The fact that his English speaking skills are limited have a lot to do with it. American producers, journalists, executives believe Americans are only capable of rooting for Anglo Saxon English speaking competitors. This is reflected in the highlight reels and overall standings coverage. I...

I was rooting for Thor and felt he was robbed on Stage 2. But Petacchi is a worthy champion. His post interviews have conveyed much emotion. Glad to see him take it in the end.

It's all about interpretation, but if we look at history, today's tactics would suggest AC is once again, not a team player. AC has proven time and again that he is not a team man. He is taking after LA... win at all costs. Both bite. The argument that Vino would not have been able to match...

Correct. He cost his teammate the stage win and didn't even pull out the victory himself. If Contadope stayed on AS wheel and let Rodriguez go, Vino could have stayed on Rods wheel until the end. Vino did not crack. Oh well... the tour is always filled with coulda shoulda wouldas...

Exactly... another example for Contadope's insightful team tactics. It's all about him.

;) Always fun to read your posts!

Roman or AC

Armstrong may feign an injury and drop out... ego too big to suffer through to the end with no hope of winning.

Boy do I miss the old Cyclingforums...

I've been trying to read his journal on his official site for weeks. It's in german, but for some reason it isn't loading. Can anyone else get there? www.andreas-kloeden.com

I agree. It's interesting. For all the talk about wanting to win le tour, he ALWAYS choses to play second fiddle. And now that his contract is up, I just don't see him leading a team. He really needs to consult a sports psychologist.

Klodi doesn't talk to the press. So the premise that he is okay with the outcome of that stage because we haven't heard complaints from him is faulty. And to Publicus who has accused Andreas of not working for AC... I couldn't disagree more. Kloden is a great teammate and a class act. Any...

Well, it will be interesting to see which posters you selected as moderators. To be frank, moderation often kills forums than no moderation at all as the perspective of appointed moderator trumps all other perspectives. As a result, threads close, posters banished, and the forum becomes one huge...

Seriously? That's your example to indict Bro? There's nothing wrong with that quote. LOL! :p

Thanks for the perspective. What did Haussler do? And pity Fignon... :(
