Apart from being the blovations of self important taintstain...

LOL! One of the better lines I've seen in a while.

This thread has given me a solution to the current Gulf oil disaster.

Throw a bunch of bike wheels in the Gulf water then put Levi on a tanker. He'll instinctively suck the wheels and bring the oil with them. Genius, eh?

It's bad news for fans.

I wonder if Contador's influence has grown in Spanish cycling.

Contador doesn't care about RS. Plus he's friends with Paulinho and Zubeldia.

LOL. Funny stuff....

EDIT: AC is friends/cordial with Rubiera, Jani, Levi, and Kloden from what I can tell.

Are people here seriously considering a conspiracy between Bertie and the Vuelta organisers?

I know we often were a bit cynical on here, but this bad, really?

I don't know how they operate, but when Armstrong was the best rider in the world he had a lot of behind the scenes influence in many places. AC has turned into a super big cheese over the last few years - it's not unreasonable to ponder whether he made it known what his views were on Bruyneel's gang turning up.

 

[Necessary Evil]

Yes they are all such good friends with AC that they decided to leave and join Armstrong's team.

Welcome back, BPC/Arbiter.

Contador didn't even have a team, much less the ability to offer anyone a stable job. But you knew that already before you started spouting your bs again.

But I'm glad you've finally realized that RS is "Armstrong's team". At least you're no longer under the illusion that they're riding for anyone else.

 

[Publicus]

Yep. Riders in the peloton are only friends with folks on their current team. Once they switch teams it's as if they've never met before.

Jeebus, that's even more inane than your usual commentary.

 

[Necessary Evil]

Yes they're probably on speaking terms but they made the rather famous decision to leave Contador and join his arch enemy's team.

But it won't be about them anyway. I'm sure they will continue to be on speaking terms despite being collateral damage in this episode.

Arbiter's back posting the same crap that's been debunked time and time again. What he lacks in creativity he makes up in persistence.

Yeah. I'm getting out with my singular post.

I don't know who you are talking about but this subject is unlikely to have come up before since RS have only just been uninvited to this GT. It's never happened before.

 

[Barrus]

That's awesome

 

[Publicus]

that's brilliant!

 

[Necessary Evil]

I'm laughing so hard my sides are actually splitting!

Have you lived on a deserted island without contact with media for years? I am not just talking about doping.

No, I haven't lived on a deserted island. I haven't lived in a fantasy land where everything bad that has ever happened to cycling was caused by two nefarious, conniving and evil guys from a single team, either.

Man, you sure do defend them to not be a fan or anything...

If by "defending" you really mean "correcting rants" you might be right.

Even AC's closest team-mates could count the money. He's wise enough to realize it's a business and no one was going to wait around to see where he ended up.

That is a twitter account worth following.

Hey, don't do that, don't put us lawyers (or law school students, as I am and you'll become) in the same group as them, that's just mean

As my boss says 95% of the lawyers give the other 5% of us a bad rap

 

[McClimber]

RS tour team Average Age??

What is the average age for RS team?

What is the average age for their Tdf team??

Those old guys are going to be abused by the youth and vigor in the peloton.

Is it just me or are there a lot of lawyers on this board?

And they're billing 3 clients simultaneously while posting...what a great business. I'm glad I don't need an attorney right now.
