Why LA didn't win the Tour

[Chappy]

I have been watching tapes from last years Tour and carefully listening to the expert commentary from Phil and Paul. I have come to the conclusion that Lance lost the Tour because he forgot to pack his suitcase of courage...

Any other theories?

He only adjusted his saddle once. If he had have adjusted it every day ... well ... who knows the power increase he could have reaped.

 

[Jukebox]

Unfortunetly, he just didn't have enough venga.

How can you believe Lance can beat Contador in our days .... Lance was out of stamina in all mountain stages. He had luck to beat Frank Schleck... Even he will be the leader of Radio Shack team he can`t win Le tour if Contador ,Andy Schleck,Frank Schleck or Cadel will be there...

I say you have opened your suitcase of courage Chappy, if you have been watching tapes and listening to commentary from Phil and Paul!! Notice I said commentary and not expert commentary....

It's not so much a suitcase anymore, in Lance's case, more an old bag.

Why did he lose? Two other guys were faster.

 

[Bala Verde]

He was lazy. He didn't train as hard as all the other competitors.

He never got a chance to give the look, or use his windmill pedaling style

 

[Big GMaC]

He never got a chance to give the look, or use his windmill pedaling style

where was the damn cadence!!!!

 

[moi123]

His plans just didn't work out!

Or maybe that's all part of the plan to kickass in 2010, who knows??

2 x 200cc < 2 x 450 cc

Wait, I thought that he did win last year. Next you'll tell me that he didn't win the TDU last week either.

 

[Anonymous]

He didn't win because he was riding for cancer awareness.

 

[Publicus]

He let Contador win because he felt sorry for him.

 

[*G*K*S*]

Too many Tweets and not enough training.

 

[Bala Verde]

TdF didn't pay him enough in attendance fees.

 

[ViaPagliano]

Too many Tweets and not enough training.

Best answer so far!

 

[mr. tibbs]

It's obviously Kloden's fault--he kept getting in Armstrong's way on the climbs.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Any other theories?

Because he is a self obsessed, egotisitic w*anker

 

[Publicus]

The airline lost his suitcase of courage...

too much frs

1. He was 'playing the perfect teammate' for contador, not trying to respond when contador attacked

2. Contador disobeyed team orders by attacking all the time, when Astana riders were already ahead on GC by virtue of the TTT

3. He rode the Giro, when everyone knows the ToC is the superior preparation for the Tour

4. He has lower cadence than the rest of the peloton

5. He focused on the TdF less than the rest of the peloton

6. His will and desire was less than that of everyone else

 

[Mellow Velo]

I was going to say he lost because he's only human, but didn't want to shatter any fanboy beliefs.

 

[Bala Verde]

He'd forgotten to ride the TdF in its entirety in the preceding year before the actual start.
