    Freire Apreciation Thread

    Even though Freire might not retire it doesn't hurt to appreciate him. Personally I was very happy with his green jersey and how he got it.

    Freire Apreciation Thread

    They changed the articles in the press. Now the story is that the door for Freire is always open but that the original offer has been withdrawn but that a new deal could be negotiated.

    Freire Apreciation Thread

    Biggest Sports Disappointment?

    Second that. Seeing Ullrich in the nineties got me in to cycling in the first place. Worst personal experience would have to be losing an obscure badminton title in the youth categories when I should have been one year stronger then when I got the title. After I that I quit sports in general...

    2011 TDF: Stage 19 - Modane - Alpe-dÂ’Huez

    No way that Andy should work with Contador here. The only way Andy can lose the tour is if he blows up, the only way he'll possibly blow up is if he works too much. Disclaimer: I'm a huge fan of AC.
