"You want a rider?"

[progressor]

Franck Bouyer who was struck down with an illness 3 years ago is on the comeback trail. His rehabilitation drug was on the banned list so he couldn't compete therefore he retired temporarily. He's now back and ready to race. On Page 28 of December 2009 ProCycling magazine Franck commented on Lance's comeback.

He stated: "At the age of 35, I was afraid I that I might be right off the pace but that hasn't been the case. I've been able to follow but I've haven't enjoyed the experience. I've never been in a position to win. But I wasn't expecting a miracle."

he goes on to say in reference to Armstrong:

"He's out for three and half years, comes back, breaks his collarbone, but he then takes on the Giro and finish on the podium at the Tour. I don't know what to make of that! But what did reassure me at the Vuelta was seeing Vinokourov blowing up. After two years suspension, he's not the same rider."

Well said Franck looks like you're one of the only ones in the peleton to tell it like it is. Or at least say what everyone is thinking.

Ever heard of a link?

Ever heard of a link?

Now, While I couldn't find the Hog's "LA crowed", Pro Cycling mag story, I can confirm this one, as I read it in the shop!
Nice, smiley picture, too.

Unfortunately, PC mag and reproduction net links usually don't exist, as they tend to stop the mag from selling.

Ever heard of a link?

Ever heard of a magazine? like ones made out of paper and not electronic format? I stated this within the footnotes of the body text. Loser.

I should get my copy in the mail sometime this week. At least I will know what it is about.

Like I said, thehog is not one of these people who thinks everyone is using a doping secret code everytime they compare themselves with Armstrong or other riders. In fact the pros don't often talk like that because they know it's not that simple. All this doping code stuff is very much the preserve of the newbs on the web who are obsessed with it.

Franck Bouyer didn't win seven tours. Armstrong did, and he dropped down to third. Different riders work at different levels. Obvious really.

Sprocket01, is it so difficult not to talk about doping here?

There is the clinic for that and for a very good reason as your clueless posts have pointed out.

Sprocket01, is it so difficult not to talk about doping here?

But that's why I was explaining that thehog wasn't talking about doping.

Sprocket01 is obsessed with doping, perhaps that is why his favorite rider is Armstrong?

Damn right. I like the clean riders.

as usual, you make no sense.
Take the doping talk to the clinic, that's what it's for.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Would like to encourage everyone to take the doping talk to the clinic, or the thread will end up closed. Thank you.

considers mentioning doping just to get the thread closed..

then again this thread is great, its keeping all the crap nicely enclosed a handful of pages..

so if i slap you round the head with a fish in 2005, 2009, and 2010, how many years in that time have a not slapped you round the head with a fish..?

Mmmm.....fish....
So what is the recommended species "conversing" with sprocket? Personally I find that a moderate sized albacore can give a particularly satisfying thunk when impacting the cranium.

My mistake you did, I didn't read it well. sorry. Called you out about it on the wrong post.

Besides that, this is the second time you've blatantly abused me on this forum. Rules don't apply to you? Still can't face up to sept 5th? Desperate for more belief in yourself as an 'insider'? I'll look forward to your apology and explanation.

Thanks. Apology accepted.

 

[craig1985]

Funny how about some ask you about September 5 and you go all quiet.

Albacore?
I was thinking that salmon would be more effective, especially as I was going to recommend we use the tinned variety. That should give a more than satisfactory impact.
After all, Sprocket has done nothing but go on fishing expeditions around here, using his favourite bait of the old red herring.

When I was a kid, dad would take me fishing for perch, actually I think they were bluegill, they had these sharp spines along their top fins, had to be careful when grasping the slippery baz-duds to remove hooks.

Bet those spines would get one's attention....

I have this tingly feeling that i missed something on September 5th? Would someone kindly fill in the blanks as to what September 5th and The Hog have in common?

Did we miss his birthday or something?

he's all class is he not?

Less than a week ago, I got back from vacation and now I’m eager to clarify my future once and for all, because I’m returning with a strong desire to start planning next season, thinking about preparation, training, the calendar and the goals for 2010 aside from the Tour, of course.

I want to start working immediately because this year’s going to be different, since I’m going to have new equipment, new kit and new bikes, which won’t be easy after being used to Trek for several years, because I’m very happy with all the technical sponsors that I’ve had and I’m very grateful to them. They’ve been with me during the greatest victories of my career, and that’s been very important.

Soon I’ll have to change many things and adapt to new ones, starting with the bike, but I’ll never forget the work that they’ve done for me. I hope that their memories of me are as good as mine are of them.
