For everyone else:
Here you find a video of the danish national anthem with the danish words. Listen to this every day before training until next years Tour de France. Memorize the words. Remind what it is all for - everything.

Onward? Lance is sensing all these tweets is a bit overboard?
Azdak6 said:I prefer Les Marseillaise. Now that's a national anthem.
Too bad you may never hear it again at the TdF in our lifetimes.
ThisFrenchGuy said:La Marseillaise (just to be uptight).
Maybe in our lifetime but not for long that's sure![]()
richwagmn said:This is really a fight AC didn't need. He was good (and smart) at avoiding the media battle during the tour. I wouldn't want to get into a media battle with LA. His minions are ready...
And yes, it is getting bizzare.

Cobber said:It seems to me that it didn't matter what AC said, this stuff was going to come out anyway. It almost looks like a media hit job by Lance and his band of goons. AC's comments were pretty benign and he hasn't said anything after those initial comments to my knowledge. Meanwhile... Lance, Bruyneel, Leipheimer, Ekimov, etc. are twittering these attacks one after another.
Looks like a hit job to me!
Yeah. Lance is saying this does not deserve as much attention as it's getting, let's move on.SpeedWay said:No. Lance is far down the road and telling Eki to join him. The devastation is at the back and the haters are stuck there saying the same crap over and over and over and over. To 98% of the known universe this crap means nothing.
I gather it's not just the comment but his whole attitude, including never (apparently) thanking the team.palmerq said:This is odd, infact it is entering realms of funnyness now :S I´m just bit confused what they are responding to, if bruyneel + co are responding to this mild comment by contador(and it is pretty mild) then I think they´re losing it, although I am thinking maybe something else has been going on which would make more sense. I want to hear from astanas tour team(klodi especially).
And for the sake of armstrong feelings I´m just glad he has only upset a mild mannered midget, Imgaine if he upset mcewen(or australians in general) or someone like david haye, his head and twitter would have exploded with the reaction he got form them.

I wouldn't have gone to his dinner either.

"I have never had great admiration for him and I never will"
Those words are not benign. They are genuinely mean and nasty.
My relationship with Armstrong is none-but independent from his personality, he's a great champion, has won 7 tours and done a great job in this one, but on a personal level(referring to his personality) I haven't had a great admiration towards his, and never will, but again-as a rider-he's a great champion.

Why would anyone say that about anyone else?
Imagine if Lance had said that about Contador!!!
"I have never had great admiration for El Pistelero and I never will"
Oh, the uproar there would be!
It should be noted that I can safely say that Lance would not say that about Contador or anyone else. In at least that respect, he has that much class.

mambo#5 said:just another thread where Publicus, TFF and the rest of LA haters take AC side. Onward....
Publicus said:Lance and His Merry Band of Nut Huggers are taking their team and going home. Mean, mean Alberto Contador. How dare you not love Lance! He won 7 TdFs, which makes him the greatest one testicle man in the history of one testicle men! Admire him dammit!!!!
In all seriousness, there is no side to this stupidness. You'd think at 38 year old man would learn know that no one is required to admire you. Apparently he has a lot to learn....
mambo#5 said:I agree with you, there is no side to the stupidness. You think a 27 year old who just won the Tour de France would focus on his achievement and move on. much to learn.
