What is so bad about that? Just a bit of small talk and it was a book signing so I couldn't have a full converstaion! Your the one that wanted me to make a thread about my meeting with cadel.

The Hitch is very bad for doing that

how's puting your foot down on the inside of a corner? wasn't that the crash that f**ked his tour this year?

Boonen for Paris Roubaix, OBVIOUSLY :D

bit harsh on Boonen for PR. He got screwed by all the muppets racing for second. spartacus' attack timing hardly makes Boonen a moron.

The moronic bit was when he sat back to have a drink while Canc was a the front and did nothing while Canc went on the attack see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-1v5muNUIo

And Rui costa, for attacking Carlos with a wheel, i mean what was he thinking

I think Rui Costa was the victim here. It was Carlos who attaced him with the wheel. Rui Costa is in the list for other obvious reasons that belong to the clinic.

THats what i thought.

But i checked, and this is the picture, so i said Costa not Barredo. Neither were in the list at the time.

How about Armstrong using Twitter to taunt by name the Feds investigating his doping? If that does not qualify as moronic then I don't know what does.
 
For quantity and quality, McQuaid takes it for me. He's been even more consistent this year than Philippe Gilbert.

Swap victories and overall GC for gaffes and you can see the pattern form.

Nobody is better than McQuaid at bringing in the results in throughout the season, nor can they match his commitment in the off-season. He peaks just in time for the Tour, then again for the Worlds.

It's the other way around. Costa just grabbed the wheel, after being attacked by Barredo. Check this video, where you can see the latter coming from the side with the wheel in his hand. Crazy stuff. Barredo for the moron win!

edit: Obviously, Pat McQuaid - or whoever's pulling the strings at UCI - is the true moron, but that goes without saying.

Mcquaid makes Sepp Blatter look a total genius, the guy is clearly an utter idiot.

Fresh from wrecking the track cycling programme and now his ultra dumb comments on the Giro just says it all.

I voted 'other' for Spartacus for putting an end to the racing in the Ardennes stage of the TdF.

Both stupid and the kind of thing I would expect an 8-12 year old kid to do 'Its my ball and you're not playing with it' etc
 
Riis, by far.

Lost control of his riders, allowed them to dismantle his team, found the perfect replacement, looked like he would come out on top... and then, holy cow. Stuck with a fairly mediocre team without any leaders.

Only Pat can save him now, and it's kind of sad to have to rely on Pat's genius.

I added as many as I could and reset the votes

That's a better list. I'm not changing my vote from other to one of the new names on the list. Mainly because I don't think anyone on the list deserves the moron label. I'm going to redefine by example what I think moron is. For example:
- athletes who come packing in their team locker rooms against team rules
(that is a whole different level of moronic),
- anyone who packs just to pack or for image (I know some... scary)
- anyone who Twitters to taunt Feds (as BroDeal points out below)... p.s. LA
was not on the list

not convinced this was all Boonen being moronic - the other muppets also just let spartacus go. they all sat there like stunned mullets expecting Boonen to chase. I'm sure every one of them didn't think that cancellara would stay away alone for that distance either...

I got it from the meat. I forgot where I bought it. If you punish me I will retire. If I show up to training camp and act as if nothing happened maybe people will forget. The blood levels in Spain are different I will just pay the fine.
