Default Amazing Armstrong victory

...smashing a field of off road pros, and he hasn't been on a moutain bike for a year! What an incredible athlete.

Armstrong wins in Snowmass, weighs in on “Lance Day” | AspenTimes.com

Could Contador pull that off?

Great ride by Lance. He's showing solid form heading into Leadville.

And here's support to Lance's fresh PR from Lance's rotten PR...
BTW what are those races? Some compensation for Tour de France losers or topic to save PR credibility. Whatever, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM since you've started posting.
Pathetic!

Easy Andrea! It's not my thread. I'm just adding my contribution.

First we get everyone complaining that Armstrong gets too much press. Then we get people saying they don't know what he's upto. Fcuk dude... get with the program, it's not like this race wasn't on two of the biggest cycling websitess.

Snowmass is a 12 hour relay race up in Colorado and is a benefit event for the Aspen Youth Center and Extreme Sport Camp - which is a summer camp for kids with autism. Quite a few of the well known mountain bike pros ride the event. Armstrong was using is for prep for his attempt to break the Leadville 100 (100 mile mountain bike race) record. The race hits a max altitude of over 12,600ft.

So, it's a charity race. I'm not sure that the point of charity race is to smash the field. Also, I'm not sure how that smashing the field in a charity race contributes to Armstrong cycling reputation. Someone here doesn't understand what is pro cycling about and what are charity races about. The one who started this thread is doing very bad job.

What a childish reply.
How old are you, bunny? Let your mommy wipe your nose 'cause someone insulted superhuman achievements of your superhero.
This forum should open children's section.

Armstrong isn't my "superhero". I admire his accomplishments as I admire Contador, Indurain and anyone else who is at the top of their game in any pursuit.

I also admire riders like Voigt, Hincapie, Cavendish, etc... People who have won stages only. In fact I admire anyone who puts out their best effort, win or lose.

I was remarking on the constant belittlement of Armstrong. What has he ever done to you that you feel pleasure in degrading him? Are you jealous? Is it because he is American?

You are the one who needs to grow the f*** up little boy. Get the f*** over it! He's a GREAT RACER! Better than you will ever be! You are a loser!


Snowmass is still no less a race.

The constant belittlement of Armstrong happens because of his constant arrogance and insulting treatment of others. 'GREAT RACER' does not excuse bad behaviour.
