Impressed with LA
View Full Version : Impressed with LA
He acknowledged the great efforts of Mayo and Hamilton at
his press conference, and handled himself well in spite
of the many questions. And he still showed the backbone
of a champion.
Anyone who is counting him out of winning his sixth Tour is
a fool. Given the state of the competition, this may be the
greatest Tour ever.

Worth noting: this is actually the fastest that Armstrong
has ever ascended Mont Ventoux, by 3 seconds (pointed out on
Velonews.com)

Good points. Would the world be as interested in the TOUR if
LA was dominant already?

Is that question rhetorical? The Giro has been much more
interesting lately, although last year's tour was a bit
better. Yet the tour is still the tour...

It's a pity you weren't at the press conference to ask him
the true, hard hitting questions, the stuff that journalists
(ha!) these days don't ask out of some sick vision of
decorum. The questions which would reveal for all the true
nature of Armstrong's weakness and impending doom.
Then again, you could just be full of ****.

Now that is interesting news. I assume that is from the
Bedoin start and am wondering when the past times were that
he ascended that portion.
In 2002 (according to CN) Lance set the record of 50 minutes
for an ascent, in pursuit of Virenque. Same approach?

Yes, but you should already know that CN makes
occasional mistakes, and "50 minutes up Ventoux" is an
obvious one http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/tour02-

But we mention 58 minutes there. Where's the 50 minute
reference (and I'll correct it).
cheers, Jeff

Thanks - yes, that bit of misinformation came from the same
source that said Ventoux was an extinct volcano :-) I think
burning it will be appropriate.

Advice from the CIA manual: Never burn a source, Jeff.

Nope, wouldn't want to burn a source. Now, a detainee?
That's a different story altogether...

Good advice. I was going to make it into a roux but ran out
of butter. So burning was the only option. Came out lumpy in
the end but we still ate it.
