Agreed. Contador is having a true breakthrough year. Give him a couple more healthy years to develop and he's a top-10 TDF or Giro contender.

Shut up, Flyer. Why do you hate cycling so?

Yep. No big surprise here.

I respectfully but vehemently disagree. The guy's almost 30, has won 7 races in his career and has never finished higher than 23rd at the TDF. He's shown nothing that would make one believe that this year will be any different. The TDG is NOT the TDF.

There was no way Hincapie was going to drop Boonen. No way. It simply would not happen. Hincapie could have attacked until the cows came home but Boonen would have just stuck to him. At Liege, Vino looked to be the more rested of the two. It seemed to me that Voigt simply didn't have the...

Enough about the damn doping. :mad: LBL is this weekend. DiLuca?

Hincapie's looking good. :rolleyes:

Good call. Go Georgie!! :o

I wouldn't even consider George a favorite for races like Paris Roubaix or Flanders. Why? Because he rarely wins races. This is a race for Rebellin, Bettin, Valvarde, Vino and Boogerd.

Someone voted for Hincapie? George could enter a marathon against the top Kenyan and Ethiopean runners and someone would still vote for him.

When Lance retires, will the 99ers retire with him?

Well duh. What's your point? Are grand tours the be all and end all of cycling?

Boonen will win LBL some day. Merckx has said lots of things. Not all of them come true.

He knew his potential. Hell, everyone knew his potential. That he was one day going to be a great rider was of no surprise to anyone. He had no choice but to leave a team that is dedicated to only the TDF. And loyalty? A rider of his talent is loyal to no one but himself.
