Yvon Sanquer? Welcome to 1999
When a gay guy is married they call his wife a beard......looks like we know who Vino's beard is

They would be fools indeed. Does anybody know anything about Sanquer's racing style? Is he a control-freak like JB or more aggressive/creative like Riis? Or is he is own man (so to speak)?
Yes, well, Festina's "broom" and French to boot. Should please certain suits.
Tour, here we come and all that.
Bruyneel has gone. Zubeldia's deal has definitely gone with him. He stays.
Kloden is who they have been arguing over, these past few days.
As it was an impass, my guess is Kloden has been sold out.....right after LA discovered there was no Tour TTT.
Of course, I could be wrong.

Wouldn't be the first time in this thread. But then you wouldn't be alone. Coolest thing about internet forums - so much speculation stated as absolute fact - and then near silence when the internet 'experts' get it wrong - again. I wonder how many carry on like this in real life?

He is a figure head. Brought in 10 years ago to run Festina after the scandal. Been running a small French team since then,

Nope, dullard, that's just speculation about the folks that are able to speculate about pro racing.mitchman said:
Contains nil information, other than the fact that Progressor is unable to follow the concept than news sites carry the news and forum sites speculate upon said news.
I think it's time for you pair to be put on ignore.

I want to see AC vs AS. Armstrong is an afterthought in that race. If the three of them are there, Armstrong has not shot. Dropped like a rock and no TTT to gain ANY time.

Here is the statement from both riders:
"Kloden: It wasn't him, Lance, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Klodi, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Lance, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.
Lance: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.
Kloden: You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Lance. "

I think that we can all agree that is the case. Surely reasonable people can agree on this point, yes?

A "figure head" refers to a person who doesn't really have much authority but is just there for show. It usually means that there is somebody else behind the scenes secretly pulling the strings, being in charge, making decisions. The figure head is just brought out for public appearances to give the appearance of authority, but someone else has the real power.

More like 'Obama is the figurehead of a national socialist coup.' He has no control over it though he condones it, he is the smiling countenance of an anti-constitutional coterie.
Sorry, it's just a more apt and realistic simile.

You are aware that we have had a mixed economic system for over 100 years with Socialist principles incorporated therein? You will also note that there is no real world example of a major industrialized nation that is any different. In fact, you will find that most of those nations have far more numerous Socialist ideals affecting the factors of production.
Sorry, but the Libertarian/invisible hand idea is an unproven theory with no successful examples of implementation.
But I still respect you.
just got back from the gym....yes, maybe i have rounded the corner on the year long ennui.... i was really hoping for more rage. you all disappoint me so....

Whatever floats your boat.
As long as it serves to explain the term 'figurehead'. Yours seems to be the teabagger definition.
