Internal problems on Team CSC??

Henrik Jensen

According to an interview with Voigt just after the stage, there seems to be
some problems with competition between the riders:

Q:"Was your attack planned?"

R:"Piil and I have this huge competition, being awarded the
most aggressive rider. He had the number yesterday, and
today I won it back. Maybe he will attack me tomorrow in
the time trial"

Problems for Riis? Could this ruin Team CSCs chances of
winning the TTT?

Bjarne Riis's team is a disgrace to the Tour and will wind
up with nothing. What's with this 'going stage win' nonsense
when you got Bobby "Manayunk" Jullich sitting pretty on GC?

Riis is all image as a D.S., and no substance. Looks like
the riders are running the show. Riis is just a taxi driver
in the caravan for the team wrench.

Voigt is obviously joking. Duh.

I heard him say this while being interviewed on France
2's "Velo Club" right after the stage. He was laughing
when he said it.

Knucklehead, Julich will falter by the end of the tour Dave

...most certainly helped along by having to fend for himself
for 75% of the race. So far he has probably sat behind the
USPS train more than his own team.

That's because Bjarne Riis doesn't know how to run a team.

Damn, starting a rumour like this in rbr doesn't last
long...

I like Voigts sence of humour after riding 200 hard km
though.

Riis wasn't too happy with Voigts attack, as he thought
he gained too little time compared to the hard work he
had to put into it. But it's nice to see a rider
attacking like that.

Since you do, why don't you go over and convince CSC that
you're smarter than Bjarne?

I think the reader of the comment would have to be thick of
skull and small of brain not to have recognized that as a
joke. C'mon, attack a teammate in a TTT, think about that
for a minute.

I think Voigt and de Groot gave up when they realized they
weren't going to hold onto their gap and wanted to save
themselves for Wednesday's TTT. Voigt's got to be a strong
anchor for that ride, I don't think he's fool enough to go
into it wrung out.

Perhaps but in his two most successful tours he was probably
the third strongest man in the field in the third week.

Ok, Tom.

He is trolling. Nobody is that stupid. Look at any or all of
his other articles. I guess he is a knucklehead troll though
so I guess you are right.

Riis is a realist. The only way for Bobby to be a threat is
for all the other dopers to get kicked out.

You forgot to watch Paris-Nice this year? Or Tyler last year in the tour going solo for 150km? Or to take your meds and settle down?

And if Julich is strong enough (which, sadly, he hasn't been since he crashed in '99) he will have his chances.

You can always tell a Canadian posting. Bobby is an extreme
health nut. The only way that you can get him to take
aspirin is to hold him down, shove it in his mouth and
massage his neck for 5 minutes.

You're right about Bobby and any kind of pills or suplements
but the best trick is to hide the pill in his oatmeal.
