I like DZ. Seems like a funny eccentric guy. What's so wrong with that?

sastre was sooo disappointing today!!
the difference between diluca's face and menchov's is incredible! menchov looks like he's out for a sunday stroll to the cafe while diluca looks like he's sprinting for the line, only it lasts for the entire 15km climb instead of 10 seconds.

Menchov rarely breaks character.

menchov's face on the climb plus this breaking story about rabobank riders and a blood bank are giving me that bad feeling you get when you find out another grand tour is total bs once again.

Did you see him after crossing the line? He almost passed out on his bike. Not to mention that he couldn't match that final sprint. I think (hope) Menchov is clean, and I'm definitely pulling him.

i got an email today, from a friend who moved to tuscany last fall.
he was raving about the italian tv coverage, and how the whole village is inside watching TV dring he giro.
the best part of the email is about his 78 year old neighbor. apparently she saw Eddy M on a local climb, back in 1968. as he rode past - the first time she had ever seen him in person - she says "oh, you are lovely" and he said "thank you."

As much as you like to ask others to leave, did it ever occur to you that you might be happier elsewhere or that maybe, just maybe it's you that is the problem?
You are constantly criticizing or putting other posters down. Your "style" or lack thereof is tedious. Just saying.

It took style for you to know that you have no style. You're in.
