Thought you RVers might want to know the good news. My teammate Andy
Schleck has just won 2nd place in the Giro d'Italia. Andy is a serious
upcoming talent. He's only 21 years old. Join me in congratulating him
on his accomplishment.

Danilo DiLuca won overall but only by a couple minutes over Andy. Go
team CSC!!!

I read he won because he drafted behind a lead RV team support vehicle.

Well, he didn't win. He's in second. We still have one last stage to go
tomorrow but it's a flat stage. Barring anything really weird happening
the podium places should stay the same. The teams ain't gonna let a
breakaway go with anybody of consequence in it. Andy should get second
overall. And he didn't draft any vehicle even an RV. There's judges all
over the place and he woulda been penalized for drafting especially
during a time trial where you can't even draft another rider. Besides
there are accepted ways to get a boost like riding along beside the team
car to get water bottles. When they pass them out the window to you you
grab them but nobody lets go. The car accelerates a little bit and pulls
you along and increases your speed. But you can't hold on for more than
about five seconds or maybe there's a penalty. Another way is to get a
mechanic in the team car to lean out the window and act like he's
tightening your seat. While he's doing that the car accelerates and
gives you a boost. Ya gotta use all the tricks because everybody else
does.

You roommate...I mean teammate should shave his legs closer, oil up his
body and get some tighter Spandex.

Looks like you have fallen out of the top 40.
