One of my good friends is pink jersey #55 in that movie. :D (Love the cheesiness of that movie, it's like Point Break for surfing) edit: I just shared your page with him, and I liked it...... what can i say, I like Point Break too. :D

Followed the 2004 Tour from stage 8 to stage 20. It was the trip of my lifetime so far, a lot of wonderful riding and a great race to watch (I was still drinking the Lance Kool Aid).

I'm going to guess most that don't like sprinting or have no respect for it aren't sprinters themselves and probably have never tried a bunch sprint. It takes nerves of steel and strength, bike handling and an awful lot of effort. I'm no climber and I like watching climbing stages but if...

Watch the video of the finish again. The only time Gerrans moved is when he had to go around Talansky when he looked right. Then when he was around him he went back to the same place in the road and Talansky couldn't alter his momentum and went down...... moral of the story, look ahead. Same...

Vaughters (on Talansky) says "He's fine, what he said was I want an apology from Gerrans!" An apology for what? Talansky looking the wrong way?? :rolleyes:

Yes, to all of these. Fantastic game to watch. Both teams had times they were pressured, USA much more than Belgium. Can't wait for the quarterfinals. Such a surprise you're now rooting for Belgium Scott! :) Does anyone else think we were a bit unlucky with the one extra minute at the end of...

You look like Bjarne Riis......after he retired. :p

It was perfectly fine for you to wear it, and I would have made a comment. :D

Etiquette and respect are the reasons I (and I assume those who share my opinion) wouldn't wear the kits mentioned. Tradition is a great part of our sport. I long for the days when you didn't see 275 lb. world champions on every corner. Just because clothing manufacturers are willing to make a...

Wouldn't that make every jersey not worn by a team member a fake? Even those from back in the day (early 70's)?

Those of us in So Cal Masters Racing "lovingly" refer to the 35 plus age group as the 35 non negative...... the older group has also been referred to as Pharmafive plus (45+)......just some dark humor.

Must have done that study at a So Cal Masters crit start line........probably 35+ (read thirty five non negative) :)

He probably won. :D

Quik step have been good as long as I can remember going back to the Mapei days. When did Canc have a better team than Boonen (aside from Boonen's time on Postal?). I compare Canc and Boonen simply because they have ridden against each other.

Boonen also has the advantage of being on an incredibly strong classics team. You can't underestimate that.... take Sunday for example, Canc was outnumbered at every turn.
