He should stick to what he does best: giving reacharounds to Lafferty

dumbass,

someone here said that the odds for wiggins were 30:1, so i would say

From: "JC"

When Cadel Evans grabbed the yellow jersey, one of our commentators(Phil
Anderson) was asked "can Cadel hold on to it"?,.. he said he doubted it as
when he reaches the alps he won't have any team support, where as the other
contenders will.
Now i was under the understanding that the main reason he switched to BMC
from the Silence team was for better team support as he wasn't getting any
from Silence during the mountain stages.??

The big surprise today is that Contador was unable to keep up with
Andy Schleck. As for Lance it's not really big surprise because has
suffered from a lack of agility and luck since his comeback.

I have yet to see Chris not tell it like it is, regarding what's going
on in the peloton, and his own situation. And you can tell the guy knows
his job, perfectly. He talks about figuring out what Lance was capable
of and used his SRM to set the pace accordingly. No seat-of-the-pants
stuff.

Remember the old days, when he was criticized everywhere for failing in
his first attempt to race in Europe, coming back here to be a big fish
in a small pond? Has Chris matured or were people here immature? Oh,
right, this *is* RBR. :-)

Whatever, it's an interesting transition and I can't think of anyone
else who has gained so much credibility so late in their career.

If you can, find an overhead replay of that stage. Faster means more
speed, acceleration means going from a slower to that faster speed. Cav out
accelerated Farrar, jumping the 3/4 bike length. Then it was even and
Farrar looked to be gaining slightly. Absolute speed and acceleration are
two different terms.

You broke the code!!!

Back when Tiger was banging strange stuff damn near everyday, he was
on top of the golfing world. Now that his steady source of drop-dead
gorgeous, long-legged, firm-titted ass has been cut off, you see
what's happened to him.

Ditto for Lance.

Lance doesn't need any doping -- give him a few hours alone in the
shower with Angelina Jolie, and he'll win TFD #8 !!!!!!

Henry says that Lance's problems are at least partially mental and you
think that makes him a lance defender?

Then allow me to defend you by saying that you are the biggest fucking

dumbass,

hardly anyone was willing to attack as long as contador had teammates
with him. joachim rodriguez tried and ended up losing time.

if contador is isolated though i would expect to see attacks.

===
Plan B = Leipheimer
===

Which is a real problem unless Contador is a lot weaker than he was last
year. Which *could* be the case, or it could just be that he had a
marginal day today due to the heat. But if the Contador we saw last year
shows up in the Pyrenees, I don't see Levi clawing his way back each day
when he launches an attack 4k from the top. Andy Schleck remains the
most vulnerable due to his time trial issues, and I think Levi has a
better shot at marginalizing Andy, especially if Jani is up there.

And in the new world order, there's a lot of firepower on RS that can
now be used more effectively than in the past. Despite his age (where
have we heard that before?) Chris Horner remains an amazingly-capable
domestique on the climbs. Jani, we've seen him at work in the Dauphine.
Popo can probably be called upon to drive tempo in the middle of the big
climbs. All those tools had been centered around Lance, but now they're
available to Levi.

So I'm sticking with my ridiculous notion that Schleck might not even
make the podium, going with Contador, Evans, Levi. It will be the
most-boring run at 3rd place ever. How could it not? I'll be able to
watch replays on the flight home and actually fall asleep. Don't get me
wrong; when I've been around Levi he seems like a truly nice guy. He
lack of attacking, and his consistent droping off the back when others
attack, and then slowly clawing his way back... it's just not very
exciting to watch.

Dumbass -

I agree that it's not very exciting to watch, but there's not a whole
lot he can do about it.

Dude can't handle the tempo changes. It's his weakness as a climber.
(speculating here)-> probably genetic - not a whole lot of anaerobic
power potential.

dumbass,

leipheimer did drop contador in 2007. both leipheimer and kloden were
better than armstrong last year, but you didn't see it because
leipheimer had dropped out.

I see nothing about the route that would make it difficult. It's not
technical, it's not hilly. Are there consistent (predictable) headwinds?

