TdG Brasstown Bald spoiler

Great stage today. Why are there no time bonuses in the TdG? Obviously that made a difference. Discovery really hit Floyd hard but he hung on. He is looking more and more like a threat for the podium of the TdF.

I really would like to ride Brasstown Bald someday. I have relatives in that area so maybe I'll have to visit them. Have any of you ridden it? If so just how brutal is this climb?

yeah good thing you hooked him up with that awesome triple veloce crank from uncle heimie's basement that may or may not have had matching crank arm lengths for his 2nd place finish in mt. washington.

dude-
you're private messages are full. erase that 'ish and go over to the italian thread and see how funny the jerk is. burritos from fountains. the jerk is a heart attack a minute.
