Yeah. French guys winning was cool. I am hopeful that the tour will be exciting this year. Not the same 10 guys in the lead group on every mountain stahe. I want to see a GC contender grab five minutes on the field and then loose 25 minutes the next day. I want to see human beings race. Not some juiced racing machine like Big Brown (for the non-Americans, Big Brown is a horse that won the Kentucky Derby admittedly juiced to the gills this year).whiteboytrash said:I'm with Bro. You know what...... everyone was pumped start of the season & the first few races.... once the Giro rolled around the same old ******** came out....... Sella & Contador spoilt a wonderful clean season and dragged it back to what we've seen for the last 15 years.... it was just more of the same..... UCI trumpeting on that Contador was clean but not giving the same assurances about any other rider and Bruyneel running the same spin about broken elbows, hayfever and beach holidays.... I for one have lost some of the passion......... only if French riders start winning will I believe again.......
Ok Malkmus, you've gone too far now. You can talk about all of these bike boys all you want, but Big Brown was clean dangit:Malkmus said:Yeah. French guys winning was cool.

Champions overcome that. It's the horse racing equivalent to brakes rubbing.C'dale Girl said:Hogwash, I say . . . his shoe came off.

It's a book aimed at idiots. If anyone thinks they are going to get the "back story" to the 7 Tour wins then they know fark all about cycling. Him writing this book without mentioning the doping Lance used is like Michael Schumacher's team manager writing about the 7 world titles but denying that there was ever any petrol in the Ferrari engine.whiteboytrash said:Ha ! LOL ! No wonder he doing the commentary this year.... he looks forward to July every year for 3 weeks away from Mrs.ET.... that why he was so ****** with ASO...
