yes or no? - Page 2

Yes. Rasmussen will target this jersey and with no outstanding GC candidate this will be a priority for the team.

My question - has anyone else noticed that the FDJ team seem to be the only one in the ProTour that regularly change the colour of their shorts (sometimes navy, sometimes white). Why??

No But I know that the Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears riders change their kits depending on which country they're racing in.

My question: Even if Ullrich wins this year's Tour de France, will he be remembered as talent wasted?

Probably the talent on the least right place at the least right time. He would probably win 8 TdFs if Armstrong wouldn`t be there.

Did anyone notice that Saunier Duval - Prodir was accualy Prodir - Sauiner Duval at USA races last year?

Prodir.
They're a pen manufacturer.

Personally I prefer an A.T.Cross pen.

Do you think limerickman should post a question here?

(No offense Lim)

Apologies.

Cuervo is correct.



I use an A T Cross pen (following on from Prodir).

Do you use a pen? And if so what make is it?

No, well, I don’t bring any pen with me, but I use anything with ink inside when I have to write a check or a note. I had a set of wonderful Montblanc's that my parents gave me when I finished the college, then I got haired as computer system designer and the pen lost it's use, I can't write at the screen (and I DIDN'T try!)

It's the lust for a new bike/wheelset/group/accessory ever stops?

the lust for better/new stuff may not EVER cease. when/if it does, the cycling world as we know it will either be perfect, or gone.

will Lance ever race professionally again?

Agreed.. But it could have been Fausto Coppi if it wasn't for WW2.

This question seems to have usw all stumped.....

I'll answer. Not in cycling. But my question is...

With Armstrong running the NYC marathon and his success as a triathlete in his teen years, can we really believe him when he says he has no intetion of getting back into triathlon?

If he wanted to, and trained for it, he could sure make a run at winning an Ironman title, maybe even Kona.

Hehe yes. That`s what he`ll do! As retired cyclist with plenty of million $ and a lot of hot chicks around him, returning to triathlon is probably the worst thing he can do! Answer is definitely NO.

My question: would you run NYC marathon one year after finishing a carrer of one of the best cyclists ever?

yes why not - my q is how long will it take to beat 7 tour victories in a row?

I think if T. Dekker doesn't do it, it may not be done for about 40 ears because of the specialization, and it seems to be that there could be several riders over the course of the next 10-15 years to battle for the title, while Lance in reality had 2 constant competitors to contend with (Beloki and Ullrich).

My Question: With McEwen and Boonene looking to take alot of stages in the sprints, do you think another sprinter will win a stage (I.e. Zabel, Hushovd, Bennati)?

Yeah, I think a sprinter stage will be won by another rider, whether he is a sprinter or not is a definiton-nitpicking question, as no professional GT cyclist is a true sprinter like the trackies.

My Q: Do the american riders have a dope advantage due to a proximity issue/ pharmaceutical contacts, or are they better because the american organizations are just playing cover-up like they did with King Carl?
