  1. A source of mine said some CEO suit, marketing suits, technical suits,
    and some bean counter suits, took a van out of Waterloo, Wisconsin, for an
    emergency charter flight to France. Something's up folks. He said they
    didn't look too happy.

    They probably looked unhappy because the expense per diem sucks.

    After he retires, I doubt you see him on a trek. But if history is a
    guide, they usually don't ride again. Fast cars, is usually what they
    graduate to. Unlike most of us in rbr, they don't ride for fun, they ride
    for money, and that takes the fun out of it.

    If history is a guide, you'll see him riding an Armstrong.

    I wonder how that will bode for LeMond? I guess LeMond is OK, because they
    offer bikes in steel, ti, and carbon, right? How will an Armstrong be
    different than a Madone?

    Trek will drop the LeMond line and replace it with an Armstrong line.

    Well, you could have said he would be riding a Lance, unless
    you think he would end up being sued by Javelin.

    LeMond has 5 Aluminum models too. Oh, sorry "Performance Aluminum".

    An Armstrong will be like a LeMond in that there will be many
    different qualities and "levels" of bikes. Everything from a $500
    model with SORA all over it to a decked out carbon costing $5000.

    LeMond has 21 Models. Based on Tour math that's 7 models for every TdF
    win. So if Armstrong wins this year he will have to have 49 models. 42
    if he loses.

    See, it's that simple.

    Roger Lapebie (1911-1996) , winner of the 1937 Tour, rode up
    until the end of his very long life.

    An emergency charter flight to France, out of the Madison airport? Yeah
    right. I suppose they could try and steal a National Guard plane, but
    there's nothing that's likely ever landed at MSN that could make a
    trans-atlantic flight.

    But how does this fit into your expose of the government's secret plan to
    sell Washington and the New England states to Canada?

    G5 would do it easy.

    OK, so that explains why the bean counters were unhappy. And now the rest?

    And accumulating some virtual victories presumably.

    Waterloo is about two hours from O'Hare, so it's possible. Considering
    the source and his fondness for hallucinations, it seems unlikely that
    if it's true that the atmosphere is as presented.

    With a 9000' runway?

    Boeing's 757-200, 737-600, a few Airbus models, too. Refueling would be
    recomended along the way. If those can do it, there must be a number of
    corperate jets that can too.
