As opposed to the 145643 threads on LA/AC/Astana/Columbia & Garmin/Mark Cavendish/George Hincapie?

True. If it was another thread about LA shooting fire out of his eyes to incinerate a podium-crasher, then it might have been too much to warrant a new thread.

What a thug. Sure it was a stupid stunt, and sure it would **** me off too if I were the organiser, but that was straight-out assault and could well have injured the guy (or an audience member he landed on). I can respect tough action when it's needed, but this was just plain nasty.

Hinault is a nasty and embittered thug, but because he is perceived as 'anti-Lance', anything he does or says is glorified by the hate brigade. It's really as simple as that, sadly.

Hinault was never known for his patience - remember when he lashed out at protesters in I think 1984 when they stopped the Tour?

The invader on the podium deserves everything he might have got - broken bones, bruises, hopefully more. It seems from his shaved legs that he is a dedicated cyclist and he should have known better than to do such a stupid thing.

Honestly, do people have any respect for the biggest race in the calendar? It's one thing doing something stupid like that as a protester trying to make a point - that is almost understandable.

But to do it as a dare or whatever it was, that's just irresponsible. Hopefully Hinault will track him down and finish him off.

Bah! Hinault is a magnificent beast, and he always has been, and the enjoyment of his beastliness has nothing to do with Armstrong (who, by the way, is something of a nasty thug himself . . . it's a shame that he and Hinault don't get on).

I know you are new to the sport so you may not know that Hinault had a rather impressive career. Winning 5 Tours, The Giro, The Vuelta, PR, The WC, Amstel, etc. might be the reason that people listen to what he says rather then that he may occasionally introduce reality into the Armstrong discussion.

What country do you live in? Sure, here in the UK, the little men with clipboards would have been all over that. Maybe in the US too, but that's France.

Sounds like someone could use a glass of Testosterone.

What have you done with your fame Bernie? you are the french equivalent of a senior greater at costco checking cards and shaking hands living legends of past because you are unemployable and un marketable and lacked any enterprising skill after racing. you fell into a job where people could still tel you how great your are

Hinault's a *** and will always be remembered as one.

Hinault does that because he like it... he was happy with his farm. He don't need fame and spotlight.
What it' seems important for you can not be the same for others. Real life in natur is some times better than go on TV shows to lie, isn't it?
