I hate the Cutters in France

http://www.procyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=1329

"The reaction to our Cutters shirts was great. People were yelling to us, "Tape me in!" and "Go you
Cutters." There were even some people that recognized us from the 2002 Tour coverage on OLN. With
the race close to finishing we got in the car again and headed to Lemon Hill were the real Philly
Cycling fans are. As we were walking up the backside of the climb the announcer yelled out over the
mic, "hey it's the Cutters," and went on the explain the the crowd of a couple thousand that we are
"famous" for our Tour exploits."

These guys totally suck ass. Not content to be just fans of the sport, they feel the need to be so
totally over the top as to think that they are going to attract fans of their own.

Just like that German Devil asshole that follows the tour. He acts like a

team car over that stupid whale...

Oh, Ok I thought the OP was talking about the "Cutter's" bringing their fat ass wives overseas
with them.

Dashii

 

my credentials are these- my mother is french and i have lived in france off and on, and i raced all the way back in the day in colorado against eric heiden, the 7-11 guys, and once against greg lemond- (he lapped me at least twice). though Breaking Away is cheesy, i must admit it did make me feel good about being a cyclist way back in the day. I voted against both Bush and Shrub. all that said, i must come to the defense of the Cutters. i happened to stand with them on the final day and through them my fourteen year old was able to shake lance's hand. we moved down near them 8 hours before the race as they set up. i didn't know who they were at that point, but i knew they were going to be fun to watch the finish with. and they were. yes they were a bit like a dorky r rated comedy at times, but they were funny and generous and 'real' supporters of lance. by the end of the day it was a pretty wild party, with several west pointers just back from iraq and a hord of others. I met, among others an asian-american from manhattan, an african american from california, a hispanic american form san diego. some knew load about what they were seeing others very little. but i must say that no one was disrespectful or harsh. the loudest post cheer came for ullrich and he acknowledged it with a huge smile. I think the original poster is just a bitter loser- someone who gets off on thinking of himself as 'in' and wanting to keep others 'out'. All i know is that lance armstrong loved the support and it was a great blast to both sing the national anthem with my fellow statesmen and women, and also to go home that night and enjoy a fabulous french wine. vive la tour!

 

Nice posting but the best wines come from California now.

So...

You make your living cutting rock in quarries?

Because that's what a cutter is... not a poser that has his wealthy parents fly him to France in
July; then proceeds to make an ass of himself, making other Americans look bad.

*Real* cutters are lucky to afford luxuries like food and shelter let alone a plane ticket to
France. I'm halfway sensitive to this fact as I grew up not far from Bloomington, IN. I have some
appreciation for the real deal.

- Boyd S. hates posers... especially "Cutters" posers

Really? Among the thousands of people, you didn't see me? Maybe your stupid shark got in the way.

What is it with these cyclingforum guys who post something to a thread that died about 3 months ago?

This is like the third in the past month, although by different posters (I think).

Really...

slow...

feeds...

BTW I've noticed Google->Groups takes about 3 hours for a posting to appear on there. Glad my
ISP has news.

 

.. Glad my ISP has news.

ditto I am really pleased that mine will go through the hassle to maintain a news server.

 

Boyd...my parents are not wealthy- I worked to earn the $ to go and that you are sensitive to the struggles of real cutters is heart warming...you miss the point of course...sounds as if you are bitter...ride more...it helps to drain away all that anger

 

Not that slow.

You should too, to relax that nervous twitching whenever you hit the full stop key.

It is not the latency at all that causes these articles to come in months after the topic is dead
here. The issue is the way the articles are presented with the web interface. As you can see, they
show up here the same day they are posted. The articles are broken down by category, then
sub-category and only then by date (or age). Many articles are presented as "fresh" thate are months
old. When the users are browsing the topics, they are just as likely to read articles that are
months old as they are to find the newer ones.

In addition, (this one is a guess) I am do not think that all of the articles are even presented
there. I think there is a moderator that decides if and where to post them.
