maybe he is just asking out of courtesy....e.g. it might be considered
impolite if he just took-off without giving them a chance.

Who? Mancebo, Rasmussen, Valverde? Because that's who Keith was
talking about.

Wow, if Discovery is paying those guys too, maybe Lafferty really
is right, the team is an evil criminal conspiracy cooked up by
Bruyneel, Tommy Weisel, Carmichael, Ferrari, Roll, and Verbruggen.
Did I forget anybody?

Dumbass -

Really good bike racers, ones that have the entire "package", are able
to manipulate interpersonal relations with other competitors to their
own advantage.

It's one of the fascinating things about the sport.


thanks,

You ask Valverdi if he's happy that he "helped" Lance?

And last I saw, Ras is in second place because he "helped" Lance.

They helped because it was in their interest to help.
