Do you think Berry Floor is having an influence on the Postal team tactics? I’ve never seen them win so much in the early season.

Zabel second in a sprint?? Could he be making a run for his final hurrah?? Seeing all the new sprinters…with Zabel and Cippo at the Tour…going for it…pulse is starting to race…how much longer is it? And oh yeah…those other two guys who are trying to win it all might be alright to watch too.

And Michael Barry has been sprinting pretty well as well and it appears is the final guy on the lead out train, not bad for someone who was a climber. Too bad they couldn’t make Hincapie into a sprinter and instead turned him into a climber.

It should be interesting to see what Barry does in the hillier World Cup races.
