The Official LANCE ARMSTRONG Thread 2010-2011

[Ripper]

Well, for a few short posts it looked like it might turn into something totally crazy - some real fairly objective posts about LA and bike racing without a lot of talk about his financial dealings, or sex life, or personality quirks. I mean Thought For Food posting something like that? What's next, dogs and cats living together?

Thank Dog it's back to the established circle jerk of personal attacks, juicy gossip, and other middle aged women cackling at the beauty parlor type stuff. Much more entertaining.

Has the annual migration of TdF loon posting started?

I'd say that right now it's more of the same loon with multiple accounts once again.

I do believe coming on the heels of his podium finish at the Tour de Suisse, it is safe to say the Boss is Back! Watch out AC, he's coming for . . . your mussette.

EDIT: I found this comment from Demol illuminating. Unless he's limiting his comments to Rast and Murayev, then he's basically admitting that Lance is the sole GC candidate and everyone else is a domestique:

I found this quote odd also

"Gert was the ideal rider to pilot Lance over the cobblestones, but Popovych has the same capabilities, and it's nice that Rast and Muravyev know their way around the cobblestones," said Demol.

So gert has the same capabilities as Popo on the cobbles?:

Uh, not he didn't. I saw him in person last year at exactly this time of year, and he looked very much more fit than he looks in that picture. He was thinner, though I will grant you this, pictures do genuinely add pounds. Regardless, he is certainly no fitter this year than last year at this time.

You need your eyes checked. Lance is looking smaller and stronger at the same time. He is in 2001 shape at the moment.

Really, I would like to see the commercial where Contador uses images of cancer patients to shield himself from doping charges.

Man, getting sympathy for yourself, making a buck, and hiding behind cancer patients to cover doping...TRIFECTA!

Nothing better than than using human suffering to cover being a taintstain of a human being. I am sure he chuckles to himself while he swims in his $250,000 pool bought with "Cancer Awareness."

Lance has done more than everyone of you clows combined. He is a legend of the sport, a cancer crusader and a hero to millions around the globe.

Alberto is just plain selfish and money hungry.

Just checking in ... has this thread exploded with stupidity and bizarre new posters yet?

No it just continues with the same old stupity with the same obsessed posters.

And it's getting really f****ing long

Wonderlance is already doing this routine - and polish is way better than both of you - so why bother?

Im 28 years old.

I agree with the original post, seems to be leaner, less muscular throughout his upper-body. He had no real results last year and hasn't had much this year true, but the last month he seems to be getting stronger. I suppose if you think he was a bit leaner last yr that may have been due to the Giro ride he did.

That is Lance last yr reconning

This is this week: http://www.livestrong.com/teamradioshack/video_scenic-hill-climb/db5e15cb-a078-4d0e-b122-0609550ac98a/

I believe his arms are markedly smaller, can't fill out the sleeves. He looks smaller through the chest and midsection also.

Those are exactly the two videos I was referencing, thanks for posting.

He twitters he feels 28, therefore fans will accept this make believe as fact.

If he's really turned back the clock to 2000, it's an Italian magic formula that's done it.
It's the only way to beat old Father Time in the real world.

Just got my new Ferrari engine installed.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the 51 year old winning the french championship ITT, ofcourse he feels younger then...

I see Andy Schleck has put Armstrong's Swiss performance back into perspective, today.
One man's training is another man's no form and all that.

Andy is full of it if he is suggesting that his crap riding this year is just him in training. Like I said in response to you earlier, you are quick to bag LA but tell me how many of the top ten GC contenders have shown anything yet?? LA may have been following wheels but Andy hasn't even managed to do that

 

[ErmOkk]

July 3 the masks fall off . LA doesn't look that much leaner this year btw, all this weight lifting **** etc made him Rambo, and his tummy muscle mass isn't disappeared at all...

26.6kms. Exactly the same distance as Switzerland's ITT, just 5 days on.

Frank beats Andy by 55 seconds.
Lance beat Frank by just 5 seconds.
Andy beats Frank by 56 seconds.

All goes to show that trying to read anything into the results in Switzerland is impossible and meaningless.
For Andy, the race wasn't about following wheels.
He tested his explosive kick and Armstrong tested his stamina.
Nothing more.

You appear to have some reading comprehension, and spelling, issues as I have never posted anything close to this.

I did write there will be a two part article in the WSJ coming out tomorrow. It will explore the Landis/Armstrong case more in depth.....and I am sure you will ignore all of it.

Why are you inventing this? It was always Saturday.

With this baiting some are going to think you are just here to disrupt, rather then contribute, to the discussion.
