you don't have to like him, but how you got the idea that all he does is joke, i'm not sure. i have
pasted in his informative/interesting posts that are on my newsreader from the last couple of weeks.

But on the other hand highly paid footballers Frank de Boer and Edgar Davids both got their positive
nandrolon tests scrapped in no-time through expensive legal procedures where one of the defence's
reasons was contaminated supplements (also controversial tests, procedural mistakes, etc.).

He was in my team but wasn't very well prepared, got back pain and had to abandon, stepped into our
support car. In Dutch or not, there's obviously no mention of him on the result page.

Well we had some record temperatures this summer (7 days in a row 30+ celsius, woohoo!) but now it
seems autumn has set in with a vengeance, yes. Today again rainy and 15C

It may be he meant 25-50% of your HR range. Say your resting HR is 60 and maxHR is 180, range is
120. Then 25-50% is 90-120. Even so, I would not call the lower range of that a good cardio-vascular
outfit, but I have no experience with untrained individuals.

I think Chung knew, and he wanted to know how "wasp in inner tire" means "aranesp in baxter". In
(southern) Dutch, one would say "wesp in 'ne tuub" where 'tuub' is one pronounciation of 'tube',
which is the same as in English, so it could also mean the tube of the IV line. Alternatively, one
could say "wesp in de binnenband" or "wesp in m'n bandje" or something like that, where 'band' just
half-way sounds like baxter.

Palmarès is French and means 'prize list' in short or: list of career victories and placings.

I wasn't flaming, or at least that wasn't my intention. The answer is: to win. If one sport has
different categories, it is to group people with the same characteristics, whatever those may be. If
the categories are numbered 1-5 and all beginners start in 5 by default, apparently the categories
are ability graded. People who can race equally fast will end up in the same category and will have
the same chances of winning. So people who downgrade have either become slower and will now fit
better in a lower category (the slow fat aging master), or they have not become slower but value
wins in inferior fields above the joys of competing in challenging fields (the sandbagger). Either
way, they want to improve their chances of winning.
But this is just my theory; I don't have a racing license, I have never even been to the US, and I
know nothing of USCF rules.
Oh, and it's "n'est-ce pas?"

Not necessarily. For instance, sponsoring more than one pro team is regular practice for Colnago.
Giant are probably covering their bets for the eventuality that team ONCE disolves completely.

Did you see the finish? Rodriguez was "sprinting" with his hands on top of the bars. Weird. Zabel
was the only one out of the saddle to the finish and as things go he won.

Sure. And "after climbing" not only wrt the stage itself, but also the Pyrenees stages before that

Yeah, no binaries allowed anywhere outside the alt.(binaries) hierarchy. Most servers filter them
out anyway in text groups. Try alt.binaries.pictures.sport.cycling if you must.
