    Tom Boonen Discussion Thread

    I love Boonen....just seems like he was happier when he was winning vs. Cance and his "Stop marking me" attitude. But...Boonen was living "on a cloud"....or is that "Up" in the clouds? Still a big fan. I hope he has ONE good run left in him.

    Teams & Riders Peter Sagan discussion thread.

    Re: Racers Race and that's that. Can't deny anyone who wants to go and win on the world stage. And besides, even if he tried to keep a low profile, he'd STILL be a marked man due to his known past. Anyways, his team will be so weak compared to the power houses (Spain, Germany, etc) that any...

    Tejay Van Garderen Discussion Thread

    Re: Tejay Van Garderen That's because you poor guys have to endure 30 minutes or so of commercials every hour, and you must be seduced to watch them. It's 2 or 3 minutes per hour on the German government TV, and the commentator doesn't inflict migraine. :cool: You have no idea how bad we've...

    Tejay Van Garderen Discussion Thread

    Re: Tejay Van Garderen You must have a different set of commentators than we do in the US....these guys here have been touting TJ "with his diesel like engine built for the Alps" as a top 3 contender....like they did last year with "The Pit Bulldog" from Cannondale...it seems that any American...

    Re: Re: Uh, that's why it is a team sport. Everyone has a job to do. That's why Renshaw is Cav's most important teammate no? Come on man, stop the pickiness.

    30 for 30 - Slaying the Badger

    That part of the story may have been included to possibly show the unknowing people who watched lance do his thing and thought "This is the greatest American cyclist ever...he's blazing trails never driven before" when those of us who watched LeMond from1985 on knew better. ESPN reaches a...

    30 for 30 - Slaying the Badger

    That's so true! Especially when Andy said that the coach told him to "go win the Tour" during that one attack. What?!?!? Amazing story. I wish Steve Bauer had been interviewed as well. I don't know if he'll ever get the credit he deserved, but Greg was the original champion to us 1980...

    30 for 30 - Slaying the Badger

    Did anyone watch the ESPN documentary last night? It was about the 1986 Tour de France and the battle within the LaVie Claire team. I thought it had some really good interviews...coaches, riders (good to see Andy Hampsten), other folks who lived it with the riders. I can admit this is...

    Will The Real Andy Schleck ever Come Back?

    And this is the guy who was given the Tour champion jersey when Contador got popped? LOL, this isn't even funny anymore. It used to be a good joke, but this guy is not geared to be one of the riders who are labeled winners.
