  1. Seriously, might this be Jan's secret way of shedding those
    last pounds prior to the Tour? It would explain why his face
    always appears fat while his body has slimmed down. I would
    also explain his lack of great concern for being overweight.
    Anyone in Europe heard an speculation about this?

    Anything is possible, but weight isn't just bad because it weighs something. In reference to the 2000 olympics lance said that he was probably a pound or two too heavy. He didn't mean that the one kilo of weight was too hard to pull, he meant that extra weight meant he hadn;t trained hard enough. If Jan needs lipo then it won't make him tour ready.

    Training hard burns calories from diffrent sources. If you
    train hard and eat strudel, I can see a body sheath of fat
    to reduce things like power to weight ratio.

    No way! This would destroy so many of those valuable
    capilliaries that can only be built up through long slow
    distance training that it wouldn't be effective.

    The capillaries that supply blood to the fat cells?

    How else do you think the lipids get into the
    bloodstream? LOL

    Stewart! Why are you taking Lafferty serious? Liposuction
    is a serious and damaging process not some easy method to
    lose weight.

    I significantly enjoyed the bacon, egg and steak sandwich
    that my fiancee cooked for me yesterday before a 1500m race
    and the 100km bunch ride this morning was fueled by cereal,
    coffee and a cream bun. Lipid intake for healthy living...

    My tongue was firmly in my cheek regarding my liposuction
    comments 🙂

    I genreally don't see Tom , except indirectly, since I
    plonked him. However, liposuction is quite common as any
    dematology practice can advise. It's frequently done under
    the name of body contouring. Dangerous.........not medically
    or cosmetically of extraordinary risk if done by a
    competent, trained physician. I'm sure Jan could find a good
    Swiss clinic.

  10. I think at this point it is even money that fat boy does not
    start the tour. I think his team is must be very worried
    they just wasted a few million.

    I predict he checks himself into a mental hospital when
    they exclude his fat ass in an atempt to save some face in
    the media.

    Where the hell is Andy when we could use a competent
    opinion on the subject? Might kill the debate
    though. Bill C

    Andy "wet blanket" Coggan, the man with the facts.

    And I predict that Jan will be the only serious threat to
    Lance AGAIN this year. Although he hasn't shown good form
    in his early season showings it must be remembered that he
    sure as hell didn't look all that good before last year's
    Tour either.

    I find it facinating that people talk about Jan as if he was
    some cow that wondered onto the course when he has
    overpowered and overawed every single rider in the peloton
    save one - Armstrong.

    Jan is the dumbest rider in the peleton. Why not go back to
    the formula that "worked" instead of the one that keeps
    getting him second place or knee surgery???...check his
    results for the leadup to the '96 and '97 tour.

    It's remarkable how far you can go on a cup of oatmeal and a
    banana. Coffee's for after the rides, keep you awake and out
    away from the four-wheeled menace which plagues the streets
    after 10 AM.
