The Official LANCE ARMSTRONG Thread 2010-2011

I'd be more concerned with my hair in that photo.

Compromises were made to look younger, OK?

I tried to get that "MAJOR SHRINKAGE" article into the joke somehow, but I failed.

 

[peloton]

I don't get what the fuss is about.

wow he looks old.
What does BFD. mean?

Add 20 years to his actual age and that's the equalizer. He looks like he's gone to the well several times too many.

Now, I would like to see that t-shirt. Anyone with a link?

It even says "Not Armstrong's real T-Shirt" off to the side. The whole pic looks heavily shopped. They have done some serious work on his face.

 

[Barrus]

What picture is it, because I can't seem to find that picture

It got nixed in the last ten minutes. I wanted to post in on the Baby Giro team expulsion thread to show what happens to doped amateurs when they're older.

Dude looks . . . well old.

They did some serious photoshopping of this photo. Compare his shoulders (see the height difference between left/right)

BFD = Big F-ing Deal

He looks very odd. He looks old but with almost no wrinkles. Very artificial looking.

A couple of collarbone breaks does the same thing. I can't go strapless to formal functions anymore 'cause it just looks weird.

It looks like he has half of a hunchback.

yes, it looks quite shopped, like they tried to make him look older, overly sharpened, either his hair is long in that shot or it just looks styled in a way he generally doesn't wear it. (not to get to girly, but I'm jus' sayin')

his body looks very bony, too. whatever. I don't think of him as bony, for a cyclist, he seems rather barrel chest to me, always has.

So Lance has now moved from being too tubby to looking too ragged?
You guys crack me up

Lance did his first TdF seventeen years ago holy cripes.
They used to say in the old days that "each TdF completed takes a year off your life".

No longer true I imagine, riders are pampered these days....
But still, 17 years...

Lance tweeted yeaterday that he is racing against three kids in the ToS that have fathers Lance raced against

Lance, a real "Slave to the Road"

Edited as it offended someone.

Can't see the image due to work, but he seems quite concerned about a magazine cover. Isn't he like, in a race, a race to prep him for the only race he cares about (other than the race against cancer), the tdf?

Hey not-so-pretty boy, stfu and and get on your effing bike and effing ride.

Worried about mag covers....what a maroon....Narcissus had nothing on this guy.

I know they always do the faux/photoshop to give theDacau look for the tour contenders.
They did it with Merckx and his opponents too. Those guys never trained either, just hung out in Monaco and smoked a lot of gaulouises and gitane cigarettes.
Oh that Eddy was a poser like Lance was he not?

Not to try and portray myself as the student some of you truly are of the rich history of racing, but I think there are more than a few differences. We're gonna see one of them in a few weeks.

I honestly having farking idea what you are going on about. Just pointed out that his image (in addition to the t-shirt) heavily modified (see his back/shoulder). And, for whatever reason, he looks older.

And just so you know, photo shop was not around when Merckx was an active cyclist.

 

[Wheels Go Round and Round]

thats the best news ive heard all day.. Here's hoping he rides another ten.

you are an absolute pos for saying something like that

that's just uncalled for.... call him a doper whatever but wishing someone would die 10yrs earlier crosses the line

 

[Berzin]

Arsmtrong shouldn't be complaining about the magazine cover.

"Outside" magazine does an obsequious fanboy story on him almost every other month. They have been one of his most ardent supporters throughout his whole career.

Which is par for the course seeing as they cater to that yuppie, anti-aging clinic group that adore him-the ones with the disposable incomes and the medicine cabinets full of testosterone patches and HgH.

That would be poetic justice, seeing as hating him has taken 10 years off MY life.

Years I'll never get back, unless Landis' accusations are verified by other ex-Postal riders, of course. Then everything will get back on track.

It was a joke.. obviously not one you found funny, for that i apologise. Personally I found it amusing.. I think POS is a bit harsh though. You dont know me. Dont bandy around phrases like POS

there is no bandying about.... I said it and I meant it

there are plenty of ways of telling someone you were offended by something, or didnt find something funny.

Calling them a peice of Shit isnt one of them. Its an example of the level of your intelligence or lack of that you couldnt raise the subject in an adult manner, or by PM if you were that offended. I have edited it as it offended you so. Next time try adult conversation or using the inbuilt forum reporting system and report posts that offend you to a moderator. I apologise again for any offence. Personally I found it funny, if a little dry/black. End of conversation.

Let's steer this thread back to Armstrong, shall we? Bad joke from dim, massive overreaction by Wheelsgoround. Back to Lance.


Photoshop jobs are extremely lame. Even for a magazine whose sole purpose is to substitute for toilet paper in a pinch.
