  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?

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

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

    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.

  11. 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.

    Apparently he could grab a few great pastries on the way out as comfort food.

    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.
