Let me be one of the first to say that this has got to be one of the most boring TDF’s to date. I was hoping for a battle. I don’t feel so bad about not having cable at home.
I think this Tour needs a little sex, violence and rock 'n roll to liven it up.
no way, those guys were way tougher back then…kind of guys that crash, break a handlebar and a spoke…steal a shoe lace from a crying kid, re-sow the tire…then break a wine bottle in half over their head, using the cork to fix the handlebar,while drinking the wine and chewing glass.
And all this on a bike with two gears, that you have to flip the tire over for the second gear…with tires over your shoulder.
Now we have guys that just train for one race a year…wussies.
You forgot to mention how much they liked it too…loved it as a matter of fact. The glass would cut their tounges so the pain in their legs seemed less…and the snow would keep them from sweating to much…
I was kind compared to what I just got from a friend, and I will share…
“I just wish we didn’t have to be subjected to cycling commentary from Sheryl Crowe about the race … she should stick to what she knows (jerking Eric Clapton’s wrinkled dick), and leave the bike racing to her boyfriend.”
Damn, you guys are BRUTAL. As a female, I happen to like her. She’s talented, pretty, intelligent, successful and has become a HUGE cycling fan. What is so wrong with that???
I respect her, as she is not just some baby-making, whiny, dilletant arm candy. Say what you will, but Lance’s beyotch has ridden Alpe du Huez in under 90 minutes (me, a 5:58 bike @ Placid 39 year old wench, did it in 1:27, for comparison), and she, just after a few months of riding.
So she smoked EC’s schlong… um DOH! He’s only the hottest man in rock!!!
Keith is proof that with enough recreational drugs, blood transfusions and unfiltered cigarettes, you can still appear alive, when in fact, your brain stopped functioning sometime in 1975! He’s only hot because he is not 6-feet under and manages to still breathe. I have seen him semi-upclose (Stones in Portland Rose Garden in 1998, 4th row). I’m still scarred.
I’m convinced that Tom Cruise has completely LOST it. Not only the Katie thing, but the sheeit that comes out of that guys mouth is unbelievable. Sort of like watching a trainwreck in slow motion!
I know you guys are kidding… the bitch-slapping thing was quite hilarious. But think of ALL the bimbo’s Lance COULD have shacked up with… Just be glad it is not some idiot like Jessica Simpson. Imagine THAT interview with Al Trautwig!!! One idiot interviewing a no talent twit.
Actually, I would pay to see that. Unintentional comedy at it’s best. In fact, add Charles Barkley to the Trautwig/Jessica broadcast team, and I would never leave the house. “I know what a peloton is stupid, it’s that thing that is with the electro-ton and the neutro-ton. I took science in high school.”
