"Armstrong looks at Ullrich as if to say 'Are you coming with me or not?' And the answer is... not."
That is: "He's dancing in his pedals in a most immodest way."
"And that is a big surprise, I really thought his legs had left him behind a few kilometers back, but you see: He's French, its Bastille day, and all of a sudden, they're 1000 meters from the finish. "
When you've won the time trials, and you've won in the hills...well, all that's left to win is the Tour de France.
"he's reaching deep into his bag of pain right now"
best quote ever!
2nd favorite:
"Jan looks over to Armstrong as if to say; oh I wish I had your legs right now"
From last year:
"It says Carlos Sastre on his helmet, but also on his heart"
Talking about Andy Schleck's potential to win the tour.
"He may even win it next year so Cadel better win it this year."
I smile whenever Ligget says "Big Tom Boonen" to refer to Tom Boonen, it sounds like such a porn name already, but adding "Big" at the start makes it a classic.
Can't remember who, but someone cracking in the Mtns:
"Bridge to engine room: more power. There is no more."
When Armstrong countered an attack, overtaking the attacker.
Ligget: Hello how are you thank you very much goodbye.
Came here to post this. I believe it was actually in one of the time trials when lance passed someone who started in front of him. Could be wrong though.
"As we approach the finish the scurrilous attacks are coming thick and fast"

"Once you pull on that golden fleece, you become two men.." On Wednesday's (17th) stage [96]: (of Bjarne Riis pulling ahead of the field yet again)
Last year some hottie was standing on top of a van wrapped in nothing but the Union Jack.
Liggett - "Well, if that isn't the best way to display the flag, I don't know what is."
Geez, all of the above, plus whenever Phil (or Paul for that matter) just talk about some historic fact about the area. Yesterday, they mentioned how in like 1200 the King of Aragon signed a treaty at a building they rode past. They are just ridiculously knowledgeable about everything. Greatest commentary team out there.
Liggett described today's leader as "The lonliest man in Europe"
Why can't we get a Track and Field/Marathon announcer like this?
Can't remember it exactly, but was in an Armstrong/Ullrich battle on a climb. Suddenly Lance accelerates away:
"Would you look at that! He's gone and has made Ullrich look like a club cyclist"

Every year during the TdF, I think the exact same thing... They (usually) have 3 hours of basically nothing going on - the break 5-10 minutes ahead, the peloton just riding along, waiting to catch them. AND THEY STILL MAKE IT INTERESTING!
