As my Aussie friend once told me, "If we wore our flag's colors, we'd look like everyone else."

I'm surprised. EBH looked much stronger at the end of the stage today than Wiggo. Heck, EBH even passed Wiggo in the last 300 meters or so. Why isn't he the team leader now?

I can't stop laughing at that Frank comment. When did he hear this? When he was finishing 1:30 behind Wiggo? Honestly, I think Froome is a team player. It sucks, but sometimes being part of a team means sacrificing your own aspirations for someone else. If he doesn't like it, he needs to...

Here is my made up Phil and Paul commentary. Imagine, if you will, a chilly Sunday in early April on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, when someone jumps out of the pack....... Paul: Well look at this cheeky move! This is impressive. And you know, this man is really a strong bi' rider...

Aww yes. Cycling, the beautiful sport where if your intended plan is going too well, you should immediately scrap it and go with a new one.

I do like that Goss' response is basically "Well yeah I got in his way, but it wasn't as bad as it looks." I guess that is how you say you did the wrong thing without actually admitting it.

Oh I completely agree. Like I said to someone else a few posts up, if I don't put a disclaimer, than anything slightly not anti Lance turns me into a huge Lance fan. I honestly don't care what happens to Lance and I'm not saying he doesn't need to be punished in some way, I just feel that...

Sorry I was kind of being a D bag.

I in no way shape or form think Lance is innocent. He's a self promoting narcissist who thinks he is made of teflon. Seriously, the guy tweeted a story about one of the judges reviewing his case being a pervert. I am in the situation where if I say anything that is not out and out crucifying...

I guess I should have said that I love Lance, have all his books, collect every magazine he has ever been in and wear no less than 13 Livestrong bracelets when I go ride on my US Postal replica Trek whilst wearing my Lance world championship jersey?

I dunno, I think this may hold some weight. I guess, I should say the statement that this tour is much much cleaner than recent ones may hold some weight. With all the talk of this tour being about the time trial and the usual mountain selection not being as big of a factor, there has been a...

I guess I'm obliged to say that I am in no way a Lance fan nor have any allegiance to the Livestrong army before I start out. If at all possible, can we take off the I hate Lance colored glasses and speculate on what happens if he does get banned? I know that can be tough, but I think there...

I was gonna say, there is a ton of research on the subject. It has to do with the increase in blood capillary density in the muscles and increase in hemoglobin. However, there is potential to do too much altitude training. In that situation your body will begin to break down muscle mass so...

If you thought Indian food was hard on your stomach, then you've never tried German food.

This is a two part question. Which cyclists, if they would retire today, would you put in a best of all time list? Also, for those cyclists who are borderline, what would they have to do to make your all time list? For example, I would say that Boonen (Classics king, 4x Roubaix winner, 3x...
