I guess all wins are more exciting than Lance's wins - in your world.

Your posts are always guaranteed to make others facepalm because of all that blind hate. Same goes for your clubmate with that other cat-avatar. I wouldn't even notice if you would exchange your avatars.
Posts of the club are as unique as rubber ducks coming from assembly line. :D

It's like shooting fish in a barrel. All you have to do is throw a barb Armstrong's way and Cobblestoned will spend the rest of the day fuming with rage. He just cannot stand the truth about his man-crush.

It is hilarious to see the Trek-riding tools bothered by Contador racing to win all the time like a real champion instead of spending all his time being trained by doctors. Don't worry, little campers, you still have Andy and his booze to idolize.

Well, rage, because people like you ? lol
I am not in rage - I always facepalm with tears from laughing in my eyes :D
Did I say this ?
Link please !
Me bothered because Alberto ?
Link please !
Do I ride Trek ?
Link please !
Typical answer and tactics of a typical clubmate. Derailing truth and laying some comments into my mouth, that I never ever stated.

Must be hard for your logics and rules that:
- I don't hate Alberto
- Someone beeing German and not hating Lance
- I do not only follow cycling in July
- I ride a bike and race
- I still follow cycling after Lance retirement

Well, your doctor-comment says it all again, because Alberto would of course never use a doctor. Thank you.

And see, this is the reason why I wanted to keep Armstrong out of this, or at least really debating his riding

I think you need to check out the respective palmares of Contador and Armstrong during his Tour streak if you are going to criticise the truth. Contador has won 2 Paris-Nice, 2 Pais Vasco, 3 Castilla y Leon, 2 Algarve, 1 Murcia and looks like one Cataluyna.

Lance finished well-up in a few Criterium International, won 2 stages in one edition of Algarve, done well at 3 Amstel Gold which is late April and won one edition of Georgia, again in late/mid April. This hardly compares with Contador. He never won a single stage race in Europe during spring from the 'greatest Tour rider ever'

However I agree with you about Ullrich but then Jan usually had other problems to deal with and he was incessantly mocked about his spring form. Ullrich was never in the shape to do anything whilst Lance was in shape but chose not to do anything in spring.

Dude, I don't have any problem with Alberto. Is this clear now ? :rolleyes:
This is a poor presentation by some of you.

The problem are people here saying that Lance was insult for cycling and other bad things, that are definately not true.
Now that you start with Ullrich I had some hope, but then again you finish your post with "not to do anything in spring".
So we now are officially again at the point where we started. :rolleyes:

Waste of time to talk with stubborn people who indicate to move closer to middle, but then fall back again - only not to recieve some disciplinary actions by the clubs commitee. :D

You should tell your mates that they should at least try to make some sense when on mission here in pro racing forum.
Then discussions are usually no problem. Always same people that start trouble and provocating with unwarranted comments.

Someone should have a look at those people usually trying to carry their usual stuff from clinic to here - into the racing forum.

I am not the only one who is annoyed by them. Are they bored down there ?
Always same people turning everything into Armstrong and finally dope (when they have no more arguments) here.

The thread opened with a somewhat silly theory that GT contenders should leave winninng races earlier in the season to others, and in fact that there was some kind of "unwritten rule" that this should be the case.
Post #2 already seemed to steer the thread in a clinical direction.
It was not until #25 that someone (and you know who you are) mentioned LA, and given his penchant for not winning, in fact barely competing (with a few exceptions, and to be fair as an American he would want to spend more time over here than euro racers, after all there are hookers to bang) it did not seem that off topic. Of course then C'stoned had to rush in to defend his idol, and at that point we were off (topic) to the races.
Now he tries to come off vindicated and yet still persecuted at the same time when a mod comes in to try to steer us back on topic. Good going, u r awesome.
