Did you see the size of McEwens helmet? HAHAHAHA! He looked like darkhelmet from spaceballs.

Sounds like helmet envy to me.

"we own them in europe"? Quelle Arrogance!

In last years TdF, there were 38 Europeans and 2 Americans actually finishing in the top 40. What's your point? Enough of the "americans are better than everyone else" bullsh1t for a while, eh?

Yeah, your football team is brilliant.

(For the record, I'm a big Lance supporter, want him to take first place, want US Postal to get their winners cheques, with Ullrich second. I just can't stand macho american bullsh1t. Roll on a more gracious, more humble, better America.)

Do you think Johan told them to get the team classification so they could start last in the TTT?

The Posties (Discoveries?) are flexing their muscles!

By starting last in the TTT, the USPS team will get to go slow, finishing just slightly faster than the 2nd fastest team, while conserving energy which should not be wasted unnecessarily.
