    Lance gonna ride alone

    I about spit out my beer - funniest thing I've read all day. Seriously? That is hilarious. This place is always good for a good laugh. :D

    Livestrong did you know ...

    What is surprising to me is that many are/were NOT aware of this. I guess being so close to the machine, seeing it "in action", etc...it's been clear and no sercret that the .com and the .org are different, it was clear when the .com started about a year ago. Two totally different agendas...

    can LA win Leadville this year??

    "CAN" he?? uh....yea. WILL he, not sure but he most defintely can. He finished second by only a few minutes and they BOTH broke the previous record by something like 30 minutes I think. He hung with the #1 guy the whole time and then at the end said "go on, I don't have it". I am guess ing...

    Why LA is not a doper (seriously)

    Again with this legend stuff. See - whether or not he deserves to be called a Legend, whether or not any of US believe he is a legend or deserves to be called a legend .....he WILL and IS a legend whether we like it or not. WE are not the general population, WE are cycling fans and as we know...

    Why LA is not a doper (seriously)

    Thing is ........ as much as you might hate it, Lance IS a legend. Most of the main stream population doesn't get into this nitty-gritty cycling/doping cr@p like we do, so all that most people know is that he almost died from cancer that robbed him of a testicle and attacked his brain, he beat...

    Contador speaks out on doping.

    "Examining the psychology of his answers" I wouldn't examine Contador's answers too carefully because they are translated and a LOT has gotten lost in translation, much to his detremant, some to his advantage. I MUCH prefer to see him speak - he CAN speak English, just doesnt understand it...

    anyone happy the chicken is back?

    I really don't care that he is back, but it is what it is and he has a right to be back. Since he was never a proven doper and never had a positive test, he "deserves" to come back more than most. I bet this time around he doesn't go ANYWHERE without making sure EVERYONE knows where he is...

    Cav disqualified!

    I found the article on the home page interesting in that it states "Hushovd tried to pass between Cavendish and the barriers on the right side of the road. The barriers edged further onto the road and Hushovd had no space."

    Cav disqualified!

    I am not seeing it. I don't really care one way or the other, no bias for or against either sprinter, but I have watched it several times and I still don't see it. Looks to me like Cav stays straight and Thor gets squeezed into the barriers. I mean....they are sprinting, so BOTH bikes are moving...

    Cav disqualified!

    Beautiful. No response to my interpretation of the slo-mo replay? I am curious what others think. Not about my opinion of how the race finished, but how others view the barriers, taking a certain line, WHY Cav was penalized, if you think that was right or not (I am sure I must be missing...

    Official thread TdF Stage 14 Colmar - Besançon - 199 km

    I disagree about Roche. I watched the race and until the end, he WAS sitting on the back of the break. Which is exactlly where he should be, doing zero work. They commented on this several times. I don't know why he quit riding in the back with 20-30K to go, but now your explanation makes sense...

    Cav disqualified!

    I don't understand why no one is talking about the Columbia response to all this. I watched the sprint and my first thoughts were: *wtf is Columbia doing sprinting for, they are taking the yellow away from George! * whatever Cav did didn't look that bad on tv. Now I read that the barriers...

    Official Lance Armstrong thread

    Who, who is this "all anyone has been talking about" - who? I read cycling web sites for my cycling news and I don't see any Cancer or Livestrong headlines. Main stream media/local news is total cr@p for real cycling news, most know that (even here in Austin, it's better but still all fluff, as...

    Official Lance Armstrong thread

    And I think many cycling fans are lying if they say they really thought Lance was going to come back and NOT be as competative as possible. Seriously?? Who really really thought he was going to come back and NOT do his best to win. If he found himself in good form, he would compete to win. If...

    Official Lance Armstrong thread

    You stop at the word awareness and what....quit reading??? Awareness, research, fund raising, inspiration. I really do hope you are one of the lucky few who's life has not been affected by cancer and that is why you don't get *it*.
