Do a search of my posts to see what I think about that...

I can name 5 off the top of my head, with many more suspected.

Oh, I am agreeing with you.

 

[Race Radio]

you are as big a dousche as lance with the exception being you haven't earned your arrogance on anything other than your contempt behind a computer screen

look ma I'm part of the peloton on cn because I hate lance

Thanks for proving my point

Ok everybody race disco wants us to know he hates lance and lance is the worst person since Sadam and he is the devil and he ruined cycling and RR wants him to fail and if you dont agree with him you are not a real cyclist at the level RR is because he is part of the peloton and he is the lance police and he hates lance and lance is a bad guy and lance doped did I mention lance dopes? in addition lets acknowledge that RR was the first to know that lance doped and he has been on the good fight from the beginning. in fact it is so important to him he wants to derail threads with his own importance

thank you RR. may we carry on a discussion now?

peerhaps there should be a thread about RR called "another interesting thing about race radio"? wait this is the only thing he knows my bad

Do you ever do anything other than complain about posters? Maybe you should take your own advice and add something to the relevant discussion.

and exactly what is you point good friend?

what exactly is the discussion? Is it not relevant that this race ran through one of the most prestigious resorts in America? kind of ironic when they sell it as the one of the hardest down and dirty events????


do you do anything but complain about the industry people?

Boeing raises a very good point.

WHY is this now a Lance thread? Its certainly not the original topic - nor is he particularly relevant to the discussion of the race.

To put this another way, take the Lance talk to the LA thread.

Any further off topic posting in this thread will result in penalties being applied.

How can it not be relevant to the race. Armstrong competed. Over at Slowtwitch people were picking him for the win. When he totally melts down on the run it is a valid part of the race to discuss.

Google XTERRA World Championships. Are you able to find a story where lance is not the lead?

It certainly is on topic talk about how the worlds greatest endurance athlete was beat by a 16 year old kid at the race. It is also on topic to discuss how the winner dropped Lance on the bike.

It is not on topic for certain posters to obsessively bait and insult others.

 

[Boeing]

If you would kindly remove your podium cap, we could all see your point!

 

[bc_hills]

Nah man, it's not that people are posting about lance, it's the way it always comes about. Whether it's pro or con there's loads of baiting and bull****, no simple statement of fact or whatever.

It gets tired, the rhetoric that is. Can't it just stay in the clinic where there's seems to be lots of people that get really worked up about lance?

More on topic, it's very unusual that such a young racer as the French kid beat so many pros. I'd say he's got a future!

okay the thread remains and Lance may be discussed IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RACE.

If the baiting and derailing keep happening then those involved will get a time out

 

[Boeing]

I wonder if lance doped for this event? they should check the fridge in the Kapalua presidential suite. Floyd should have held a press conference in Lehaina


inquiry minds want to know

This is certainly a good topic.

The kid mostly races Mtn Bikes in France and has had some good placings. 6th at Junior Worlds last year. He lives near the foot of Mt. Ventoux so you would expect he is a pretty good climber. He is 19, wonder where he will be racing the next few years? Many of the you Mtn bike guys move to the road around that age but I have not seen any road results for him

We haven't seen anything like that since the mid 80's.
If the kid can handle the psychological pressure, he may become one of the greatest athletes the sport has ever seen.

Cadel Evans and Miguel Martinez both did this sort of thing in their younger days in the 90's. I am sure that there have been others since then.

I was talking tri athletes.
XTERRA stuff.
Running and Swimming and Biking.
All Around Athlete.
Haven't seen a teenage tri athlete really excell since the 80's.

Ritche Port was a good Tri Athlete......as was Kristen Armstrong.

fiar enough, I was responding to the idea of young riders (junniors) racing successfully against the seniors and pros. Evans rode successfully in National level races when he was a teen for instance

Lance Armstrong says he will come back but doesn't specify when.

Does anyone know when the US Xterra @ Snowbasin will air on Universal? I raced that event and am getting sick of DVRing last years as it keeps re-airing. Thanks
