Looks like a succesful fishing trip: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=121085

Never could, probably never will.

climbo 07-12-05 01:36 AM

but they can go on for 10 pages about "is wearing a team kit chessy?", times about 100 threads on the subject.

I am ashamed to call them my countrymen. Sorry, Lance is just a guy that rides a bike. Only a bit more of an athlete than Andrew Johns. Well, ok, so he's in the game a bit more than Joey, and has a better success rate. But he's still only human. He's also a probably more motivated than your average racer, but look at the backing he's got. Coaches, sponsors, doctors, dieticians, probably a hooker for a post race rub and tug. And if I see one more yellow wristband, I'm gonna be tossin' my bikkies.

Blasphemer!!!!!!!!!! How dare you cast such aspersions against our Joey! I'm going to print that post out and promptly feed it to my ass! :mad: :p

Bugger. All my OV guys let me down. First Petrov gets chucked out for a blood irregularity, Popovych crashes, Menchov pops out the back faster than a vindaloo curry, then Vinekourov runs out of ticker.

Awesome display tho. Thought Rassmussen was spectacular after his escapades on stage nine. Might be an alps special in a year or two once he learns a few tricks.

[edit] Two Hors Cat tonite. McGee is not looking forward to them: "Just starting tomorrow is a scary thought. I don't even like to do the Galibier in training. I've done it five times in races and every time it has gotten the better of me."

Chicken looks good to keep the "pois".

Evans waiting for the steeper stuff.

T-Mobile have had it.

I'm on base training for the next 5 weeks, seeing as how I need to lose large quantities of unmoveable lard. So no thrashing about for me for a little while.

Good luck with the interview

jock 07-12-05 10:48 PM

Its not like Alan Jones ( the race car driver) that had to go and sell all his trophies cause he went bankrupt :eek:

climbo 07-13-05 05:20 PM

dunno, he probably got more than one I suppose when he held it, a couple of spares maybe? You wouldn't think he'd need to sell any though, but then again, he probably won't at that price.
