Names You haven't helped the case at all. You are claiming that I am too dumb to even recognize when I am being slammed. I resign from these forums. You third grade mentality members aren't worth the effort to raise a constructive discussion.

Attack Wrong. I was called names, accused of being ignorant, and personally vilified. Few made any mention of actually apposing my comments.

Victory. Good sprinting. I stand corrected; you are one of them. I read peter Sagan's comments about his team's efforts and purpose on the stage. I wish to retract the derogatory remarks I made about the victory. I now see him as an honorable and gentlemanly athlete who was playing his...

Team Cannondale. Well said! Your team did it's job well, getting you to the last 200 meters. Your sprint capped a brilliant day of teamwork and winning strategy.

Drugs. Marco Pantani was never cited for drug use but he died from an overdose during the off season.

State championship. First off, I still ride, and on a hilly course of twenty miles, but not every day. My racing was in the fifties. No USCF, only the Amateur Bicycle Racing Association: I think that was it's correct name. Imagine the Nationals on the dirt horse racing track in Daytona, or on...

Stationary racing. We had two sets of rollers hooked up to a three foot diameter dial with two pointers like clock hands, one to each set of rollers. A red one and a green one. We always had a small audience, mostly our bicycle club members. Watching which hand was ahead spurred the racers to...

Ohio. In those days we raced a one mile, a two mile, a five mile, and a ten mile race on day one. Points were awarded. On day two we raced a twenty five mile. The highest point holder was the state champion. The first three received monetary assistance and an invite to the Nationals. There were...

Teaching. I was reacting to the "lesson" about racing by a previous post.

Ohio I was Ohio state champion. I also hold the intercity record from Cleveland to Columbus, Ohio

Sprint title. As a five time state champion I am well aware of the various configurations of cycle racing. Track racing is a whole different sport than road racing. Just as mountain biking, or cyclocross is. Road racing sprints are a contest of teams, trains and crowded roads. Many times the...

Maoutain climbing. As a five time state champion I a well aware of tradition. I have seen the rise of mountain biking to a respected level. I have also observed that the winner of the KoM jersey in the TdF is not the best climber, he is the best opportunist. I think you will agree that the...

No question that he AND HIS TEAM out climbed the rest of the sprinters. His team won the stage. They should have all crossed the finish together. I can remember when sportsmanship was dominate in the TdF, Armstrong waiting for Ulrich and vise versa. Lately we saw Contador win by taking advantage...

Cycling should start a new type of mountain climbing race to really find the greatest mountain climber. It might work like this: Establish a course on a challenging mountain with a broad straight finish. Let one hundred proven wannabees enter, no teams. Through a series of elimination races find...
