    30 for 30 - Slaying the Badger

    What's always puzzled me is how Hinault explains his position always leaving an air of mystery and interpretation...maybe it's a French thing. Saying "I wanted Greg to earn it" then following that up with loads of quotes that are somewhat contradictory to some of his actions. And what criteria...

    30 for 30 - Slaying the Badger

    Wow I had the same thoughts, Hinault attack in yellow would have been floyd landis like if it had it worked but I think he knew he had no chance of it...In some weird way I think 2nd place meant nothing to hinault and so he set out to rampage the race for basic fun. In noway am I comparing some...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Evidence is scarce for Horner's alleged doping...I don't think you can compare his prior lack of results because of the billion factors, like riding for others for most of his career. Horner would never have gotten the chance to ride for himself back in the doping days because of his weak time...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Armstrongs public perception will be forever tainted because of cancer...people can forgive anything but when you place urself in a position of great moral responsibilty and fail...like a preacher having an affair..then your dead. I divorce the two, the cyclist from the human, and I see no...

    Oakley Friends W/LeMond Again?

    Has lemond ever been asked about Indurain? If he hasn't then that would be a heckuva interesting reply...I would also like to know what Lemond would say about doping in general vs constantly being tied in with Armstrong personally.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Would the rules prevent an investigation and a subsequent asterisk key beside the winner's name? If you can't strip them of the titles then why not do the next best thing? Surely a sporting govt that was once ran like a banana republic can amend/change a rule...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Whats not logical is picking and choosing who to investigate in the last 50 years. If we are going to vacate Armstrong then lets be fair and get delgado, big mig, contador, merck, schleck. I am in favor of investigating them all rather then picking one era and I am pretty far from a fan boy

    Doping methods per rider please

    If frank schleck is using then he needs a new dr...I have a hard time believing frandy has doped since 2011 given the drastic drop off of performance. ..I think theirs more then a handful of these types in the group

    2014 Cleanest Peloton Ever

    I think this is the cleanest year since the arrival of epo. I just dont see a new drug on the horizon that was as easily accessible as epo, or that far under the radar with such risk/reward benefits as epo. I believe we have come fairly close to eradicating epo from the field even though its...

    R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to Chris Horner

    My hats off to him if it works but at his age I would fear that these miles will be to intense for him. If you look at last year's Vuelta he had really only ridden one minor week long stage race prior but was really fresh and I think that's what made him special there. It wouldn't surprise me...

    Phil and Paul

    You have to love Phil's constant missed prediction's under the 1 km banner sprints. He nearly does this every stage but today was particularly awesome. As I watching Kitowski (sic) make an obvious failed flyer at the 1 km banner Phil exclaims numerous times "he's got it, there not going to...

    Why does Emma have to be a schill just because she elected to move on. It sounds like she's trying to put the last 10 years of her life into perspective and come to grips with it. As fans we have an over hyped sensibility on this case but in reality, only Emma/Betsy/Frankie etc were...

    R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to Chris Horner

    Interesting that horner is trying to ride himself into shape at the TDF of all places. To me this wouldn't seem an ideal format to get base miles when trying to take on the Vuelta, I almost hope he is willing to pull out of the TDF at some point. This isn't a place to get base miles with all...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Ah I think the clinic overreacts to much on some of this. Their is a lot of grey area in all of this case. Armstrong deserved to be a villain because of the way he treated people but I can't make him a villain for 30 years of doping that goes back to at least Merck. That's basically what I...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Was Froome/Contador really that impressive yesterday? My knee jerk reaction was shock that they were attacking so much yesterday but when I went and relooked at the film it didn't look nearly as "alien" as I thought. The groups nearly came back together on a few different occasions and some...
