Well, it appears that my audio posts haven’t actually been posting…guess I shoulda checked to see if they were making it on to the site.  In any case, not so much to report here from the race.  Pretty much been getting flogged, came into the race with some aspirations but have been feeling like there is nothing in the legs.  Been helping out the team, doing what I can but given the level of the riders here it is tough to do too much unless you are 100% on.  Felt a bit better on stage three but was struck with an inopportune flat tire as we hit the bottom of Sierra Grade.  Grupetto for me.  The team has been riding well, some of our guys are really flying. I think that with the right break we could still have a shot at winning the Teams Classification.
Two more days and two more chances for a stage win.  There is a good chance that the break will go the distance tomorrow, I’ll be giving everything I have to make it into the early move.
