No Lance, Discovery Sux....

No Lance Discovery sux, Hincappie not matching the 7x champion, and other Discovery riders cracking in the Pyrenees.... Only U.S. Hope is Leipheimer / FLoyd Landis, but with that funky Hip bone, doubtful... Pump drugs into Landis hip!

Hincappie was only a sentimental favoriate. The guy had one good day in the mountains last year and they anointed him. As for the rest of the team, it's like when what all my stoner friends woud say in high school when they couldn't find the weed: "Man, it's dry out there."

Leipheimer is essentially done for this TdF I'm afraid. He's something like 8 minutes back in the overall. It's a bit too early to say that Disco "sucks" I think. They could still get a rider on the podium but it's going to take some work. Floyd still has a great shot at the podium. Although I'm saying all this without having watched todays stage. I'm going to watch it when I get home sp don't spoil it for me! 😄

I won't spoil it, but you'll be surprised by what Levi does.

Yes.....But where was TMobile????

Disco = Waive the white flag.

It´s amazing how a team that used to be with armstrong and another Disco/Uspostal man when all the other teams have only the leader and many times only basso or ulrich now get the best rider at 4' 10''.

Psico or stamina lapso?

Yep, Discovery are deffinitely sucking in this years Tour.

I'm not saying he kicked ass. He did something between droping out and taking the leader's jersey. That's all I'll give away.

Both of which happened today with folks you'll recognize, but I'm not naming names.

Yes, I see your point. Your comment didn't necessarily imply that he did anything "good". Although, you did say that I'd be surprised. And based on his performance so far, dropping out wouldn't really be all that surprising! 😉

The following teams are in disarray: Lampre, Credit Agricole, TMO, Saunier-Duval, Euskaltel, Islas Balearicas, and Cofidis.

Discovery has a secret plan for Big George to win the Alpe d'Huez stage.

Is it against the rules to hitch a ride on the helicopter?

The secret plan involves getting the top 30 contenders drunk the night before the stage so they wake up late and miss the race. 😉

There is great news for Discovery......no one will accuse them of doping.
"Jose I told you to buy EPO from the druggist not EPT...damn"!
"Do I look pregnant"?

Even then it should be incredibily hard for him against the likes of Zabel...

Perhaps the "Race to Replace" should be expanded to 9 spots rather than just 1. And some new sponsors may be in order as well, perhaps BALCO and Amgen are interested?

It has now been re-named the "Race to Disgrace".
