In case you missed the memo, wrong forum. Lance or no Lance.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Vino just brought bottles for the team. One good thing is that we won't have to hear any criticisms of Vino as a teammate.

Shouldn't have to hear, but probably will regardless.

Face it, he would get slagged even if he supplied the team car with drinks too.

 

[Parrot23]

Seems that race incidents have created by far the most talking points this year. Bit disappointing.

...If he has one seriously bad, and probably totally unexpected, spell, I am still backing Menchov over Andy. Menchov gets deadly when he senses a real opportunity. I think his ambitions for this year have slowly crept up the podium.

Yes, on both counts.

Maybe Schleck vs. Menchov vs. Sanchez has some interest now.

NB: race is so scintillating now that Eurosport is discussing salad dressing. Says a lot! Good humour though. Enjoy their banter.

Lance always seems to speed up when crossing the large chalkbot from all his "fans"
.......
next Nike commercial

 

[Jamsque]

TBH this years tour has been quite good. Definitely better than 2009, probably better than 08 also.

You are crazy, 08 was an absolute thriller.

Tour de Sportiff.

The descent might be fun, maybe Casar can jump away or maybe not.

 

[El Imbatido]

Phil and Paul keep mentioning Lance, lucky i still have my english audio feed bookmarked. It really is amazing how much they can mention him.....

 

[reigarc]

He was riding all over the place on the early climbs, struggling to stay in a straight line.

ROLF !!
you guys having a hard time seeing lance up front ??!

The guy scaped at the beggining of the stage and has been in front all day. He and casar are the only ones who've managed. Eurosport just published stats and he's the one who's been pulling the most.

I'd love to hear your whining if he wins the stage.

If he was Vino you'd be creaming your panties...

Try to be a little objective!!

Gran Fondo de France. What a boring stage. This is disgraceful.
Even Liggett mentioned this.

 

[Mellow Velo]

I can't decide which Tour was worse, last year or this year's snoozefest.

Gran Fondo de France. What a boring stage. This is disgraceful.
Even Liggett mentioned this.

Not much to choose between them.
Take out the "incidents" and you could note the action on the back of a postage stamp.
Typical over-bloated Tour stodge. Good for insomnia, though.

How long is it to the Giro, again?

Phil and Paul
"slobber slobber....mmmm Lance...slobber..."

It is the same reaction I have to beer.

I will not whine, but, I will puke!

Other than the 1st 40k this is a snooooooozefest!

Don't worry Melo before we get to watch the giro again we have those nice picture-esque views of the Vuelta to look forward too

I'm too bored to care at the moment.

 

[Shardi]

Lance going.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Armstrong attacks the breakaway.

Awake, cancer lovers!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Lance alot!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oooh, Barredo attacks, Lance follows. Trying to drop fast Fedrigo.

 

[Ramira]

Cunego trying to get back, that won't please the 4 up front he's not going to lose the sprint.

 

[indurain666]

AS seems to be looking at AC quite often. I hope he read his SRAM shift lever instructions for today.

LA attacks, Kudos to LA, it seems that even after quitting the juice he is still racing, or trying to. LA just gave Barredo "The Look II"

 

[Fourier]

Dry heaves

 

[Big GMaC]

**cough**

*ahem*

*cough*

 

[Ramira]

So now we're in the final stage of the day, trying to get rid of Cunego so the other 4 have a chance to win.
