Great win by the Garmin team today! That's how to run a team..... that's how to repay the sponsors. With victory!

USPS got seven wins for their sponsorship but many still believe they got shafted.

Anyhow, do you have a Garmin? I do.

I do have a Garmin. Great products. In my car, on my bike, even have one of their phones. Great company.

I'm happy to support clean cycling.

I like it, but I've had problems with the battery on my edge 705. Had to get a replacement. Hesjedal should have been docked a minute for this.

705 wasn't a great model. They've thinned out the units now and use lithium-iron batteries which are much better. Last longer. The 800 is an excellent piece of equipment.

You might have noticed at the end of each stage Hesjedal would hit the button on his Edge to keep the data accurate. Great use of technology. They're right ahead of the curve this Garmin team.

USPS must be very happy that their brand will forever be connected with one of the greatest frauds in sports. All those great articles about a USPS team doping programs, transfusions on the USPS team bus, they must be very happy. :rolleyes:

Wonderboy's list of enemies is long, very long. Vaughters is certainly in the top 3 if not the #1 sport.

In the last 18 months JV's team has won Paris Roubaix, was all over the Tour, and now has won the Giro.

Meanwhile Wonderboy's team has folded, he is facing multiple legal challenges and USADA sanctions that will be coming any day. His partner in crime Johan has taken the top team in the world into chaos.

Poor guy. :( all that hate

I don't think that's quite how it's seen by most ordinary people. And even if it were, there are plenty of sponsor's like Rabobank that stick with the sport after scandals.

I'm sure they were happy back when Lance had his winning streak. Didn't Floyd say Garmin was US Postal 2.0? If he's right they might not like being connected with Vaughter's team in ten years time.

I think he's more concerned with winning in Tri, which he is doing.

You are welcome to pretend that people don't care but once this is all over the lasting memory of the USPS team will be doping. Bags of blood. Exactly what the sponsors where trying to avoid when they put the doping clauses in the contract.

And they do it clean. Even kicked out Matt White for referring a rider to a dodgy doctor. Zero tolerance.

I think it must sting team Lance that you can win clean and take good care of your sponsors.

Ahhh yes. Wonderboy has suddenly changed, dropped all the anger and petty vindictiveness that drove him for years.

Yet another great thing about Tri's, they sooth the savage beast. They are lovefests. Riding a bike in a Speedo changes people, make them warm and fuzzy

Best part about the next few months we get to hear more about Wonderboy harassment of critics.

I'm sure it hurts that Vaughters is winning, but not that they're doing it clean, because there's no way he believes that. If anything he's muahaha-ing over them turning to the dark side.

We'll need some links to back up this obvious slander.

They all live in the same town and team Garmin is the only remaining team with a full-scale anti-doping program.

I rest my case.

Sure he is a tough character, but you tend to get that in sports. Look at Cav and the way he gets riled up about people. But Armstrong isn't a cartoon character.

It would be easy to say you are motivated by hate, but I'm sure there is more to you than the petty vindictiveness you present here. Life isn't black and white.

Post, not poster.

I missed the part where Cav harassed someone until they had a seizure. Do you have an example of Cav suing people? Calling their employer to get them fired? Getting his groupie fans to harass them?

The "Everyone else is doing it" excuse didn't work with Lance and it doesn't work for Wonderboy

Is that a joke at yourself? You're whole act is a personal attack.

You're the only person I've seen claiming he gave someone a seizure. I don't think that type of hyperbole does you any service.

It's not baiting to turn Ryder Hesjedal's victory into an opportunity to make extremely dubious personal attacks on Armstrong?

If I understand correctly, you want to "undupe" Polish, JRT, Cal Joe, and the others by arguing about Lance Armstrong in this forum? I can't believe that you even dream of such a monumental feat of persuasion.

No.

I personally do not care or feel a need to control others' feelings towards Lance.

I just want Armstrong to be publicly exposed for his wrongdoings and see him have to answer for it--not get away with it.

Do you have any problem with criminals getting caught?
