From the Velonews live coverage:

3:21 PM A reader question
Ryan writes:
How does Discovery approach the end of this Tour. Do they make an all out attempt to keep Contador in the maillot jaune or do they push to put Levi in yellow, as he is the main man...the bees knees.. the cats pajamas. Have enjoyed coverage greatlyReally Ryan, the whole issue of tactics, aside from the most basic goal of staying out of trouble in today's field sprint (there will be one for the remaining points), there are really no tactics left until the fallout from tomorrow's time trial is assessed. For us, it's wonderful to see the outcome of a Tour come down to the final "Race of Truth." The only way that could be better, is if they would end the Tour with a time trial into Paris. The last time they did that - in 1989 - the result was fantastic

Too articulate for Ryanf. Correct grammar a dead giveaway it ain't him.

You think they wouldn't edit the grammar/spelling?

My question is: did the reader actually use those terms or did they edit them in?

OK, how's this? Ryan would never EVR refer to Levi as "the main man". What further proof do you need?

Good grief, let's pretend the fictional character doesn't exist in this one forum, eh? He exists in the roadie forum only, and even then only as a figment of everyone's imagination. Let's keep the pollution out of the TdF forum and keep it on-topic as much as we can.

If my name was Ryan, I'd want Ryan F to disappear too. Have we ever seen you 2 online at the same time?:rolleyes:

Unfortunately, yes. Come to grips with the fact that he's a fictional creation of someone else on these boards with too much time on his/her hands, and quit feeding the troll.
