I've got me doubts about Phonak, more so than floyd himself........I reckon Rabo & T mobile can send a few off the front & Floyds gunna either have to chase or wait for someone else to do it.......given he likely won't have any team mates around once the 'wick' gets turned up...cadel's gunna have the same problem, Horner won't be any help at all if he's spending his days back in the 'auto bus'!.......I reckon Menchev has gotta be a chance on this stage.

I had to laugh after seeing Horner on an SBS pre-stage fluff piece saying how he is Cadel's man for the hills and would be right there beside him when the road turned upwards and then SBS get into the day's coverage & there's Horner struggling to say aboard the 'bus!

so in doing some middle east research I'd googled Giza and one of the pages I had open was www.cia.gov
24hrs later it's still open and I go back and have a look around the site, and they've got a cool map of the world on their maps page. I thinks I'll download that.... 8.4MB for a bloody map?
Should I be afraid?:p

my pre race tip for the GC was poppy...maybe hes not ready for it this year and is coming from too far back...but hes still on the fringe and now hincapie has been shown up to be a posser tomorrows stage will be make or break for him...if he can go with cadel/landis all day (unlikely) then he might be a show...menchov will be the only one to attack...if he doesnt then i dont think cadel or landis will push super super hard...cadel should take a leaf out of robbies book and just fight alone tomorrow and try to tag along as best he can - and give his whole team the day off...and the second day in the alps the same...then try to get the boys up for the third day as a unit when phonak and rabo might be weaker if they push as a group on the first few days...god i really speak rubbish..is it really obvious that i know sweet FA???:rolleyes:

what is obvious is that cadel and robbie wont be riding the same team next year...cadel will get offered his own brigade i should imagine...surely?

Hey Expat would you trust Maurice enough to buy a second hand set of wheels?
Im factoring in that I would need to replace the bearings.

Better to ask Jock than me. I waived cash in that guys face, and couldn't get him to sell me anything, so I may be a bit biased against him.

Guess you'll just have to refer to them by some other label as opposed to using a benign Australian colloquialism. "Over-sensitive bastards" seems to fit. OSB's for short.
Whatdya reckon Marty, Brian?

Works for me


Hitchy's been banned from saying seppo in the open forums. He gotted biatch slapped by Koffee and Marty ran awy and hid.

I didn't run away I went walkabout you roo rooter bastid. Hey I need some time to myself
if I'm gunna be able to waste half my day here.

oh yah, one other thing:

Leave Lancy pants outta this, and his mother/girlfriend/wife clones too.
He is working to make the world safe for democracy and is a hero and nearly died ferchists sake.
he wasn't shagging those sheilas for fun you know, and besides Cheryl actually RODE a bike
up Alp d'Huez I saw it on a humane interest story on OLN (Only Lance Network) last year
before he dumped her.

I believe the next political hotspot is going to be Lesotho, I understand that we are
going to be going there to help make the world a safer place, but then I might be wrong
(not that it matters).

and I'd be careful of all the political banter, some other mod may take it on themselves
to move TAT(s) to Foo, and then you'd be in the porcelain phone to god with all that seppo talk.

w@nkers.

have a nice day

That was it....

Gunther Van Hagens is his name....he's had quite a life. Son of a Nazi SS officer and pioneered "plastination"....has been accused of stealing cadavers and breaking 200 year old public dissection laws....

You mean they don't always have a really really bright light shining on the downstairs bits so it just appears as blinding white section? But that's what they do in CSI so it must be right :rolleyes:

They showed that autopsy show here, I think I saw part of the old
geezers lungs being removed, I was gunna koch so switched to something
more (less) appropriate like OLN coverage of the Tour as seen through
LANCES perspective, like what he thinks of the stages etc. fascinating stuff (it).

Speaking of which as payback for all the seppo jokes Lance called all the
french a$$holes on public TV, and he wonders why they don't like them
and seppos wonder why the world doesn't like them. . . .

fark it, nuke em all.

well somebody's gotta show that not all us seppo's are brainless twits

(helps that I travelled alot and lived in RSA for 5 years).

Kylie has been banned from US tv, the religious right feel she
is too, uhm suggestive? yah that's it. and if they haven't the
prudes are sure to pass a constitutional ammendment to back
it up, obviously they've never met Priscilla either.
