paper. Short summary: Cadel Evans attacked on the first hill, Wiggins matched every attack. Evans could not hold the pace to end.

  After Friday's stage [LA Times], Wiggins leads Millar by just over two minutes, and Evans is in fourth overall more than three minutes behind.

  Wiggins is looking tough to beat now. He's left Cadel Evans quite a way back. (disclaimer: I haven't yet seen today's redults)

  In the US, it was intense competition. What Blockbuster did to the small independent rental stores about a decade ago, Netflix, Redbox, and on-demand pay-per-view are now doing to Blockbuster. They are no longer the cheapest, nor the most convenient, nor do they have a better selection.

  Could Assemblies Be Wrecked?

  by metatron in

  assemblies at the reading pa. assembly hall are getting disrupted repeatedly by somebody who keeps pulling fire alarms.

  many witlesses blame it on "apostates" - rather than the dissolute teenagers who used to do such things in my day.. there are lots of things that so-called 'apostates' may do to disrupt assemblies including bomb threats phoned in, swat teams called, printed green insults stuffed into collection boxes etc.

  add prohibitions against strollers and you have lots of reasons not to attend and thereby avoid the annoyances.

  They manage to wreck them pretty well all by themselves.

  I'm not sure how many contenders are still in one piece and have enough team members left to support them, after all those crashes on Friday. But Cadel Evans is one who did make it through OK, so his prospects for a repeat are looking good.

  Now Taylor Phinney's decision to sit out le Tour and concentrate on the Olympics is looking like a wise move. Many riders will arrive in London tired and hurt after this tour!
