jens_attacks said:as a rider,i love offredo big fan.attacker,brainless just like pirazzi.i want him again on the poggio no doubt.
but as a man of this sport,he's what i call a french whiner all the time,a big one.he had no respect for his job,a professional one.the pricc even messed with klodi,yep that kind of arrogance.
hope everything will be ok but offredo needs to man up and stop being a pathetic french whiner.allez!
Ryo Hazuki said:offredo is such a fantastic rider. can't wait see him again next year. rasmussen hasn't been banned either, right?
Michielveedeebee said:What's the problem with Klöden and offredo?
craig1985 said:What made me a fan of Offredo is that he went against the norm for French riders and said the TDF is at times boring and the Classics is what he likes best. Gadret is another who hates the Tour but loves the Giro, mind you the climbs in the Giro do suit Gadret well.

gooner said:Do you not have Sky then Hitch?
The Hitch said:I have the cheap Sky deal which has Eurosport, Eurosport 2, and some 500 other channels. It does not have the Sky Movies or Sky Sports or the ridiculously named Sky Arts (which should be called Sky celebrity interviews) bundles etc, all of which require substantial monthly cash payments.
