Official thread TdF Stage 15 Pontarlier - Verbier - 207.5 km

[indurain666]

The interest in the rest of the Tour in America, has decreased by the number of coffee cups being smashed into TV screens.

heheheh

 

[Zen Master]

The truth behind the smoke and mirrors is finally revealed. The King Lance is naked !

Congratulations Bertie !

Something that got lost, Spartacus freaking KILLED it when he dropped back to the group.

He might as well quit.

Somewhat, but he did take the jersey comparison dig. Yea Lance, we know how many you won. We also know one you won't.

As one of the few neutral on LA, I just see that as a competitive guy trying to come to terms with his loss. If more of the interview had been that way I'd be with you, but even the last pointed question about the dinner table atmosphere was answered with a smiling "Oh yeah."

I'd give him credit for this one, as opposed to the lemon-sucking stage 7 interview.

Give it a year or two and Conta is gonna have some real problems with the likes of A. Schleck, Nibali, Gesink etc. More trouble then he is having now anyway..

Assuming Contador just sits on his current form, then maybe these guys have a shot in a couple of years.

 

[frizzlefry]

I think AC could possibly equal LA's 7 TdF's if that is his goal and he choses very wisely what team to ride for.

Absolutely. I was going to post that when it happened but couldn't keep up.

 

[lostintime]

Yea, the "I've got 7 (yellow jersey's) at home" comment was pure sour grapes. I just feel soooooo sworrwy fwor wittle Wancy boy.

You heard what he said, but you obviously didn't listen.

What are you, 13?

 

[Delicato]

It is pretty painful seeing Wiggins dropping Armstrong, it was OK when Wiggins was with all the favorites at the Arcalis stage, but with today's pace seeing him at the front really amazes me. Maybe it is only because of motivation and the fact that he is now 100% focused on the road racing, but it is very suspicious. I hope that Garmin is still the cleanest team in the peloton.


No, I am not a Lance fanboy.

It will be interesting to see what he will say when Contador has five Tours, four Vueltas, and a couple of Giros.

a wiggins positive would be really disapointing for me.
But let us not dwell on such a thing, Wiggo is clean and racing like a champ

 

[SpeedWay]

But Armstrong didn't, and the egg is on the face of every chamois sniffing, 3 week posting, fanboy. You all just gushed at his return and how he would do. You were reserved after Stage 1, more bold after Stage 3, indignant about stage 7, and last weekend all jumped on the "He can win it" bandwagon. Well, you were all wrong in your assessment. Tough to swallow, huh?

As usual, you are clueless as ever. Do these imaginary characters in your head speak to you or do you just orchestrate your own self delusion. I'd ask you to provide a link of when I said anything you say I did but I realize I'm dealing with a person who's IQ is slightly lower than Verbier's forecasted high temperature(in celsius) today.

......and yet if anyone beats Armstrong you immediately jump to conclusions.....

 

[kease7]

Why is it when someone has a good performance the 1st thing you think about is drugs??? Wiggo is defo a clean rider!

 

[ak-zaaf]

He might as well quit.

don't steal bruyneel's next book title!

As long as he doesn't put himself on a poorly run team.

Of course you are right, but it is his actions and comments in the previous weeks that cause me to give him little to no leeway. He simply has not conducted himself with much class thus far, and showing some now is only part of dealing with getting your ass kicked. Hell, its easy to show humility when you have just been humiliated.

Had he just kept his fingers and mouth shut, I might feel differently.

WOW!!!!!

 

[Animal]

I know most of you hate on Lance

Oh stop your passive-aggressive whining. Fuck! It's been weeks of this weeping now. I am sick of it.

Sorry, we can't all agree on things. That's the way of the world. Don't go round trying to pick fights.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

LA Haters are being over dramatic with his performance tonight - But that is just a result form the LA fanboys talking him up to much.

Personally i wish both parties would shut up

 

[ak-zaaf]

He's on a one man team right now, so why not.
Even with the TTT he would be in yellow today with any team.

 

[Delicato]

No, I just don't understand how the guy became a TDF GT rider in just one year.

Looks like the fanboy is taking his anger out on others. Let's just hope he does not have any guns in his house.

Nope sniffy, you can go do your own lifting. I ain't your research assistant. Sucks to have your hero get dropped I guess?