Police gear up for influx of sex workers during CWG
http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Police-gear-up-for-influx-of-sex-workers-during-CWG/644950/

Agencies, Posted: Jul 11, 2010

New Delhi With the Commonwealth Games less than three months away,
authorities here are gearing up for a spurt in cases of prostitution
and trafficking in women.
A host of non-government organisations, tour operators and police
department are coordinating to keep tabs on the expected influx of sex
workers.

The Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), an umbrella body of
over 1,500 hotels, tour operators and lifestyle services providers,
have asked the Tourism Ministry to keep a check on such activities.

According to IATO president Vijay Thakur, "prostitutes from different
foreign nations masquerading as tourists would book short tours to
India. As it is difficult to restrict their entry at our end, we have
recently asked Tourism Ministry to keep a check on them."

He disclosed that such sex workers come from countries like Ukraine,
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Chechnya and Kyrgyzstan
besides others.

"There is a need to check such activities and hotel owners should be
vigilant" he added.

Several NGOs too have warned the government that the Games, scheduled
for October 3-14, may be seen as a big opportunity for prostitutes to
make quick money.

"There is a huge possibility of trafficking in young girls from tribal
areas in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu and
Karnataka besides other states," said Rishikant, Convenor of an anti-
trafficking NGO Shakti Vahini.

The NGO recently rescued young girls from Railway Stations and Inter
State Bus Terminals (ISBTs). "These girls are sold to touts in
different brothels of city's infamous G B Road area," said Rishikant.

According to latest Home Ministry data, about 3,600 cases related to
immoral trafficking of women were registered by different state and
Union Territory police forces in 2007.

To check entry of foreign sex workers, some NGOs have "urged Union
Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and External Affairs Minister S M
Krishna to ensure that visas are given only after checking HIV status
of tourists. It will help in checking prostitution and possible cases
of STD (sexually- transmitted diseases)," said Khairati Lal Bhola,
President, Bhartiya Patita Uddhar Sabha, an NGO working for the
welfare of sex workers.

The GB Road area alone has 116 brothels with about 6,000 sex workers
drawn from India and some neighbouring countries. The Delhi Police
says it is ready to crack down.

"We are ready to check any cases of prostitution. We take adequate
action as and when cases of trafficking reported to us", said Deputy
Commissioner of Police (Central) Jaspal Singh.

On its part, the National Aids Control Organisation (NACO) is
"planning to install more condom vending machines and train volunteers
to inform people about the threat of HIV and sexually transmitted
diseases," a NACO official said.

Just ten days ago, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram approved the
setting up of anti-human trafficking units in 335 police districts and
Union Tourism Minister Kumari Selja unveiled a code of conduct for the
tourism industry aimed at enhancing the safety and security of all
tourists and freeing the sector from exploitation

Listen, don't get me wrong, Schleck made a really nice and classy
attack at the end of the stage and deserved the victory but the real
star of the stage was Daniel Novarro. He did the yeoman's share of the
work on the climb and systematically decimated the front group almost
single handedly. This is not to take anything away from Vino but
Novarro was clearly the head of the class and was one the strongest
climbers in the race today. It would have been nice to see how he
fared if someone were to work for him.

Yeah, there's oodles of information out there, but it's nice to get a
heads up on the better stuff. Horner is usually one of the better
sources.

So, you interpret Wiggo's comments as supporting your contention that

Dumbass -

Contador had the same roads, he went 2 riders after LANCE.

LANCE doesn't have it anymore upstairs. It's not that surprising, it happens
to everyone. Even Eddy Merckx.

FYI, in Horner's interview on Versus.com, he said that when the
traffic circle crash happened at the bottom of the penultimate climb,
Lance was in the top 10.

He can't quit, the 'show' is about being human and infallible this

Clean Lance - I think so. Clean Greg? I am not so sure. I think his

anyone know for sure if Greg has exactly and definitively denied

There was the "iron injection" in 1989.

Was it iron?

I think everyone was taking iron and b vitamin shots back them
especially in stage races. I used to get them and they weren't
illegal.

Sad to say - yes - Frank was doing it and it probably indicates that
they (or at least Frank) had the intention. I wish it wasn't so and
there's a part of me that would like to think that Andy is clean from
just something he said last year to his excited mother after a win
"It's only a bike race"

I'll bet many good pros are boosting at this point. There's just too
much info out there.

No - I am talking about the unlikely possibility that Lance would call
in a delivery of blood that could then be DNA tested and identify him
without a doubt as a doper.

