Floyd and The 50+ BF Criteria
It's about 4 hours until Floyd Landis is in the start house for Stage 19...
Regardless of the outcome of the Time Trial, since Floyd needs hip replacement surgery, I think he's earned entree into the 50+ Bike Forum. Besides, he seems like a good egg, and he likes riding his bike. Whattya say, should we let him in?

Only if he turns into a fred and gets a comfort bike.
He can keep his TDF bikes as a memory of how good he used to be.

Really, I think if we start making exceptions for this guy, all kinds of Riff Raff will expect in..... we have to draw the line somewhere, and it's pretty clear to every one that it's at 50 years of age. It's the exclusivity that makes it desirable..... sorry Floyd, you're a nice guy but just don't qualify.

In fact, I'm really a well known 23 year old lingerie super model who just likes to hang out with old farts.

Sure, Floyd can be a 50 plusser - in about 23 years. But for now, he is most definitely THE MAN!!!!
