Exactly so. It is no business of mine how she lives
her life. And I am sure she will get along just fine
without my admiration.
It wasn't just raising children specifically that I
was referring to. I think that dedicating your life
to racing bikes is OK for a while. But I think to not
have found a different path at her age is exceptional,
and not in a positive way.
Linda Jackson creates a new career for herself every
couple of years. I think that's every bit as
exceptional, in a positive way, as what Longo has
accomplished.

Assuming the data is right (doubtful), 58.71 km/hr (36.48 mph). Maybe
the ITT had a 20 mph tailwind, or was off a cliff. Or derny-paced. Or
Grubered.

Just looked at the German women's ITT. Judith Arndt, 28 km in 34:33,
48.63 km/hr (30.22 mph).
How come I never got to do a TT on a course like that? I might have
broken the 20 mph barrier.

That's it? They're going after a defunct pro team with an out-of-
business bankroller? This is going to lead to the downfall of the
EMPIRE OF LANCE? Guess I was expecting a bit more fireworks.

I agree. It's only beginning.
On another note, did anyone really believe that all those "ex" dopers
on Rock Racing had really cleaned up?

And the criminal search warrant is under seal so that no one will know
who has talked and provided evidence leading to the issuance of the
warrant. It's just the beginning of a long process. Sit back and enjoy

I have the distinct feeling that this opening salvo is meant to start
applying pressure to those who may have information that will assist
the prosecutors in targeting the big fish. These motherfuckers are
going to start singing like a Spring Nightengale when they get
confronted with the consequences of lying to the Feds and the reality
of prison life for skinny white guys with the build of Kate Moss at
the end of a coke binge at NY Fashion Week.

Heck, why not toss it out there and look like a fool a month from now? Let's
hear it. Here's mine-
1: Contador
2: Basso
3: Lance
This assumes Andy can't quite get it together enough to overcome the minute
he'll lose in the final TT... this just doesn't look like his year. Wiggins
could end up in there instead of Lance. Jani B is an extreme dark horse, and
would require a scenario where he was put in charge of checking Contador on
the final parts of the climb... and as the only person on RS who might be
able to hold his wheel, could end up putting him in a position to be
supported for the GC. But there's a lot of other 2nd-tier talent out there
that could make a showing.

Kurgobro,
Aside from my defense of Lafferty, what makes you think I haven't been

ultimate irony of all this is that he has been right all along -
right?

KG's criticism of Lafferty is mainly about Lafferty's, like LemonD's,
single minded obsession with LANCE without equal attention or concern
toward any of the other dopers.
