Tweets and twittering !!!! Am I alone in thinking all this is a bizarre way for adults to behave? I am totally sick of the Lance and Bertie show and there is nothing to it but the fct that they don't like each other which they are not obliged to do.

You are correct in asserting that Indurain was superior to both. However wrong is asserting that only baseball rivals cycling in drug problems. North American NHL and NFL are both riddled with drug abuse and doping.

What a lot of palaver. Two great cyclists both wanting the Yellow pitch up in the same team and are determined to be top dog.....of course there is spite but FFS let it go now both of them. LA is LA with nothing to prove. AC has won it this year. Over and out.

Well he is better at getting top 10 finishes ( 10 to 8) and thus at the consistency the winning of the Green jersey demands. So yes he is good at something and that is winning the most coveted points jersey in racing....again.

I agree that this in not the place for such discussion so we should leave it. if you should want an elucidation on what an unpoliced society would actually be like i suggest you read Thomas hobbes rather than anyone on here.

Perhaps he is though to be honest I'm a reasonably well educated bi lingual holder of several third and fourth level qualifications so to be frank I doubt there would be a huge gulf in our respective levels of educational attainment and his reputed education doesn't stop him making stupid...

Fair point.

It is an example of the interfering prudish politically correct nonsense infecting so much of our public life. Look at how the blowhard in the White House got into difficulty when imputing racism to an arresting officer who dared arresat a friend of his. The officer rightly demanded an apology...

Arguably shows the need for a sprinters classification which the Maillot Vert in NOT. Cav 6-1 in stage wins but Thor 10-8 in top ten finishes and was out of the top 100 only 7 compared to Cav's 10. Thor legit Green jersey on CONSISTENT FINISHING which is what the Vert is about but is there an...

I bow down before his Royal Liggettness. He is the voice of cycling, the doyen.

Cavendish is Paris. It appeared straightforward but the fact that the rest of the teams and sprinters effectively abdicated any responsibility to contest on the great stage is indicative of his awesome speed.

Lance is 11 years older than Contador, 13 older than Schleck. He beat everyone who was within a decade of his age and what about a minute away from second. Fantastic performance. Fantastic rider. Superb competitor. 3 years away and comes back to the podium. What a magnificent performance.

The importance of the various races in the cycling season are set in stone and however interesting the parcours or the field that isn't changing. The Tour is the de facto world championship. Miles behind it and miles ahead of everything else comes The Giro. The Vuelta is the ugly sister of...

Firstly well done JM Garate on what is the crowning glory of a career not without real achievement. It was a very anti climatic stage. The great mountain deserves drama and what did we get? Cat and mouse. Never mind 3rd and 4th what Andy Schleck should have done was try to burn Contador. He...

Well Lance and AC haven't bothered trying to hide their mutual loathing so no surprise if we learn or get evidence that they don't like each other.
