For goodness sake, stop with the c o c k measuring contest...these threads have become Armstrongesque...If you are a Cadel fan apparently your tongue is so far up Cadels a r s e, Cadel doesn't know whether it is his or yours and if you are not a Cadel fan then you are the biggest b a s t a r d that walked the earth.
I come here to have a laugh and talk about cycling, currently I don't offer opinion on one (and I mean one) of my favourite cyclists, because by the time I have skimmed the s h i t that is posted in these threads you have done my phucking head in.
Currently there are two threads running perhaps it's time to put them all in one and you can do your best to out do each other as to who is the biggest p r i ck for or against Cadel.
Fair enough but that sounded like you wanted to measure yourself up as well. Don't take it so seriously. I don't and I assume the rest don't. This is just minor banter between cycling fans. Evans will always be a touchy subject, just like Wigans is. Maybe you overlooked the good points amongst the irritating ones? Evans new found confidence is good for him and cycling. He is one of the few guys challenging Spanish cycling supremacy and for that he deserves appluase. Plus for the first time in the past few years he is silencing critics. He is attacking and reaping the benefits. Credit should be given where it is due, and he deserves as much.
But on a side note, people can still comment about what we think makes the guy tick. If you really love him, that can sound harsh and unfair at times. It is simply (in my case) trying to explain the relationship between man, bike, team and his body and mind. What is working and what isn't and why/how things unfolded.
For all I know, Cadel could blow Liege apart and take a double win in the space of a week. That really would leave me guessing and trying to figure out how.
