The Official LANCE ARMSTRONG Thread 2010-2011

[Big GMaC]

I'm not a LA fan but I do compliment him for helping Fignon fight his cancer.

Lance just makes sure people know about cancer.

Educate yourself on the LiveStrong foundation before you post such GARBAGE. In 2009, the foundation raised $20MM net of expenses. What happens to that money? Read the mission statement - it goes toward survivorship programs and research grants. The financials are audited, and you can follow the money.

Also, anyone see this? More hecklers for LA

LA saw Cadel's slapfight during the Giro. No way he wants a piece of that.

LA got a bit angry with Cadel at Mende because he sprinted past him! That is when I started really liking Cadel!

Armstrong extends Conti something of an olive branch:

“You can’t take away the fact that he’s probably maybe the most talented guy ever to throw a leg over a bike, I don’t have a problem saying that,” the 38-year-old American said.

“What we saw last year was an extremely impressive performance on all levels: climbing, time-trialing, recovery motivation, mental toughness.”

Although he was not there to personally collect a present from Contador in the morning, Armstrong appreciated the defending champion’s gesture.

The Spaniard visited Armstrong’s team bus before the stage to offer his former team mate a watch inscribed “Tour de France 2009” as a souvenir of his victory in last year’s race.

American Greg LeMond started the tradition in 1990 when he gave all his team mates a watch.

“Very generous. Obviously he recognises he had the support of a great team it’s a nice gesture,” said Armstrong, who is now looking forward to enjoying retirement from highly competitive racing after the Tour.

I know, this is Lance's game, I know. Just thought it was relevant.

You know I love the rivalry between Contador and Lance.
On a negative note I do not understand Simeonis' beef with Armstrong.

I like what Lance said in his radioshack review. He came close to humility, which a giant step for Lance. Chaupau Lance.

Are you serious? Really you don't understand?

 

[Weapons of @ss Destruction]

On a negative note I do not understand Simeonis' beef with Armstrong.

For starters, how would you like it if someone described you as an "absolute liar" to a major media source, in relation to items that you had told the truth about.

The subject of this he-said / she-said supposed truth was whether Dr. Michele Ferrari was managing programs for some riders. You figure out the rest.

He'll have more opportunities to perfect his steps.

Seriously? If so, I have to quote George Will here. There's limited benefit to explaining the obvious to someone who needs the obvious explained to them.

Dude I listened to what Simeoni said at the end of said stage last night. Rent it from net flix. The final DVD of the 2004 tour. Simeoni said complete and utter hogwash. He said, Lance convinced Cioppolini to keep Simeoni out of the tour that year2004. It was only becase Scarponi and Bettini came forth in Simeonis' defense that Simeoni was able to ride. If Simeoni had something to prove he should not have backed down when Lance chased him down in the stage. If Lance threatened me I would have buried myself in my attack.
If I were in Simeonis shoes when Lance chased me down I would have gone harder and beat Lance. End of story. Unless Lance is the devil inhabiting Lances body in the exorcist. Tell me does Lance have the power of the anti-christ.

Same game he played with Ullrich.

I would check out the DVD 2004 TdF world cycling. Listen to Simeoni.

Simeoni stopped so that the breakaway wouldn't be doomed. He wasn't trying to prove anything, he was riding the TdF as any other pro. Armstrong wasn't chasing him anymore, he was there in the breakaway with him and the others. How do you suggest Simeoni could have "beaten" Lance? Going solo with Lance? Seriously?

 

[craig1985]

I see that Lance will be riding in this event.

IIRC, Alpe said that BroDeal lives in this area, if so, Bro, you should turn up to give Armstrong ****.

Sounds like a good cause. I would ride it if I was in the area. I am sure it will be an inspiring event. I rode the Leipheimer Kings Ridge Grandfondo last year and will ride it again this year.Good fun!
I have no issue with Lance, his Mom or Levi. /Well maybe with Levi because he makes me snooze.

 

[craig1985]

I would ride the LL granfondo because looking at the profile, it looks like a great ride. It wouldn't matter who ran it.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Phil-n-Paul were commenting during today's stage that Lance is looking grim all the time. I think he's already over all this - riding in the rain, crashing, riding on cobbles, getting heckled, sleeping in bunkbeds in cheap hotels without air conditioning. Not to mention stress from outside the bike race.

Yeah right. As some of my Cheyenne Bros. have said:" tomarrow I might wake up dead."
