    Renshaw out

    Barredo and Costa did not danger anyone but themselves! Their actions took place AFTER the stage and competition ended! They were fined for their behavior AFTER the stage. Renshaw endangered dozens of riders! Dean NEVER made contact with him. What was way worse was the forcing of riders...

    Tell DirecTV that you want Universal Sports

    I am weeks away from switching from Directv to Dish after nearly 10 years. Without VS. Network there is no way to see the Tour, Paris Roubaix, Flanders, Etc... They really ticked me off about this dispute. When I called to ask what kind of price increase it would be to the consumer I was told...

    2010 Jerseys Thread

    Sky Team Sky's kits are the most hideous thing I have ever seen. It looks like they are wearing plastic garbage bags with a blue stripe.

    Anyone ditching Directv?

    Is anyone canceling with directv now that they no longer carry Versus? I don't think I can give up my 3 weeks of cycling daily every July. I think I'll give up the NFL Ticket rather than miss the Tour and Flanders, Roubaix, etc.. I have already called to voice my displeasure.

    Armstrong vs Lemond

    And your proof is what? Because you said so? Or was it because Walsh conjectures accusations in a book? It certainly is not based on any facts.

    Team Sky wishlist.

    Sky Roster Anyone have any rumor knowledge on who may join this team? Are they going after Wiggins and/or Cavendish? Who may be team leaders on this squad?

    Official thread TdF Stage 14 Colmar - Besançon - 199 km

    I agree with both sides. George, perhaps, should have just gone all out for 3K and tried to save time. But......Columbia should not have pegged the final 2K! Cav could have sat on Hushovd and sprinted against him, and what on earth was Astana and Garmin doing?!?!?!? Farrar didn't even contest...

    Official thread - Stage 13 • Vittel - Colmar• 200 km

    Great ride by Haussler! Bravo! This is the type I riding I crave watching. Even Chavanels ride was courageous. Feillu is showing to be a potential star, and an exciting, attacking rider. Fun stage.

    Think before you start a thread

    Exactly my point!! I can't read a thread about the race or a riders performance without the doper posters crawling out!!! It is infuriating, and I was just trying to show the absurdity of it. But, it usually only follows LA, so everyone elses great rides must be legit. Only Lance's are...

    Think before you start a thread

    And I'd like to see far less threads hijaked by doping accusations, etc...(Hi WBT) But I'll never get that, will I? On those lines, great ride Haussler - but it just means he doped up today, right? Instead of great, gutty ride and hard work, he must have just hit the needle yesterday...

    Think before you start a thread

    Well, unless there are posters here from Communist China, North Korea, Iran or Cuba, I am assuming most of the folks here from Western Europe, Great Britian or Australia are also in free countries and therefor also may start any post they feel like. Either that, or give out an email for the...

    Think before you start a thread

    How about its a free damn country, and anyone can start any damn thread they feel like discussing. If you want to censor what threads are made, start your own damn board and be the only thread starter. How about this....if you don't like a thread title or subject.... DONT READ IT OR REPLY...

    What Happens to the Astana guys

    Lance, Levi, Horner, and maybe Popo to the new Armstrong/Johan team. Probably adding Taylor Phinney. Maybe a couple guys like Rast, Paulinho, Vaitkus and Brajkovic stay on. Contador and Kloden go on to other squads. Vino can have all his useless crap Khazak riders!
