Contador looks "Burley" compared to Frank...

[hector5950]

Realistically, Frank's newborn probably looks burly compared to his old man.

And this is how an anorexia patient looks like

I feel sick when I look at that! That is just not healthy.

This shot of Frank winning in Switzerland is scary.

Look at those guns! Not too bad.

No more half-wheeling Lance:

The other guy looks better than lance.

No sh-t, the other guy looks better than Lance. He gets paid to hang out in Malibu and do nonsense like this:

The closest cycling will ever come to the above cult of personality/culture of beauty is:

i'm not taking the pìss out of anyone or anything ok perhaps that man among men who goes by the name of rasmussen.

That covers around 50% of the Danish population, including our last 3 Prime ministers.

 

[RedheadDane]

why go for a run together if they're going to listen to each their ipod? what a pair of cretins.

I don't think you can do much talking when you're running anyway. I'd imagine it's simply have someone to sort of pace you... keep you going!

I'd hope so! Otherwise there'd be a serious problem!

nonsense.

like i said, a pair of cretins, trying to look fashionable when out for a run. I can see why matty wants LA there, always good to have someone less attractive next to you to make you look good

I always thought Rasmussen looked like a concentration camp survivor.

For kicks and giggles I put "Michael Rasmussen" into the krak.dk (essentially an elektronic phone book). I got 916 hits. Danish Politicians don't dare say bad things about Michael Rasmussen for fear of loosing the crucial "Michael Rasmussen" voting block. Probably only 3-4 suffer from early onset Alzheimers though so I'll give you a pass.

Maybe he is... and it somehow addled his brain; making him location-confused...

That's one lean chicken...............where does the strength and stamina come from ?

Hard to tell them apart.

Hey BroDeal,

how'd you get those pics side by side? Is there a program you use to facilitate this?


As for the Schlecks, they always look super-skinny. Doesn't translate very well into time-trial prowess, though.

Doesn't make them such fearsome climbers as one would expect either. They're both very good in the mountains but not exceptional.

So in your book, the only exceptional climber in the world is contador?

Contador is the best climber in the world. He has proven it all year.

Who is a better climber than him going into the Tour right now?

No one. This isn't opinion, this is fact from what he's done out on the road.

Berzin, if English is your second/third/fourth/etc. language, then you are forgiven, and I encourage you to consider the following online dictionary definition of "exceptional":

ex·cep·tion·al (k-spsh-nl)
adj.
1. Being an exception; uncommon.
2. Well above average; extraordinary: an exceptional memory. See Usage Note at exceptionable.
3. Deviating widely from a norm, as of physical or mental ability: special educational provisions for exceptional children

Please see #2 above.

If you were already aware of this common understanding of the word "exceptional", then you are simply a huge ------
