    The Tour de Oprah (WT) (1 team of 1 rider) Live Thread

    what are you talking about? doctor patient confidentiality isn't a law, and I know plenty about laws I love LeMond, he was my hero when I was racing. when have I ever bad mouthed him?

    The Tour de Oprah (WT) (1 team of 1 rider) Live Thread

    no, you are wrong about that, if a nurse was in the room, they would be bound also, and if it is a friend in the room and they did that, it's even worse. of course the information was about an illness, he was in the hospital with cancer, the doctor needs to know honestly what drugs, food...

    The Tour de Oprah (WT) (1 team of 1 rider) Live Thread

    don't get me wrong, I love LeMond, the way he raced. he is the greatest American cyclist of all time, but how quickly people forget about the Tour the year before he won. he made a deal gifting the win to Hinault in exchange for Hinault's support the following year. that is CHEATING. but this...

    please don't give the power hungry moderators on this forum any crazy ideas. nothing in his statement was offensive or vulgar, he just stated his viewpoint, easily as valid as yours. the problem with Betsy is this thing called doctor-patient confidentiality, a very important concept in saving...

    how quickly people forget about the deal LeMond made with Hinault, giving him the Tour. cheating at it's worst you can't push a teammate up a hill either or take one hand off your bars to engage another rider, that is cheating

    What Road Frame To Buy?

    this thread was up yesterday (not started by me) but it is gone today, what happened to it and why? censorship seems to be greatly increasing on this forum, a thread about an article CN published (Dr Saugy) was closed the same day, no more discussion about it????? why can't we talk about what...

    Amstel Gold finish line change

    Worlds proved that the last 2k were meaningless. a pretty big group hit the base of the Cauberg and the 3 riders that went over the top were the same 3 at the finish, and on that day (and a good percentage of days every year) the wind was coming from Germany so once over the top it is a pretty...

    OPQS Presentation & Championships 2013

    that is not Cav, he was on an all black Specialized last night, and I'm pretty sure he had the bands on his jersey sleeve, kinda hard to see. did anybody else think Cav sandbagged the final sprint vs Tommeke?

    OPQS Team Presentation @ Merckx Velodrome, Gent

    that was pretty cool, def the best team presentation ever. I think Cav sandbagged the final sprint against Boonen, giving Tommeke the 1st OPQS champion jersey. Cav and Iljo rode a great, tacticle semi with Cav edging him out, then in the final Cav willing took the front and just slowly wound...

    National Championships 2013

    congrats to U23 WK Lars Van der Haar for winning the Dutch elite men's nationals, and a big high five to Klaas Vantornout for winning in Belgium, riding away on the last lap from an elite group containing, WK Albert, Kevin Pauwels, Svn Nys, and Rob Peeters, much deserved to a hard working rider.

    Where can I watch live Cyclocross?

    Cyclocross is not about sitting on your warm couch and watching, it's about getting out there and supporting the riders with crazy handups. find your local cross races and go to them, it is really popular in USA now so every area has races. get out and participate!
