Anyone who wants to talk about those things must go over that that NG. This is an cycling newsgroup, lets keep it that way.
But Fabs, if you're going to get all specific then you should not be posting outside of rec.bicycles.huffy.fred.racer.wannabe!

At least not until he actually wins a race. Winners count, second place is just part of the clutter. And this group is .misc just in case that doesn't translate to "Italians who don't win races." Bill (tourist, rider, not racer wannabee) Baka

Looks like we don't need or want you here, good bye.
Like I am going to listen to a "Fabs" runner up. This is not a racing group, even though some think it is. Go practice riding and not typing and you might grow up to win a race some day. Bill Baka

Can't believe you're still upset that I let Alessandro Petacchi out sprint me at Milano-San Remo this year. But he has guys like Sacchi and Matteo Tosatto on team Fassa Bortolo to lead him out, big advantage over my team's lead out crew.
Bill, it's June now, let my lose at San Remo go, there are other races to fight.

I will lighten up when you beat Lance Armstrong in a 1 on 1 time trial. Bill Baka

Fab, you never quit trying and it's for that your fans cheer for you. Just ask yourself, where's Bill's fans?
Bill doesn't need fans, unless the adoring kids and the stray deer count. Remember I am a grandpa, not a competitor, although with enough training I might be a competitor. Other things in life like wife, work, 3 grandkids, etc. take time out of my biking schedule. The large amounts of food that I eat on the longer trips I do hear about due to cleaning out the refigerator. Sorry, not this year. Bill Baka

Why pick Lance's strong point?
It would be close anyway, look at last year's stage 19 time trial in the Tour. It was 55km that started from Besancon.
I've studied the course profile and from what I see I would have done the course in 1:06:49.35 as compared with Lance's 1:06:49.31.
Lance was 42.31at the 34.2km mark and at that point I would have been 42.23, so that shows that in a time trial of 35km I am faster than Lance. It was only over the next part of the course that Lance would put time on me.
I know from experience that on that day I would have climbed the Cote de Morre that came 4.5 km from the start quicker than Lance.

If I believe what I read on this group you put your hands up in victory and crashed. Is somebody bullshitting me? Bill Baka
