Oh I get this board now..........if it doesn't say LANCE or ARMSTRONG in a thread, it's not important. Right :rolleyes: Thanks to those who took the time to read what I posted, and to actually give me the context I was asking for. Sorry to the others that it wasn't a controversial...

Sorry to barge in without reading the thread, and no doubt it has been pointed out ten times, but Northern Ireland is no more in Great Britain than the republic of Ireland is. Scotland, Wales and England are physically part of the island of Great Britain, Ireland is a physical island called...

Meaning Contador is definitely not a friend ;) I like Contador, myself. But this article is fairly blunt, shall we say? Of course you'd have to listen to Fuglsang actually saying "Now you can interpret whether it means that I don’t want to ride for him," because the written word is usually...

Aside from commenting on Eurosport, Sean Kelly has a cycling academy. Stephen Roche owns a hotel on the Cote d'Azur, right by the sea. Lucky him. Charly Mottet is a sport manager in Canada Ronan Pensec is a consultant for french TV, manages a cycling team and organises GT tourist...

I read Gesink also went around with broken stuff, although for a good deal longer

It's just back to basics, is all :p The winner of the 2nd Tdf in 1904 was disqualified for using a train on a night stage after all.

Somebody threatened to sue, that's all. Twitter or not, I'm quite sure it's valid fodder for libel lawsuits.

I agree, it's so much more drivelly than people who joined July 2010 instead.

You really think the fair weather fan will keep watching if there are no american riders at the top? I'm not talking the cycling fan, obviously.

Oh absolutely.

I'd rather "America", as in the wider public, would keep its nose out of the Tdf in the near and far future, i.e forever more. Does that make me a bad person? (not that I care, just inquiring) As for the team, I voted they'd be back under a different name. Lots of stuff happening soon with...