All they need to do is search people going in to his area of influence
but make sure they search the 'right guy' without tipping off a
'patsy' that might go in before to test if searching is happening.

It's pretty clear that Lance's paranoia, searching for pinhole
cameras, taping up the room is status quo.

It occurs to me that a smarter way to share 'boosting' technique would
be to post directions on the web and then give a teammate in need the
keywords that would let them find the post.

"I've heard that (any name of a rider doing better) found some advice
on the web by googling "boosting - testosterone patch, bicycling and
wattage" - some guy name 'Dr. Wattage" posted it."

This would keep a guy like Floyd from pinning you down years later.

Anyway, you guys ever seen any explicit doping or boosting directions
on the web?

The book I have by Asker flat out recommends using EPO as I recall

GOOD DAY, REPLY ME ASAP

Attn: My Dear Friend,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. May I introduce myself as Mr. David Neumann a staff member in the accounts management section of a bank here in London; one of our accounts with holding balance of Ј25,549,250.00 (Twenty five Million five Hundred and forty nine Thousand two Hundred and fifty British Pounds) has been dormant.
From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a foreigner who died long time ago. Since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money as he has no family member who is aware of the existence of either the account or the funds. Information from the National Immigration also states that he was single on entry the country. I have confidentially discussed this issue with one of the top officials in the bank and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with.
We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of the deceased and have the funds released to you after due processes have been followed.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act.
On your interest, let me hear from you.
Warmest Regards,
Mr. David Neumann.

Ummm, he only has one ball.

Maybe you meant:
Put on a solo ball patch and a bottle of Jack Daniels tonight and
Monday night and then go on a double attack on Tuesday.

Yes he looked good at that time, what's worrying is that it wasn't a
very steep climb up to Avoriaz compared to what they're going to have
in the Pyrenees so that would normally have suited him better.

Well no one rally attacked on the Ramaz, Sky rode at a high pace for a
while and then Saxo took over, but nothing extraordinary judging by
how many riders stayed with them. Astana only started pulling when LA
had been dropped, payback time, eh...

As for a plan B, what could he do apart from having a guy who could
keep up like Levi did today.

Well in 2001 on that famous "the killer look" on the Alpe, Team
Telekom (with Livingston leading the charge) had fired on all
cylinders all day as Armstrong was wussing around, pretending to be
having a bad day, but granted they just kept a high pace, they never
attacked.

They'd only weep at the fact that they couldn't have been racing
against a 38 year old pseudo-celebrity that can't seem to stay upright
any better than a wino who just got off the tilt-a-whirl.

Luftmensch,

There are quite a few race tactics that look
brilliant when you have the strongest guy in the
race, and not so brilliant when you don't. That's
not to say they have no value. A tactic that doesn't
fuck up the advantages you do hold is already a
step ahead. (Look at the many times Telekom
managed to do nothing with the cards they held
in the Ullrich years, even if LANCE was stronger
one on one.)

Anyway, this whole looking back at LANCE's
weaknesses in retrospective analysis is luftmensch-
thinking. LANCE last won the Tour when, 2005?
Five years ago? What cracks him into tiny little
pieces now might not have worked then. It would
have been good if Telekom had tried it, just to make
things exciting, but he was near the top of the
field then, and he really hasn't been near the top of
the stage race field for a while, especially this year.
I think the people who said his results in the last
couple of months were crap may have the right to
say they told us so.

Yep, there was definitely a chink in AC's armor today, and there's a
smell of blood in the water.

I kept waiting for Contador to blast off - never happened. He said he
had "breathing problems". I'm pretty sure anyone trying to hang on
Navarro's wheel was having "breathing problems", judging by the number
he shelled.

This is your most endearing trait. Your ability to point out other
people's assumptions while ignoring your own. Well, that's not quite
true - you don't ignore them, you transmogrify your assumptions into
how-could-anyone-argue-this? fact.

You, sir, are the Alchemist of Logic.

