I feel that the UCI is like a good ole boy network of relics stuck in the stone ages with regards to some of the rules in place trying to keep things "the way they were". While the intent of the rules was understandable at a certain point in time, they have failed to adapt and accept that...

Since I'm feeling a little agitated this morning, I'm going to start a unifying thread. Per Bruyneel's interview on cycling news, "Lance realised he wouldn't win the Tour after the first mountain top finish in the Alps, at Verbier. It was clear: Contador attacked and took 1'35" on Lance. Until...

I could not agree more. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed and sounds like a *** emotionally inept yahoo. He should have been driving that break if he wanted the yellow.

What was embarrassing was what LA did the other day into the wind calling his 2 teammates to help drive the break to gap his supposed "co-captain".

Bruyneel stated in his post race interview that there was no team plan other than to communicate with the others. What team plan were you referring to? The LA interview where he said there were team orders not to go for it? LA was full of it. The fact that JB said what he said after the race...

While you have a good point with regards to team plans and etiquette, I don't agree here. Just because a teammate has the yellow, that does not make them team leader throughout the race. Fabian is one example. Also, the rules in this tour are completely different. If there was no contract...

I participated in a tour pool with some close friends. I had 2nd pick, since AC was chosen and I could not pick LA as there was just no way to tell what his condition would be. (I chose Cadel solely based on his consistency in the last few years) It does not surprise me that he is doing so well...

Not a chance-unless it's after AC has put a lot of time into all others including him and there is no way to pass him on GC.

Good question frizzlefry. I thought about what tactics would need to unfold in order to favor either AC or LA in the upcoming mtn stages. Fortunately, there will be many other factors, other attacks, probably a break up the road, that it will come down to spur of the moment decisions. On a very...

It's all about PR control for Bruyneel at this point. "The team is unified, all working together, strongest will win, no designated leader" All BS. All this talk about AC upsetting ALL his other teammates is BS. I would wager that more dislike LA in the peloton than like him. If a teammate does...

There is a lot about sunscreens and the ingredients that most people, even every single dermatologist I've ever spoken with (not to mean that not one single dermatologist knows such things) is not aware of. Here's a link to a site that has the most detailed info I've ever seen and has made me...

I sure hope that that's not what's going to happen. It's a great display of domination but in the end not so good for the sport. TFF, I tend to agree with you on your points but why berate others and their opinions just because they have a low post count or are new? Wouldn't it be better to...

My sentiments exactly. Later in the year, there will be no Astana as it exists now and they all know it. AC wanted out of the team a long time ago, they all know it. All the talk about the moral "sky high" and "everything is great in the team" is rubbish. I can't wait to see AC attack later. Sad...

You should consult something other than yourself before trying to correct someone. I wrote what I meant and what's correct.

Whether Levi or Kloden ended up front with the break is something that would have depended on so many factors and exact position at the time when HTC drilled it to force the split. As strong as they are, they are not just going to say, hmm, there's a gap and it's now at 15 seconds and I'm sure...
