desperate move to get a spot in the giro. even though he's the national champ, i think that doesn't guaranty him/his team a spot in the grand tour especially they're just a continental team. hhmmm....maybe the cycling big bully is behind this?? :D simeoni can't get any offer from a...

4 more days of guessing before the race starts. and in 25 days time, we'll see who's the winner - not only in Giro but the fantasy race here in this forum....:) my pick for the GC podium - basso/cunego/armstrong OR lepheimer - only 1 of the 2 from astana and i can't pick a winner here...

i know, that's like one of the very few at the moment. let's see if it stays the same after the race starts and we get some results :) *oops, i just clicked on page 11 and guess what, the first posting on that page is from you and his name is there again .... arrrgh ... lol

Aren't this suppose to be a place for us to talk & share about pro cycling, the news in the peloton? but i noticed that regardless of the topic of the thread, when it's related to pro cycling, somehow we'll get postings implicating LA and his teams are doping and their conspiracy theories...

you're right, he's almost 40 and how many more years can he saves cycling in USA? but i think it's ok for him to do it while he still can. reading thru most of your postings, you just seem to have problem with anything related to him :) there's more in cycling than him.

that's the point, i'm not pro lance but i'm sick and tired when every other thread in CN regardless of the topic will somehow have a few postings implicating that lance is doping and that it's like he's the big bully in cycling. i mean com'on, they're all grown ups in the peloton, if you...

lots of responds :) guys & gals, first of all they're just my assumptions - i could be wrong, that's why i'm eager to hear from you guys what do you think. but from the feedbacks, it seems like my thirs assumption is the most likely. PuncturedTyre - my appologies for the ignorant sweeping...

it's funny to read assumptions/accusations/bashing/whining from spectators who are only involved in professional cycling from the couch of our living room when those who are directly involved inside the sports don't even care that much about doping - keep reading and you'll see why i say they...

you made my day!! lol

i'm sure there're reasons why the team (especially Johan Bruyneel) send/allow them to race Gila instead of Romandie as a prep race, we shall see if it's a right move in 1 month's time. if a team on vacation last year was called up last minute and they won the Giro with no prep, i don't see...

as an athlete, if you go to a race and you're fit, you go there with an aim to win, regardless if it's a pro tour event or a cat 5 local race. and with SRAM picking up the race that's dying, i don't see sending 3 guys from the team they sponsor to the race a problem especially when they're...

look at the starting list http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2009/apr09/romandie09/?id=startlist these are mostly tier 2 or 3 riders from Astana & Garmin who aren't TTT regulars. (maybe Zubeldia and Farrar are tier 1 riders but they're more of a climber & sprinter rather than TTist) Saxo &...

errr....i remember there are various opininons supporting various riders from various teams. so it's strange to see you make this kind of comment, so i guess this presumption from you probably put you in the ANTI Astana group, i could be wrong tho :) talking about doping in cycling which is...

Interesting thread topic but after reading thru 11 pages, maybe a more appropriate topic should be : "whiteboy (the hardcore AS & team Saxo supporter) vs the rest who are not - showdown". but heck, it's the internet forum and everyone is free to voice their opinions, so this is how i see it...