Based on previous discussions, it's my understanding
that team mechanics sell slightly used copies on ebay,

Yea, he's old, but I think what we are really seeing is what a "clean"
Lance looks like. LeMond was right, it seems. The investigators in the
Lance Armstrong investigation think they can either crack either George
or Tyler, so we will see who will be the next one to crack in the US
Postal saga. In the David Millar interrogation, French Police were able
to make him crack in only four hours under that warm lamp. All it will
take is one more to crack, and it's all over for Lance Inc. It's too
bad, that this had to happen, but Lance just couldn't let it lay, he had
to do just one more tour. This tour could be his whole undoing, placing
Greg once again at the top, as America's best cyclist ever.

Just think if Tugboat could have talked, it would have changed everything.

Hey, dimwit, I thought you'd left. BTW, by your logic regarding a
"clean" Lance, what does that say about the guys in the front group
today? I sure don't hear you bitching about them.

Oh, wait, I get it. You're one of those incredibly naive people who
believe that only Lance was doping during his seven TdF wins, and that
everyone else was as clean as the virgin snow, right? Or maybe even
more absurdly, you believe Lance was taking some special sauce that
made the difference that the others couldn't get from their corner
drugstore, and because he had better dope, that was unfair, right?

We all knew the day would come when Lance would blow chunks on a major
climb and get his ass kicked. I'm pretty certain Lance knew that day
would come, too. We also knew that every douche like you would emerge
from the woodwork to crow about his demise. You might want to take a
look at his twitter feed and the post-stage interviews, Compare them
to the interviews with LemonD after he blew chunks and dropped out of
the '93 Tour, and let me know who you think did a better job of owning
up to reality. Until Lance invents a disease to explain away his
demise, I think LemonD has the corner on excuses.

Let me start off by stating that I am not a Lance fan boy - I just
like to argue and I feel it is in your best interest to inform you you
are full of poop.

What you are seeing is the erosion of Lance's mental invulnerability.
There's a physical component, of course, but at the top level of sport
it's a mental game. Tiger Woods certainly hasn't been tearing it up
since his illicit-and-oh-so-sweet pussy was taken away*, and similarly
Lance's realization that he is mortal is taking its toll. He no
longer has that willingness to take chances at speed, he's lost his
'luck' and now _frequently_ gets scathed, doesn't like going fast when
it's wet, etc.

The snowball, she no roll up hill, meester.

* This is an assumed opinion of the sweetness of the pussy, and not
shared by the author, Google, Google Groups, and/or any of their
subsidiaries, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't think it were
true.

and his tour victories are thrown out like Landis, should Basso,
Ullrich, be given wins? Should Vinokourov move up? Oh I know we will

This is a fairly correct analysis and a largely sensible post. To add
to this line of thinking, I think psychologically Lance went into last
year, and this year for that matter as a challenger. While this is
factually true (that he was a challenger) I think if he had walked in
and pretended he won the race last year and rode like the defending
champion he would have benefitted psychologically. He is an alpha male
but essentially relegated himself in these two tours to a challenger
for alpha status. Discuss.

I respect Lance and all of the 190+ guys who had the guts to show up
on the start line at this year's TdF. Only one guy can win the race.
By your ridiculous standards, everyone else shouldn't even have shown
up on the line. You did get one thing right - your chances of a podium
finish, in any event, are zero, because you haven't the slightest idea
of what competition is about.

Oh, and I doubt very seriously that Radio Shack is sorry to have
sponsored Lance. Add advertising to the list of subjects you don't
understand.

Dumbass,

It's Chung Chart time!

I'm in Germany right now. You know the American
stereotype of Germans as roly poly Sergeant Schultzes?
Guess who is laughing now. Sure there are people
who look like that here, but mostly not, even with their
diets of German food. Maybe it's because they have
such small refrigerators, and markets with fresh food.
Every time I come back to the US, I have to re-accustom
myself to the wide, expansive fatness of the American
landscape.

It's pretty rare to see a rider dropped on a climb do well later in
the tour (the harder climbs are yet to come), either the form is there
or it isn't, but I guess you need a first to everything.

"On the last climb I had no problem. I thought about attacking earlier
but I have a plan for this Tour and IÕm going to stick to it."

Too bad he didn't strike earlier today, what's won is won, Contador
might have better legs in the Pyrenees...

Saddle sore which will undoubtedly require a steroid butt cream with
some actioveggan as well.

When you can no longer ride the stage from the front, shit happens.
Welcome back to 1995, Lance.
