He was confirming that the commissar transmitted his number to the finish line as involved in the crash. Inside the last 3k he gets the same time. If you'd raced before you would know to do it too.

Thanks, dude, but I already know that.

Lance made sure he was counted.

That's what I said. This is what you said: "What about Armstrong crashing! He looked straight at the commissar and ordered him to be given the same time."

Yes, that's what I said. What is your point?

I couldn't resist. I'll have to go to that function, now.

Annoying how there are no helicopter shots of the finish in this tour.

I think Cav is looking a bit thin. In his quest to make sure he finishes the TdF he may have cut into his power a little bit. The guy is already tiny as it is.

HappyChappy and DickWrench are sock puppets of his while you're at it. I finally just got around to updating the list myself after getting sucked into troll smashing yesterday.

Did Lance crash? Footage please. Did I miss it? :p

Nothing major. It was a field compression as they went through one of these 90 degree corners that you love in the US, well inside 3k.

He instantly made sure the commissar knew about it, and then most of RS came back to make sure he could see they were concerned.

I thought everyone would like that.

Where did the three come from? I only saw one on the side of the road with him, and it looked like one turned and came back. Did the other guys go down too, or wouldn't they get real time otherwise for the gap?

I'm feeling a sense of calm silence. Haven't rec'd a DickW assault so haven't had the need to get the troll colonoscophy that often. Thanks fer the heads up.

Pssst, your 'troll smashing' was saying Lance was fat and generally being upset that he did not get dropped on that climb.

That actually meant you were trolling. I called you on it. :D

And whilst we're at it, your attempt at trolling was trying to make out I don't know about the 3k rule for crashing.

Two very unsuccessful trolls. Funny really.

PS. Note I did not rise to the old sock puppet smear. The worst trolls always try that one.

The Hobbit's got nothing when he's all alone. He is not even close to as skilled as a McEwen or Friere, can't do jack without a train.

I couldn't agree more. No skill at all, just the best speed in the last few hundred meters. Hobbit is a little harsh, however, but I guess he's been asking for it.

To be honest his form last year would have destroyed anybody, train or no train. Indeed there was not a clean train for many of his Giro and TdF stage wins. He was very skilled out not being muscled out of position too.

He's clearly not there this year though. Definitely down on zip.

Well it looks like the Floyd Landis full confession letter (just announced) will be the real crash for Armstrong. That ends the Tour campaign for Lance.

Sh!t man! This is a thread about todays stage NOT about your obsession with bloody Armstrong. You really need to get over yourself and move on because you are the biggest troll on this forum!!:mad:

Haven't seen it. It would seem strange that he would do that. He was on Larry King the other week still claiming he is innocent.

That ends the Tour campaign for Lance.

Why do you always draw conclusions that probably aren't true? Say this letter is real, it's bad PR for LA but I doubt it will stop him doing the tour.

Your the king of hostages to fortune. :rolleyes:
