  1. 170 David Zabriskie (USA) Team CSC 1.42.49
    171 Wim Vansevenant (Bel) Predictor - Lotto 1.45.23

    With his bottle carrying and other duties David can do it!
    Three minutes is not that much time to make up.

    Has anyone ever gone from wearing the yellow jersey one year to being
    lantern rouge in another?

    I've always wanted to see history in the making.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    You already saw it, but not exactly as you wished.

    Bjarne is PNG this year so get this.

    They substitute Kim Andersen 😉

    Jeezus, if I remember rightly, Kim got a Lifetime Ban which everyone
    seems to have diplomatically forgotten about.........

    But I am talking about what happened in real history. You know, before
    they changed the water.

    Irony Inc. shares would really go up if they took Ullrich's win away and
    gave it to Virenque.

    Ah, but, you see, Bjarne was honest and 'fessed up. Kim was unlucky and got
    caught twice. The cycling establishment can forgive you for being unlucky,
    but not for being honest.

    While we're on the subject, Bjarne and Eric Zabel were on the same team at
    the same time when they doped. Both have confessed. Bjarne has since
    implemented the most transparent anti-doping programme in the game. Eric
    has cried a bit.

    Eric is invited to race - may even, in fact, get the green jersey. Bjarne
    is, as you say, persona non grata. Is he being punished for doping, for
    confession, of for implementing an anti-doping programme which shows the
    other teams up?

    Now where the Hell are Gilbert and Sullivan when you need them?

    They could turn the current Doping Debacle into a Comic Opera that
    would outdo "The Mousetrap" which has run every day without missing a
    performance since Davey was a Junior way back in 1952

    The only Honourable option is to own up to what no one in Washington
    or London or the major media will do - that the Iraq and Afghan
    conflicts are Illegal Wars of Aggression making those responsible for
    them in the Administrations and Congress, Principally but not
    Exclusively George Bush, Tony Blair, [censored] Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld,
    Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell, War Criminals warranting Prosecution
    for their crimes and Execution by Hanging upon being found Guilty..

    J.Durand comes to mind, didn't he win the prolouge once? He certainly
    fought for Lanterna Rouge more tham once. T.Marie would be a
    candidate as well.
