Mayo commits a MAJOR faux paux!!
View Full Version : Mayo commits a MAJOR faux paux!!
Hey,
This photo (http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2004/jun04/dau-
phinelibere04/?id=results/stage4) will be the death of Mayo
at Le Alpe d'Huez in the Tour de France.
It is the baseball equivelant of standing at the plate and
watching one of your home runs. In the Major Leagues, young
guys will do that, and it is a major sign of disrespect to
a veteran pitcher. It usually is remembered next time at
the plate.
Mayo should have just kept his head down in a workmanlike
respectful manner.
Too bad. Now Lance will take the exact time out of Mayo in
the next
uphill TT, as a way to send a message. Jordan used to do
that with
points in the NBA. He'd school someone by the same number
points, if
they ever got to boastful after a good performance. Very
effective.
Thanks, Ronde Champ (going to my first Tour de France in
2004!)

Admit it Kunich. This idiot makes the real RC look good by
comparison.

I met Palachick in Paris in 2000. He seemed a nice guy at
the time. Later when he was out of reach he reverted to
form. I lost all respect for him when I realized that he
hadn't any idea of what it takes to be a man. Instead of any
heart all he had was mouth. Nothing has changed has it?
Now we're seeing the "new" Ronde Champ, Callistus Valerius,
and a couple others who have so little life that all they
can come up with is trolling on the internet news groups.
They are pitiful creatures at the very best and we rarely
see their mediocre let alone their very best. I've just put
them on ignore but there are plenty of people here who think
that these guys are chummy.

Tom, you're on a roll this evening of being rather eloquent.
More/less fiber in your diet lately? Good rides?

Baseball is like watching paint dry -- in slow motion.

Apparently there is/was a television show in Britain that
did just that: broadcasting images of paint drying. People
could call in to vote for their favourite and vote out ones
they disliked.

I thought you and Tom hung out together for a bit at the
Tour 2000? Am I not wrong? I am still jealous.

Tom, Carl, and some others...
Maybe if these lunie tunes had real balls they'd try out for
LAST COMIC STANDING?
At least reality TV would get an injection of high
performance cycling levity.

Lots of good rides.
So what was his Faux paux ? Was it winning the stage, taking
the bait ... ?
