Aero of Goleta email: @: Freaking Dillion man. Curious George is my personal idol. I fashion my life after him. Do not line George up with Contador.

FFO of . email: @: Not that there is anything wrong with crack, mind you. I think you may be right, ray, but I think it's more exciting to think of the possibilities next year. What if LA is as good as he is hinting he is? That would make for an awesome TdF. AC will most likely be on another team. LA will undoubtedly have the strongest team in the pelaton again. AC will be the strongest rider. If he is hired by Caisse d'Epargne, he may have a team strong enough to win again. But I really have no horse in this race. I just like to see good bike riding!!
Date: Friday July 24th, 2009 15:21 Comment 189915
ray of @ email: @: I think yer both smokin' crack. Lance has hit his peak and has no where to go but down. He's never going to get back the top end--another year will just add to the gradual decline in his abilities. Lance can't climb like Contador or the Schlecks--at least not two days in a row.
Date: Friday July 24th, 2009 14:57 Comment 189914 E of email: @: Mr Fred, yer a smart man. I think yer right on the money
Date: Friday July 24th, 2009 14:30 Comment 189913
FFO of . email: @: I don't know if it's appropriate to compare Contador and Armstrong. I agree that AC put his team mates on the ropes in terms of Andreas (and even LA perhaps) from getting a podium spot. BUT at this stage in his career AC reminds me the young hot head LA when he was coming up. AC is better than LA when LA won his first grand tour; AC has won 3 already and #4 is coming on Sunday (absent a pump in the spokes!!) He is also younger than any of the other GC contenders. Right now he in his "jerk" stage and will very likely not be hired by Team Radio Shack. But his raw talent and fire in the belly are great for the sport. He may learn next year that you don't mess with LA, who has a very long memory. Speaking of LA, I think is the best overall rider in the pelaton. His riding has been superb, even discounting his age and long hiatus. I don't think even Merckx could have done what LA is doing now. Next year should be fantastic. AC had better watch out.

Date: Friday July 24th, 2009 14:08 Comment 189910 E of email: @: Yellow has cracked before but I don't see it happening tomorrow.I'm biased to heck though- I don't give a crap about Contador. I like Lance for all the miracles and memories he's given us in the past. He's got a blank check from me mang. Alberto can go suck greased mule balls for all I care.

ray of @ email: @: IO, may have to rethink that rant of mine about MC shoes. Since I've dropped weight I've switched to stability shoes, lighter and though I had to break them in slowly, I'm running without the MC shoe or use of orthotic. From the Beast to Saucony Pro Grid Moni 8.

Date: Friday July 24th, 2009 14:02 Comment 189905 IO of Seattle email: @: I think tomorrow may be the best racing of the tour. Lot of podium riding on it. Of course if Alberto was to have a misshap with a bike pump -- ala Breaking Away :-).
Date: Friday July 24th, 2009 13:59 Comment 189904
ray of @ email: @: Lance is done. The only reason he had Contador on his team was to try and control him so maybe he gets one more win or podium. Surprise--maybe Contador is thinking about 7 wins and he's already had to take a year off. You think Lance would have worked for him if he took the yellow? No freakin' way. He would have started up with the we're a team and I'm the leader bullsh!t.

Date: Friday July 24th, 2009 7:46 Comment 189878 Al of email: @: I decided all my loans would be to women because I read somewhere that if the woman in the family is a bread winner, her kids are more likely to get an education. Or something like that. I also picked sewing/tailoring cuz my mom always sewed and it just kind of seemed right to me. :-)

tina of @ email: @: Actually, all my loans today were between $50 and $100. It doesn't take much, people!!! You can lend as little as $25! You just team up with other 'lenders' until the person asking for the money has the amount they requested!

FFO of good read on Jens V. email: @: This is from the RBR newsletter. Read the article on ESPN. Jens is THE man!! ---Jens Voigt could have died Tuesday when he hit the road head first on a Tour descent at an estimated 70-80 kph (45-50 mph). In fact, the first people to reach him feared that he had lost his life when he slid to a stop unconscious with blood streaking his face. But this 37-year-old German (one day older than Lance Armstrong) is already on the rebound. Amazingly he suffered "only" a concussion, fractured cheekbone and road rash nasty enough to need stitches. The loquacious Voigt is one of the brightest and most personable guys in the pro peloton. He's known for his attacking style and selfless sacrifice for his Saxo Bank teammates. A tribute has been written by ESPN.com's Bonnie D. Ford at http://tinyurl.com/mu223u. We are so happy it isn't an obituary. To see video of the baffling crash, click http://tinyurl.com/nnmdx8

Second, HE led your ass all the way up all the Pyranees and all stages so far in the Alps including leading your ass up todays stage climbs then you thank him by kicking him in the balls.

He F'd his team today for his own satisfaction for no reason. Plus I bet he could ride the TdF without a seat. He never sits on the damn thing anyhow. His bobbing back and fourth when in a paceline reminds me of that Saturday Night Live skit "Dot" The little hyper girl that can't sit still. I was watching him this morning and his head popped around the lead guys on both sides for like 30 minutes straight. I tell you one thing I wouldnt want to draft off of him.
