While watching "cyclism Sunday"

[Ken C. M.]

I was wonder who will be the next L.A.? Is there anyone coming up the
ladder that will be able to come close to doing what Lance did? I know
that guy Floyd Landis(sp?) is a bit on the older side for a pro rider.
But did manage to win on Sunday.

Ken
How about Hincapie(sp?)?

Ullrich is getting kind of old too so how about Hamilton?
He did come in the top ten even with a broken collarbone.
It seems he has the grit and he is young enough.
Besides, you said "the next L.A.".
Who do you expect to win 7 in a row??????????

Given that he's

o 34 years old, and
o currently serving a two year ban for blood doping

I'd say pretty unlikely...

Damn, One year and all is turned upside down without Lance.
Beloki.
That new kid Cancellara?
Totally guessing but I think it will be someone who came in pretty high
in the TDF or at least won a stage like Cancellara did.
Dunno.

Cancellara is a strong young (25) time trialist, but I don't know how
well he climbs. Some other names to watch: Damiano Cunego (25),
Vladimir Karpets (26), Yaroslav Popovych (26), Sandy Casar (27) or
Denis Menchov (28).

One thing's for sure, the next few tours will be fun to watch!

I sure hope so since OLN devoted the entire month of July to the TDF.
I am getting really sick of their bull riding BS cowboy stuff.
Tour G'Italia, France, Spain, all should be on OLN, I hope.
Even if it is only just the highlights they better have something or
they are going to get a boat load of complaints.

It looks like the Giro D'Italia is getting shortchanged but at least
they are covering things, even if only Sundays until the TDF month.

if you're thinking of the newst american, it looks like Floyd is getting
there- hard to say if he could win the tour THIS year, but if he keeps
on this type of form and doesn't have a major injury, he'll be right up
there in the top 5, maybe the podium. As for the giro, he's doing it for
training. He'll either finish fairly high or decide to abandon.

I am sick and tired of OLN coverage. If you get the chance to subscribe to
RAI international, do it. Prerace coverage, race coverage, and post race
coverage (ok, for the interviews a limited amount of italian helps...). And
with very limited commercials. Milano - San Remo in fact has about 15
seconds(!) of commercials - and no, I am not kidding, I have seen it twice
now.
Also, www.onlinetvrecorder.com will add Eurosport pretty soon (probably in
time for Giro). Just record it, download it and then play it with WMP.
