Two Brits Lead the Tour de France

[The Real GFY]

Firstly, WTF!

Secondly, SKY wouldn't touch AC with a bargepole. For those that don't know, that's like a very long stick.

I believe we are in the 2 Brits Lead the Tour de France thread so here we are then.. Back on track - Hip, Hip, Hurray!!

LOL at this whole thread. SKY would have grabbed AC if they could have. And enough with the prejudice BS.

Sincerely,
GFY

i already gave mr. gingerwallaceafro a 24 hour ban for this kind of posts yesterday, if he continues like this when he returns he will get a 1 week ban.

So you get a ban for being pro-Sky and anti-cheat Contador?

Harsh moderating, no?

No, he was constantly hinting at Alberto's doping case, there is the Clinic for that kind of talk. Btw I suggest you take the "cheat Contador" **** there as well.

the tour is weak this year, no Contador, no Andy Shleck. Last year Contador didn't know if he would be allowed into the TDF so he went full gas at the Giro and didn't have the reserves for the TDF, it was a calculated gamble. This is really Contador's time, everyone knows this. That being said, I was happy Evans won. This year, I'm mostly bored although I do like the ascent of Sagan.

Another amazing day, brilliant stuff guys! Fantastic team riding. Made me smile when Froome was suffering trying to get back on terms at the top of the Peyresourde, something was said between Wiggo and Froome and they were laughing.. I think they knew they'd all but won the Tour then.

Anyone who was meant to trouble them went out the back when Wiggo hit the front. Hopefully a more sedate day for them tomorrow before nailing the TT.

Roule Brittania!

Does Britain have such a bad view of itself that a guy winning a bike race means that much?

I couldn't care less when Armstrong was winning that he was an American. And my favorite riders aren't even from the US. Nationalism is so passe'.

But hey, whatever makes you feel good.

You won't find a bigger fan of America and Americans than me that isn't an American but if any country is patriotic and biased to their own successes, it is your good country. You do after all have a "world series" that only teams from your country participate in (OK, a couple of canadian teams as well).

There's nothing wrong with nationalism and patriotism - our nation is one of the things that defines us.

Yes. Nationalism makes me puke.

Yes. Nationalism makes me puke.

I see you that are from netherlands so are you saying this because you suck in most sports and makes you support contador.

You may be very isolated on this forum with that kind of view.

No.

I support Spanish and Italian athletes. Because they're awesome.

How are they awesome from other riders? do you know them personally?

 

[LaFlorecita]

No

 

[Wiggins_Sideburn]

No

Then, how can you say they are awesome?

 

[Apollonius]

Then, how can you say they are awesome?

Because he likes those cyclists - he thinks their performances are awesome. What's so hard to grasp about that?

It's really sad when fans only like cyclists of their own nationality and despise those from other nationalities when they win. Sad, sad, sad.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Then, how can you say they are awesome?

I can find them awesome as athletes?

And man Spaniards and Eyetalians are some laidback dudes Like Zam

How are there performances different from other riders from another country?

Now again with the name dropping..who the heck is zam?

Zam is a forum member.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I don't need to explain myself to you. I love Alberto and I'm proud of it.

 

[Wiggins_Sideburn]

Okay, that is a fair call.

Wow maybe tomorrow you can tell a guy from Faroe Isles that they really suck at sports too compared to England...

If you take size and population into account I think you will find Netherlands is doing pretty good compared to how small a country it is.

How does England fare against countries they should actually compare themselves too. for an example Germany, Italy and Spain?
Imo. If there's one country who is constantly underachieving in the big sports it surely has to be England?


And suddenly it all makes sense why you start a big w@nkfest every time you do well in sports... Us Northern Europeans has more important stuff to focus on.

Seriously how do you even reproduce?

 

[gingerwallaceafro]

Sooooo much hate! Great link by the way..

Well to answer your question, there aren't 2 Germans, Italians or Spaniards leading the Tour de France..

There isn't a German, Italian, or Spanish world champion either..

What sports do you want to compare with? On a topical theme http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/medals/historical-medals-beijing-2008/countries

Anyway let's not get bogged down with that whole anti-British/Wiggins negativity ********, as this isn't the thread!

This is where the party is and the sour grape bunch aren't allowed in!
