Lance Gripes About American Riders?

Richard Adams said:

I heard that Lance was irritated by needless risks being taken by riders
on other domestic teams in the Tour of Georgia and wouldn't return next
year. I couldn't find anything to confirm a such a statement.
Has anyone else seen in print comments to this effect? Seems a slightly
sour note after what appeared to be a fine race and much needed
publicity for domestic racing.

If postal is taken over by a big domestic sponsor then they might put
heavy pressure on him to race. I have heard that dodge is a possibility.
If he doesn't get a big domestic sponsor for postal then he won't be
racing anyway.

I think it's safe to say that LA is only racing now because he wants to,
he doesn't have to. Unless Kristin is taking him to the cleaners, he's
made enough on endorsements to live quite comfortably in whatever is
left of his homes.

Don't look to Dodge. If you've been reading the financial section or
listening to the business news they're in no position to do any such
thing. Daimler-Chrysler are effectively letting Mitsubishi die and
their investment with it. Subaru would probably be in a better position.

Kristin gets 1/2 of what they had, and at least 25% of what he makes (or
should be making) before any taxes for child support.
And on top of that she gets alimony. If he slacks off, she can take him to
court again and win.
He would have to prove that he is not a winner anymore to reduce payments.

What does a tornado, a hurricane, and a Texas divorce all have in common?

Someone looses a mobile home.

Does Texas have long term maintenance (alimony) or short term reconstructive
maintenance (one to five years) which is what most states have moved to over
the past 30 years?

I can hardly wait for Robert's next brilliant observation:

"Wait a minute! This isn't a forest! This is a bunch of trees!"

My apologies for attempting to type the joke in a manner similar to its oral
recitation.

I heard this same thing from a friend, but I think he saw it on TV.
I'll have to check.

In either case, its more likely that Berry Floor would take over,
particularly if he wins the Tour and doesn't retire. Its a good move
for them to contend with QuickStep.

7-8 million is nothing to a major car company even if it is an ailing
one. Not that I am guarenteeing anything, but I wouldn't look at overall
ecconomics.

Grammer - farm talk for talking like your grandmother. Typical example
- giving driving directions in the city by saying, "Turn north."

2 year alimony, but after that she can take him to court again to try to
continue it. The CS stays 25% until 18, and
she can push for college support in court now too. Since LA has the $$$$,
lawyers will do most anything "access" it, and the courts will help her and
her children out. Texas Law is wide open in court. Austin has one of the
highest densities of lawyers to people in the Nation. (well known in Texas)

I saw a quick interview after he won that sprint at the TdG a couple of
days ago, and what he said then was something along the lines of "These
guys don't use their brakes. Back in Europe, people know how to brake
in a peloton, but not here in the US. It was a scary ride" or something
like that. He looked quite upset, but he didn't say anything about not
racing in the US again.

The only thing close to what you are talking about was his remark that
American riders are not using there brakes as much as the European racers.
No big deal. I did not see anything that indicated he thought this tranlated
to "needless risks" but I suppose one could read it that way.

DOH!

Okay all you anal retentive morons out there... I'll type this part one more
time and very slowly so you can keep up. When telling this joke orally, you
purposefully use incorrect grammar and word choice and combine that with a
southern accent. I typed it the way I'd imagine Cletus from the Simpson's
would tell it.

Now, why don't you all go back to proof-reading the newspaper so you can
feel superior to all the typesetters out there.
