So antagonistic and uptight here hey, I said it was my opinion that is all, I wouldn't want to make the rules neither do i give much of a toss really. I mean seriously its like a sewing circle here, anybody who may have an opinion thats different than some of the sad fucks that according to there post count live on here, get short shrift, it's probably the reason apart from the same old faces not many other people bother to join in.

I can count on two hands the people who regularly participate here, says a lot really, still its kind of fun droppin in now and again to see someone burst a blood vessel when someone disagrees with the "collective".

When I first joined this forum the entire posts were: "How high is Lance's Vo2 ?", "How fast is Lance's Cadence ?" and the 100 reasons why Lance is better than Ullrich. It was nauseating.

Geez you're full of shit. You're welcome to post your views. Don't go passive-aggressive on us crying to mummy if your views get shot down in logical flames.

Nice consistent logic -

1. Regular contributors are sad fucks...
2. Your forum is shite because you have less than ten regular contributors.

Hmmm.... slightly contradictory statements wouldn't you say?

You do a lot of research on this forum for someone that is so disgusted by the collective CF groupthink. Let's see... you can count on two hands those that regularly contribute. Hmmm..... Let me rattle off a few regular contributors. You must have grotesque looking hands.

My prediction - Cadel will not be Number 1 in Paris - all the flesh required to maintain that dopey smile of his weighs too much.
he needs some of the supercharged dope your countrymen are on @Barlo

No, he is right. We are in the process of chasing off another in the "Floyd" thread.

We have gone below critical mass. It is one reason I don't post much here anymore.

Bro, if I ran you off or am running off others please feel free to IM me to discuss. I may seem like an insuffrable prick...well maybe more than seem....but I respect you and would listen to what you have to say.

lol... someone is going to have a stroke here i think... calm down Cranky, get out a bit and ride your bike instead of wanking over your computer , it took you 5 hours to come up with that list.... pour on the insults, i reckon we aren't far from that old chestnut, spelling and grammer....oops I mean grammar.

What's funny is folk like you spout from your armchair about chinese whispers, rumours etc, tell me you like cycling yeh ?? what have you ever achieved.... I can't ever remember seeing you on the final climb

Based on Cadel's dauphine performance it appears he's getting his daily dose of sucking somewhere else, because he wasn't sticking to any wheels. He attacked in a way that made the race interesting. And that seems to be a general theme of his riding this year.

That, as well as the fact he's the highest place rider from last years TdF in this years one means I reckon he can wear the number one and not look like a misplaced idiot in it. Do I think he'll win the tour? Not sure, but I think he is the best candidate for the numero uno.

See, doping apologists and participants like you will never realize that simply because we peons don't "know" the "reality" of what pro's go through does not means our opinions amount to naught. Really, all we want t see is clean racing. As to qualifying for serving up an opinion, well, in the grand scheme of things we all have that right. I don't remember those pros ever returning the money they stuffed in their pockets that was provided by their fans. You exist because of us. If we didn't watch, you would be just some schmuck who rode his bike really fast. Really, with your tone, that is all you seem to be anyway.

What I have achieved is being a great father, dad, and employee. I was not given the athletic or mental talent to excel. There are a small number who have. If you were, good for you; however, the worms won't taste the difference in our flesh.

Evans certainly thinks he is number one. Oh, the ego on that guy. He has a painting of himself above the fireplace in his house.

..just for perspective, off the top of your head, name the guy who won javelin throw in the very first Olympics. Yea, his name is lost to history as will yours be some day. Enjoy the fame while you have it.

Finally a reply by ad9898 that is worthy of this forum. Well done.

Nah... five minutes, off the top of my head... except for gpriatko.

I'm pretty happy with my life sporting achievements thanks. And I am glad that the sports I participated in weren't riddled with PED's at the time I was playing. Well, maybe one of them was. My cycling sucks though...

You know that Lance can't rest easy. All it will take is one huge scandal that reaches a critical mass of people talking... and the great big edifice comes crashing down and multiple witness testimony and a broken omerta relieves everyone of their conscience. Truth is great and mighty above all things...
