It's 5 for me. I consider Menchov a 3 time GT winner and Pereiro a GT winner so even though I like Bertie, I can't be a hypocrite.
(7 0n the road but 5 officially)

You are a hypocrite if you consider Menchov to be a 3 time GT winner I'm afraid. ;)

Menchov was clearly doped. Certainly now it seems more and more certain half the Rabobank team doped in the years before blood passport

Would love to see him win the Wolrd's ITT. The course definitely suits him and with Froome and Martin in bad shape he should be favourite.

And how can we Celebrate lance's zero titles if put Bertie at 7?

Heck, go on over to the stage 20 thread and this one doesn't belong to AC either. And doped or not, what did Lance do to win his but follow wheels? If you want to play that game we can all play it forever, with every rider in every race. Heck, I can argue that the Patriots won the 1st super bowl against the giants. Doesn't erase the disappointment of the fact they lost.

It makes no never mind to me re: Lance, and I have posted more than amply on Lance in all the numerous threads in the clinic. I veered way off course where the topic rages else where on this message board.

Eating a dodgy steak or taking a rogue supplement or whatever it was does not equate to a decade of basic fraud. It's 7;)

Calm down anyone before you need to. I'm being flippant in a fanboyish mood tonight:)

Apparently Contador was already celebrating while riding up the climb knowing that Purito could not have succeeded in taking the 2min+ he had on him

- “sabía que en los últimos metros era imposible recuperar la diferencia que le sacaba. Sabía que Purito iba a atacar, pero yo había decidido no hacerlo y optar por seguir subiendo a mi ritmo para disfrutar."

which is reasonable if u ask me

Well as much as I like the guy; he was Suffering big time.

Athletes are the biggest poker players out there. I never have any idea when they are telling the truth.
