Welcome to the world of those who have heard BRNBW.
You're welcome to your opinion.
I never said or thought it was originated by EM.

Please show me where I have shown VS a speck of disrespect.
For one thing, remember I'm one of the Hincapie Defenders (the only
one?) here who, instead of crucifying GH because he doesn't win big
races, has a real-world appreciation of what has been quite a career
for George. Team captain with Armstrong for the TdF wins, and then a
complete and completely successful change of role to be leadout man
for Cavendish (who might well have won at least one Green Jersey by
now except for an arguably (not really arguably, complete) bullshit
complaint by you-know-who.

You never heard me say anything negative about FG or VS, other than to
call VS a team rider, which he undeniably has been for ten years.

My opinion remains the same IRT "Bad Day for the Rainbow Jersey".
Any time someone sits on and wins, you're going to hear criticism.
Sean Kelly v. Argentin, MSR? Tough toenails, Marino! But some didn't
see it that way.
The criticism of GH for winning the mountain stage (2005, St. Lary
Soulan finish) I heard had to do with the certainty some had that GH
only won with the help of banned performance-enhancing substances. I'm
sure there was "other", at the time, IRT "opportunism".
In fact Pereiro apologized the day following for remarks he made right
after the race. Well done; "that's bike racing!".

Thanks. On rbr, you know, it's the journey not
the destination - because trying to win arguments on
the Internet is, err, like trying to fix a flat tube by
pumping it and riding it ("I only have to go another
half mile, maybe it will hold").
Actually, I am CTO of a new sustainable energy startup.
We're extracting geothermal energy from holes people
dig on the Internet. That's why SoTS pays me to post here.

I don't remember a word of "pointing out anything about my particular
viewpoint being my particular viewpoint" until your post.
Um, I started the thread, and I didn't say "I heard so-and-so say it
was a bad day for the Rainbow Jersey and I agree with him", so I guess
you could say this viewpoint is something where I reacted to the race
I saw on American TV and some Euro feed. Again, where no one said (as
far as I heard, BDFTRJ.
"MORTS" didn't come up with a seemingly applicable meaning in a quick
google search, so, since I really don't want to read your mind in the
first place, and don't want to waste time (far more valuable than
recyclable pixels), would you like to give the meaning for what you've
spelled out?
Like I said, you don't have to agree. Makes no difference to me, and
don't have a cow, OK?

Besides the actual date of implementation of DST varies from Country to

I would imgine that CET is as easy to use for a base as any, given that

As an indication of the level of this investigation, they have
received from French authorities the frozen 1999 samples, which were
turned over by the athletes on the condition that they only be used
for research, and used by the laboratory under the condition of total
anonymity.
This is why you need a jury system, because even if it is approved by
a judge, the jury can decide that common sense dictates that it was an
incorrect decision.

As I pointed out in 2005 when that L'Equipe article was written, the way the
AFLD results for the 1999 samples were displayed de-anonymized the results
and would have been useless for the research purpose they claimed.

Since you are using a pseudonym to make yourself anonymous, your
expression "As I pointed out in 2005" has no value, especially if you
were using another pseudonym at the time.

I've always found Sean Kelly informative - I think the "new" guy is
better at getting useful information out of him than Duffers was - but
I was surprised he said that. At that stage of the race, if you want
to win it you have to go for it one way or another. Nobody else was
going to do the work so Gilbert's choice was either chase or be
damned. He evidently knew what he was doing! Pretty impressive stuff.

Schleck lost over 30 seconds on the Cauberg. Although that
is a hindsight view, in hindsight Kelly was correct that
Gilbert could have waited.
I bet if you studied races where a lead rider hits the
kite with a gap like Schleck had you'd find that most don't
win.
