Alright seriously now. I've seen the fervent responses in defense of
Georgie due to his frosty reception after the win in France on Sunday.
I get it. You argue that this guy has sacrificed a big part of his
career for the L-Factor in the TdF. And add that he's genuinely a nice
guy liked by pretty much everyone. Fine.
Now put all that aside and develop a picture of a nameless, faceless
racer who wins KBK and takes 2nd at Paris-Roubaix. You know those
courses and the riders they favor.
Now develop a picture of another nameless, faceless rider who wins a
stage three-quarters of the way through the TdF after supporting his
leader daily for the duration. Oh yeah, the stage has 54 km of climbing
at an average gradient of 7.96%.
I'm not saying anything just kicking around a remarkable set of facts.
But if he were from any other country wouldn't you stop to think about
how that could possibly come about against the best riders in the world
in these disparate races?
Now add in Plouay last Sunday and look at the peaks this season on the
calendar. And don't forget to factor in that he's going to win the San
Francisco Grand Prix this Sunday.
That is quite a season dontcha think?

PS...If he took Lance seriously at the tour and has any designs on
being a GC man he'd better get a charitable foundation going. They're
handy cards to pull when times get tough.
Oh yeah, for the jagoffs - here you go:
