Is this in reference to what LA said today?

Jean Francois Quenet - he asked twice about the allegations and that is what LA called him today.

Ah, so it matches up with Benson saying that he was "one of the best".

Nice work JFQ!

Hopefully some of the hacks like Guinness and "Tomo" took notice.

Is Bob Gosford TheDude that is unsure of what part of "no comment" he doesn't understand?

Unfortunately mosdef not. Sounds like TdU pressers are the same as they were in 2009 & 2010, closed shops full of those too scared or dumb to ask the hard questions or too compromised to even think about it.

Seriously, some of those so-called journo's should go back to school - or get assigned to a beat that is better suited to their intelligence and skills - like local government or the shipping news.

Someone has to turn the heat up on Rann/Turtur tomorrow.

Maybe if someone were to send a note to Crikey.com.au asking that Bob Gosford forward them a copy of the questions he sent to Rann & others earlier this week - and to which he apparently has little expectation of getting any meaningful response this week at least - he may be happy to provide them to someone who would put them to Rann & others.

That person would of course be expected to provide some proof of their bona fides and their willingness to make their best efforts to ask the questions.

I understand that Bob - who couldn't make it to the Hilton this year - also has some questions that he put to another person of interest some time ago and in response to which he has apparently heard nothing.

Bob may also be thinking of posting the first set of questions referred to above on his Crikey blog here: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/northern/

Dude - are you stupid?

"Dude - are you Stupid".

That is Classic.

Up there with Fausto's "Dope All the Time".
And Jacques Anquetil's "Mineral Water?".
"No Gifts" says King Eddy.

"Dude, are you Stupid?"

Perfectly sums up the currect namby pamby whiney boy situation in Professional Cycling

"WaaWaa - Lance is an Insta Gator"
"WaaWaa - Lance used secret super cera epo"
"WaaWaa - Lance is a donkey waa"

Can you imagine Eddy or Sean or Stuey or Klodi or Vino or Robbie or any hard man of the peloton past or present whine about Lance?

No, neither can I.
Some guys sure need to HTFU.

true. spot on that oneliner.
His charisma is phenomenal, I think he can be funny, dominant, tender, likeable, aggressive, you get the whole package if you let him into your life, i'm sure.
But for some reason we've not been discussing LA's charisma as of late.

Same Stupid Different Day

did you get teased when you were young? I mean like, seriously bullied? that would account for some of your posts.
well, try 'n get over it.
 
Lancey-poo appears to be much more comfortable when he can stick to the PS script and the audience laps up all the BS he spouts off. Trains hardest, most tested, French haters, higher cadence, bringing up the kids etc. etc.

Oh how times have changed! There are likely to be a lot more DUDES in Lancey-poos life from now on.

How about "The big Novitzky" with another Jeff in the role of the dude.

Seriously bullied? Not that I can recall....
Repressed maybe? Gosh, don't think so....

I DID wear a "dress" as an altar boy in grade school.
But no bullying or abuse that I can recall.

In high school I played OffensiveTackle on the football team and
the Coach nicknamed me "sunshine" for my disposition.
THAT nickname did not stick whew
I was already nicknamed by my friends anyway - "Chops".
(Chopski is a lazy pronunciation of my hard to pronounce last name lol)
No bullying there either hmmm.

OMG I forgot about the nuns in grade school. Maybe I WAS bullied.
(I was going to say the FIRST time I was ever bullied was here in the clinic when MooseMcknuckles called me a "salad tosser". That cut deep waawaa.)
Maybe Moose is actually an old nun? The name is appropriate yikes.

But anyway, thanks for asking:)
And how about you - any bully issues for you?
