Quite amazing what he went through in that year up against the mental god in Armstrong who ruined many people’s mindset. Ofcourse being 10% stronger than everyone else helps

On Eurosport yesterday he looked like he was fearing for his life on the back of that motorbike.....I’d be the same the way the drive around the cars and the riders at the back of the bunch

Funny :lol:

The most impressive alien exhibition I ever witnessed

Verbier was nothing compared to Hautacam 2000 or ADH 2001. Not to mention some of Pantani's climbs

He broke his hand a couple days ago after his dog took him down while he was out on the bike walking the dog. Doctor said 1 month no bike so of course he climbed Stelvio today

No one has a bigger heart than the great one.

I will never forget him and The Chicken attacking each other like crazies on the Col de Peyresourde in the 2007 TDF. That's when I first really noticed Berto. He looks great/happy in the recent pic (even with the cast).

So that broken hand is his excuse to stop half way to the summit?

Must be kind of frustrating being a doctor working with (former) pro cyclists:
"I told him to take a months off the bike. With some luck he'll take a day off..."

Or halfway down the descent....

I totally forgot this thread existed. Without a doubt the thread I posted the most in in my early career in here.

The memories, I especially loved the winter/spring.

Yeah... Love is beautiful only while you're waiting for it.

How could you forget, this thread is an integral part of the forum's history. Name me a more iconic thread, I'll wait!

The Babes on Bikes thread?

The 2011 Tour de Suisse stage 9 race thread?

The Babes on Bikes thread?

The 2011 Tour de Suisse stage 9 race thread?

I wasn't here back then, but are you telling me that Leipheimer was a less popular bike rider than Cunego?

 

[Oldermanish]

Leipheimer has faded into the background, even in California. He doesn't get much attention but also wasn't an outrageous personality so maybe less negativism than Cunego?

The Babes on Bikes thread?

The 2011 Tour de Suisse stage 9 race thread?

Babes on Bikes was the ubernon-pc, guilty pleasure of every geeky male cyclist. It had many, many contributors.

 

[Gigs_98]

I actually always disliked the BoB thread but it still kinda makes me nostalgic about the time when I joined this forum. I gotta say, a lot has changed since then, and it's not even that long ago compared to many other members.

You would have to review the thread to get an understanding of where Leipheimer stood among the majority of regular posters in the forums at that time and to appreciate the level of entertainment to be found in the posts that were a reaction to that stage's ultimate result. Brought me to tears of laughter.
