Amy,

Thanks for giving pub to TT1. These guys are awesome in what they are accomplishing. Phil Southerland is blogging about how he manages his BG during the race: http://philsoutherland.blogspot.com/2009/02/survival-game-and-diabetes-game.html.

Thanks again for your great blog,

Thank you for drawing attention to this. I will be watching Stage 7 in Pasadena on Saturday from the sidelines but had no idea about this team. My daughter is type 1 and needs all the positive, awe-inspiring role models she can get.

Thank you.

Yes Team type 1 is doing well and you are correct that is team Type 1 in the green, white and purple. The guy who is in front though is not Levi Leipheimer it is another rider from team Rabobank. Leipheimer ride for team Astana which has a teal, yellow and white jersey.

I am glad your are featuring cycling on your blog it does wonders for the BG levels.

Unless one more has abandoned since Stage 3, there are still five riders on the race, per their Twitter feeds:

“Southerland was listed as being disqualified from Stage 3 for holding onto a vehicle. But race officials have since reinstated him. #atoc
16 minutes ago from web
Team Type 1 will start Stage 4 with five riders: Phil Southerland, Fabio Calabria, Matt Wilson, Chris Jones and Valeriy Kobzarenko. #atoc
17 minutes ago from web”

Southerland had “lanterne rouge” (dead-last) honors going into Stage 3, and Calabria was right in front of him. Both our T1 riders are still in the race.
Adalpe abandoned at Stage 2 due to illness. Lill abandoned yesterday due to knee pain. MacGregor had a crash which ended him up in the hospital (fortunately only minor injuries).
I’ve been TiVo’ing the day’s stage (on Versus TV)
