Publicus said:The Hog just wrote what was on Lance's twitter page.
HL2037 said:I know.
And since he can't formulate his own opinion nor even reformulate Armstrongs opinion in his own words, the answer to the question must be: "Yes, we think you are stupid"
HL2037 said:Ah, OK, now i've re-read it i see that i misunderstood. Sorry Hog. English isn't my native, so sometimes i misunderstand the tone.
thehog said:That's ok. Many Americans have trouble understanding English.
HL2037 said:You're accusing me of beeing american, does that mean that youre still mad?
But seriously, i don't dislike Armstrong because he is american. I just think that it's nice that cykling is a sport where you can compeed and still respect each other.
WildspokeJoe said:Guys,
The truth is usually somewhere in between. Both Lance and AC are guilty of being d-bags.
They settled it on the road. AC was the strongest rider in the race. Lance did exactly what he said he would during the race. Be a good teammate.
Both riders are phenomenal. Of course both want to be top dog. When you've won 7 and 3 grand tour respectively, you're going to think you should be the leader.
This tit-for-tat is so annoying.
Lance is the King of the sport there is no denying that but currently Contador is THE best rider.
Lance is crazy if he thinks he can compete on the level of Contador. The only shot he's got is if AC picks a team that can't ride for him in the tour.

Yea, I know. Another Lance thread.
This close to the tour I think this is news.
If there wasn't so much scepicizm of Lance and his ethics I wouldn't bother.

Jamsque said:The comments on that article are hilarious. I am constantly impressed at the ability of Lance fans to shoe-horn swearwords in to Alberto Contador's name.
Speaking of Lance fans, what is it with their constant chorus of "GREATEST CYCLIST EVER!!" All questions of doping aside, would Roger Federer be considered the great tennis champion of our time if the only grand slam he had ever won was Wimbledon? Would Tiger Woods be so lauded if he only ever won the Open?

He speaks very well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMN2DrYX1xw
williej said:Good point made earlier about the fact that most of the Astana team is going to end up with Lance and Radio Shack. AC doesn't appear to be getting much backing or support for his side of the story. Lance sure is. That is very telling, but on a message board, people are not going to be swayed. Also, one Spanish rider booted from the tour for doping, one more to go......
williej said:what I really need to figure out is how to be a deadbeat that lives off the dole of my fake doctor wife. that will give me more time to study these things.
thehog said:Thanks for posting. I'm very much glad Lance held to his word and became the great teammate he stated he would be.
thehog said:Gotta love the Spanish press. I understand their enthusiasm but does it really have to change reality?? C'mon, fellas. We aren't stupid.

Thoughtforfood said:Um, why not list the people, and then look at who those people are precisely. You also have to realize that the majority of people with Astana WILL NOT be going to Radiotrailer. Just people like the Accessory Dog and the Redneck. Funny, like Lance, his fans think that just saying something makes it true.
And a Lance fan talking about someone's questionable performance is just laughable.
