Stage 13 Not-so-live comments

Looking forward to a stage today where the main contenders actually do some racing today. The questionable weather only adds to the possibility of some action. Or, the riders may choose not to take any risks and race like a bunch lambs yet again in this Tour.
--------------
Wonder if Armstrong's radio is not working? He is dropping back to the car for a chat.
--------------
The Polka dot contenders are hotting up the action on the Schlucht Pass.
--------------
Nice sprint for the mountain points between Martinez and Pelizotti. Even bumping shoulders as they crossed the line.
--------------
I would not like having to descend the mountains on these wet roads.
--------------
Gerdemann is looking like he is wondering why he decided to try and bridge a 6 minute gap.
--------------
On to the Col de Platzerwasel for the leaders
--------------
Kern attacks from the pack. He's been aggressive most of the race trying to get mountain points. Unlike his teammate Moncoutie.
--------------
That looks like one of my futile attacks as the pack slowly pulls him back.
--------------
Haussler is riding a nice and steady up the climb. Doing better than I expected.
--------------
Arent the Euskaltel supposed to be good climbers? Perez gets popped out of the break.
--------------
Kern is still out there gasping with his effort but the pack finally rolls right on past him. I say "nice effort" but, well, it wasn't that good really.
--------------
Thank goodness they only showed the arm of Antler Guy running in front of the pack. The less publicity for him, the better.
--------------
Either Phil or Paul seem to have a squeaky chair.
--------------
Saxo goes to the front. Finally, some action.
--------------
Lots of destruction!
--------------
Tom Steels won Paris-Roubaix this year? Paul is catching Phil-itis.
--------------
Haussler is having a hell of a day. Naturally, people are speculating the PED use already. *sigh*
--------------
The pack is going to let Haussler win today it seems.
--------------
Lotto giving it a second effort on the last climb. Problem is, whats the motivation to chase Wegelius?
--------------
Smooth bike change by Andy Schleck doing a little cyclocross dismount.
--------------
Amets Txurruka is a cool name.
--------------
I was hoping for a little more fireworks today. C'est la vie. Good job by Haussler.
--------------
Speaking of fireworks. Chavanel's blow up left a mushroom cloud over France.
