I don't think Ripley is gay. He appreciates good looks in other men, that's true. But he's married in later books. I'm not saying he's very strong in the sex department. But he makes it in bed with his wife.

Ripley is married. And he's not lost. He has his feet on the ground.

I still feel good, it's true, but Menchov hasn't failed and it looks like he hasn't done anything. I still have morale and even though I wanted to cut the time differences, I came to the Vuelta to win and I will keep trying.

He looks good. He looks the same to me.

GOOD LOOKS! Good looks with profit you with lots of friends and eyes.

You know I'm weak on good looks.
