Re: Re: Oh FFS, really? Let me rephrase that for you: He's got the most-downloaded sports and rec podcast https://toppodcast.com/top-podcasts/?search_string=&search_cat=22&search_submit=Filter (ahead of Barstool) and hundreds of thousands of people listening on a regular basis. Is having more...

Re: Re: He's got the most popular cycling podcast in the world, hundreds of thousands of people listening every day and cameos on NBC broadcasts. I'm not sure if that qualifies as rehabilitation but why would he step away? Apparently a lot of people want to hear him and his former teammates...

Re: For the fun -and the money. He has several sponsors.

He's the best GT rider of his generation. Why is it surprising that he rode a guy off his wheel once he fully recovered?

I'm the last person on earth to think someone's clean. In the Froome example, though, I don't think it was as extraordinary (with all the trappings of that word) as people claim. He got away from two tired contenders and a couple guys battling for the white jersey who had zero to gain by...

Re: Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 4 (Post-Settlement No doubt you're right. And while I could understand him holding those views I don't think it benefits his audience or show to express such personal vitriol. If I was, for example, NBC Sports and thinking of bringing him into the...

Re: Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 4 (Post-Settlement For the most part I found his Move tour podcasts enjoyable and insightful, especially when Hincapie was part of the discussion. Armstrong comes off has pretty much an unbiased observer with some interesting ideas most of the time...

Re: Why do people feel the need to do this? While I wouldn't be shocked to learn he used PED's (it's cycling, afterall) I've seen zero actual evidence that he did. This just seems like a baseless charge.

Re: Re: Oh I didn't mean to imply anything at all about Floyd. I just found it interesting that the CyclingNews podcast is brought to us by a guy who was stripped of his TdF title for doping and spent years fighting it. I'm not sure if "ironic" is the right word but it's certainly an...

Re: Re: Somewhat off topic, but has anyone noticed that the most recent Cycling News Podcast (covering Fleche Wallone, etc...) is brought to you by...Floyds of Leadville. Ya can't make this *** up.

I listened to a few of the Stages podcasts and, as I said earlier, usually found them pretty entertaining and occasionally insightful -certainly better than most TdF coverage. On the other hand, FFS do some homework beforehand. Stage 21 and Lance and his compadre still don't know if there are...

Re: Re: It's the second most popular sports podcast on iTunes. It's fine if you don't like it, and I don't blame ya. But apparently a lot of other people do.

Re: Re: Armstrong's a cheat and a fraud. That doesn't mean he can't add interesting commentary to the TdF. One of us can separate the two. One of us needs to be express moral and intellectual superiority over the huddled masses on (gasp!) aluminum frames.

Re: Re: Exactly my point. You can piss and take exception with his style all day. You can join the SoCal Attorney and spit in the wind hoping to land one on a disgraced Tour rider. That doesn't change the fact that it's an insightful podcast - as evinced by the figures it is pulling. Perhaps...

For the average, half-informed cycling fan the Stages podcasts are damn insightful and told with some entertainment. That some attorney from SoCal takes exception to his style is pretty meaningless.
