FWIW, I always took LANCE's "get dropped then"
as more of a promise ("you'll get dropped then") then
a complaint, which I think means I agree with you.

Captain Waddell didn't take offense at the time, and
he was there.

Maybe the age explains why Tricky Dickie and El Yaya had been embalmed
with aranesp and humatrope before their successful green jersey
campaigns.

I am wondering - is drug use rampant in cycling?

But Tyler is tanned, rested and ready.

LANCE is six months younger than Tyler and he's already retired.
On the other hand, LANCE won a tour at 33 going on 34, by which
age Merckx, Hinault and Indurain were tending their gardens.
It's creeping Masters-ism: people are staying active longer now,
y'know. You just gotta get regular exercise and keep drinking

Yeah, suspensions don't make you any younger.

As for old age and sprinters, I have always thought sprinters age
better than other riders.

Cipo is an exception. Zabel, who has aged better than most
sprinters, took his last green jersey at age 31 and won his
last stage in the Tour at 32. He is not an exception.

Compare that to the relative geezerheads like Virenque (35)
and Jaja (34) that have recently taken KOM jerseys in the
Tour.

You're right that Zabel hasn't won much in recent years, but he still has been
right up front. He's had about a jillion second places in various races over the
last couple of years. I think he's been more consistently at (okay, *near*) the
front than anyone else. Which means he's just barely lost to more different guys
than anyone else.

Click the link for Boyer's aliases.

Funny thing is, for a guy whose name was printed differently in every
race report I ever read (Jon, John Jonathan, Jock, Jacques, Jack,
etc.), his aliases are not any of those, but Jonathan Swift or Jonathan
Dyer. Huh.

What struck me was how old those guys are. By the time the
season starts Commesso will be 32, Hondo 33 (pretty old for
sprinters), and Tyler will be 35.

Guys that were much better Grand Tour riders than Tyler were
completely out of the picture by that age. At 35 Rominger
was doing well to pick up a Vuelta KOM jersey and Tyler will
never be as good as Rominger.

dumbass, i was referring to local races (like the one where the lance
comment happened). having never ridden in the protour i imagine there's
some similarity, but there's more teamwork and more sense of riders
playing roles.

Dude, you are going to have to be high on something to bear
looking at that crazy Tinkoff kit for more than a few seconds
at a time. It is making my eyes cross. I also cannot figure
out the heraldic symbols on the coat of arms on the team
car. The bottom half of the shield is a unicorn rampant, OK,
but the top half appears to show the hand of God emerging
from a cloud and brandishing a chicken drumstick. WTF?

Also, isn't this team basically financed by a Russian bank?
I'm _sure_ it's all on the up-and-up.

That unicorn is not rampant. Rampant is standing, two left off the
ground. and much more vertical than that. As for the arm, it looks

Comes as no surprise to me that God favors KFC. If man was made in God's

The unicorn represents the fairy tale that is Hamilton's doping defense.

dumbass,

the tactic that wins is always defensible, but despite that i'd say 75%
of the jawing, arguments, intimidation and fights at races originate
with someone tryng to get another rider to work more in a break.

By the way, I'm still glad Commesso didn't beat Fedrigo in Stage 14
going into Gap in '06. Commesso rode like a choad and kept refusing to
take pulls. He was just sitting back there on the wheel like a pussy
shrugging his shoulders. Fedrigo took it like a champ and drove on in
spite of these nonsensical tactics.

And then that pudgy no-neck little fucker attacks at 1k to go? WTF?
Where's that little French girl with the mussette bag when you need
her?

Thanks,

DA74

If he'd won, it would have been the right tactic. That's also why
LANCE's "get dropped then" was so moronic.
