The Official LANCE ARMSTRONG Thread 2010-2011

[SpartacusRox]

It's Polish, he is agreeing with you in his demented way. Just PM me with deep questions about the posts of others. I will translate for you. Hey, don't forget the helmet when you go out...walking.

I don't do a lot of walking, prefer my bike. Not a lot on here that requires a deep question, but if I have one i will keep you in mind. Also I don't get many posts deleted because generally i try to keep on topic. If I did rise to your bait however, then I apologise

Jeez it's not even July and all anyone's doing is calling each other names. Two weeks from now this thread could be irrelevant.
So, what do you think Lance will do with his spare time during retirement?

LA training in the mountains. Thanks to scientific progress, this is apparently the way a serious GT contendor looks in 2010.

What worries me is he's training alone. The Contador videos shows Alberto and his team riding together. When is Radioshack going to get together as one team?

+1..Nicley said ! finally someone gets it !
I've been lurking here for a 2 weeks, mostly to get updates in pro-cycling.. The 1st week I thought I hit paydirt for info. 2nd week, I'm sick of filtering crap and will no longer lurk.. Instead I'll put this wasted time into riding and check in with the home page for legit updates..
Out !

So you registered just to tell us you won't post here anymore? Great. Also I am sick of people saying things like 'you could be riding instead you are posting, blah blah blah.' You can't ride for 24 hours a day everyday. At some point we all do something off the bike (and that is where the message board comes in).

(Great handle LC) As far as I remember he has pretty much always trained alone. Back before I had common sense and I thought LA was clean, I always watched the specials on him and he would go out with Carmichael and Bruyneel and do mtn repeats alone with a support car. So I don't think that is new.

Negative..I posted when a Troll mentioned something out of line earlier in the week and surprise.. it was not about Lance.
Message boards are great, this one just happens to fill with so much unsubstantiated information that I would simply rather read the headlines on the home page..You gotta admit when every 3rd post is edited by the Moderator there is a serious content or poster issue.
As for riding my bike.. I ride a lot, but it was a figure of speech more than anything else..

I also do not like this comparison. I feel that you do not support lance enough and subvert the LIVESTRONG message with your sarcasm and backhanded insluts.

Lance would never approve of this kind of behaviour, as we all agree on, he has been nothing but honest and transparent in all his personal and sporting endeavors.

The truth hurts guys, NEVER TESTED POSITIVE.

"Transparent"? Wasn't that the word he used to describe his posting of his vital stats on-line, that he later abruptly cancelled all together? He's transparent alright to all but those with blinders on.

Haven't you heard, there is Armstrong, and then there are his "slaves". He is the master and everyone is else is there to do his bidding.

Nothing new there. Always been that way. Cycling 101: there is a team leader, then there is the team.

Except for last year. Then it was all about the team success.

I'll agree, although I m usually am fairly curious as to what was said to be deleted, especially when you look at a page and 6 consecutive posts say 'edited by mod'.

In this case you can just safely assume that it was gossip and things unsuitable for viewing by minors.

I wonder how Levi and Kloden feel about Demol actually publicly calling them "slaves." It's one thing when internet posters joke about the way Retirement Shack riders are treated, and another when your boss says it in press conferences. Can't be too good for the self-respect, if either of them still has any.

No, I was picking up on WonderLance's many strange ideas and terrible English.

Lord Pharmstrong and his loyal servants. WonderLance must be one of his main chiefs!

From CN:

Team RadioShack directeur sportif Dirk Demol has explained the reason behind sprinter Gert Steegmans' non-selection for this year's Tour de France.

"We chose pure slaves," Demol told Het Belang van Limburg, speaking about the likes of Chris Horner, Andreas Klöden and Levi Leipheimer. This trio will join Armstrong, plus Janez Brajkovic, Sergio Paulinho, Yaroslav Popovych, Gregory Rast and Dmitriy Muravyev to form a powerful Tour squad for the American team.

An earlier post said that it was a bad translation on cn's part and that the correct word should have been domestique. I really doubt that Demol would have used the word slave in an interview.

With all the likely interviews with Belgians using one of the most common words in the cycling vernacular, this is the very first time that I can recall "domestique" being mistakenly translated as "slave", if that is in fact the case which I doubt.

Apparently he has found some training partners... http://bit.ly/a2Vz1U

The mods here simply cannot keep up with the personal insults that many threads devolve into. Or maybe the "Clinic" rule is finally being applied.

Just the usual Handbag stuff - in other words, nothing to see here, please move along.

Just making sure they have enough "extract of bovine" for the mountain stages.

..but everybody thought it was for cancer awareness....

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Just so everyone is aware - next person to give a personal insult, put down, or provoke, bait, or incite someone else in this thread takes a week off.

Anyone who responds to any such insult will take a week off as well.

No exceptions.

Just so we're all clear:

Insult others = 1 week ban
