Great result for team Gewiss.. sorry, the Swiss in the women's MTB this morning.

Turned down his rocket fuel today then. Barely out of breath. Someone clearly had a word after that stage.

And the toll it took on those who didn't die but felt they had to compete - Pantani, Ullrich; I'm sure there are many others. And those who are clean but can't compete and either scrape by as domestique fodder or quit the sport entirely. But hey, as long as it's entertaining, who gives a feck...

The new Sestriere 1999.

This is absurd.

Re: Re: Struggling to think of Quintana as a victim, that's like saying Zulle was robbed by Larry, or Beloki was robbed by Larry, or Kloden was robbed by Larry, or Froome was robbed by Wiggins etc. ;)

Has anyone mentioned to Brailsford that with Wiggins, Sky have won one GT and thrown away 2 by asking team-mates to wait; without Wiggins they would have won 2 GTs and currently have a good stab at a 3rd...?

I wonder if they'll blow open the domestic UK omertà then. I hear people have known about Mr Six's delectations for quite some time.

His excuse on this occasion was that he had family commitments and wasn't due to race; he was forced to race by his DS and wanted to get straight back to his family afterwards. (because it takes so long to pee into a cup. I recall it taking me ooh, at least 2 minutes to complete urine tests.)...

Just had a thought - if the UCI strips LA of his yellow jerseys on Monday, does Livestrong get stripped of its yellow logo?

An old and failed method that Katusha tried to implement a few years ago. As I recall, Ben Swift used it as the reason to cancel his contract and move to Sky. Wonder if Swifty will have the same principles on this occasion.

He channelled Jimmy for years. "Lance'll fix it for you, and you and you and you..." "Lance, I want to ride the Tour de France" "now then now then, stick this in your *** and you can, young man. are-a-are-a-are". (that's stick a syringe in your ***, don't be so filthy minded).

I liked the bit where he says "I just have one request. Will you say yes before I ask?" And then silence as everyone is thinking "I ain't saying yes without knowing, you might request I do a blood transfusion". Full speech is online now. http://t.co/0c78hkkt

Brilliant. Like a Ricky Gervais sketch at his best. 94% "thumbs down" on youtube, and every single comment is anti. Love it. Hey Lance. I had a dream. It's now becoming reality. Jackass.

Hi there, good to see you in here. As you may have seen from another thread, you are my last childhood "hero" without an asterix next to their name... I learnt to ride the boards as a kid at Saffron Lane in the early 90's and the story of your world title never got boring no matter how many...
