Testify!!
There is no god other than Lance and thou shall not consider any other
racer except the apostles of Team Discovery who are unworthy to carry

So sayeth the unwashed masses.
Go Lance!

$20.00

 

[Philip W. Moore, Jr.]

I'd bet $20.00 on Julich making the Top 29.

Crit Pro, tell us how to get in touch with you to collect the money in July.

$100 says BJ is not in the top 20 after he comes under the Arc de
Triomphe for the last time.


Magilla

 

[Philip W. Moore, Jr.]

Post your personal information so you can be called after the Tour. With
whom are you making the bet? We should set up a PayPal pot of money.

Uh huh - can we confirm we are talking about the last time - this
year, in the Tour - in GC? I see major candy assing for a $ 100 bill.
(Well, yeah, but he finished in about 50th place with the other GC
guys in the final stage...)

Just someone on two wheels...

and early Tour prediction, which I will not change unless one of them
skips the Tour:
1. Ullrich - makes a strong move to get back to 2nd overall in GC
after last year, and finds himself in place to win.
2. Armstrong - if you're going to hand off the Tour, why not to the
person that you've been claiming to be the best rider practically
every year?
3. Basso - marking for second again, ending up in third - again.
....
10. Julich - I'll cover your $ 100 for 20th place or better in final
GC in this year's Tour. I'll even pay if Julich doesn't start the
Tour.


and pieces of Kloden DNF somewhere on the road from a ******-off Zabel
attack. Advice to Kloden - don't go anywhere off-camera with Zabel on
your wheel.

Welcome back, TFJ. Your other personality was getting a bit too staid for
rbr.

Unless of course this is just some early season training for July (in
which case TRAB's training program must differ substantially from yours).

 

[Chris M]

Kloden, Vino and Ullrich. Wow, that has to be a DS's worst nightmare.
Sky high expectations with so much talent and so relatively few
results. Vino has been a dark horse Tour contender for the entire Lance
era (after winning the 1999 Dauphine) and Kloden has been since his
flashes in the pan a few years back. That team has so many problems of
its own creation, it boggles the mind. I remember in the early 90s when
they got humiliated with a half an invite to the Tour (though Zabel
made good use of it). I guess ever since then they have been trying to
buy as many chiefs as their budget can handle. BTW none of them aside
from Vino ever really wins so much as they end up in the lead on
occasion in races of attrition.

Look over the 2004 Tour de Suisse again. Ulli had already won the race
by the end of the first day, and he did it with a single massive attack.
Even if he hadn't won the ITT a week later, he still probably would
have taken the overall GC honors. Or how about the ITT during the Tour
he won, when he dusted everyone by 3 minutes Indurain-style?

And anyway, what is the Tour de France if not a race of attrition?
