  1. Hi,

    For a few minutes, early on, I also thought the Simeoni in this
    stage's break was Gilberto. But I realized which Simeoni it was when I
    was reminded that Gilberto was already back in Italy. Not to mention
    that Filippo is from another team.

    from the article:

    Tour-Australia's McEwen strikes again

    By Francois Thomazeau

    Italian Filippo Simeoni and Spaniard Inigo Landaluze attacked from the
    38th km and the bunch, gearing up for a gruelling 10th stage to St
    Flour on Wednesday, did not budge at first.

    The two held a maximum lead of 10 minutes five seconds before the pack
    started to react, finally catching them about 50 metres from the line
    and helping Voeckler retain his race leader's yellow jersey.

    To see Simeoni fail so close to home must have pleased Armstrong as
    the Italian Domina Vacanze rider is one of the American's bitterest
    rivals.

    <snip>

    Does reporting like this make Armstrong's reputation amongst casual
    tour followers more arrogant?

    Oops is right.
    1) Gilberto's name is Simoni, not Simeoni
    2) Gilberto is still in France. He came in 62nd in today's stage, same


    time

    as McEwen.

    3) Simeoni is suing Armstrong for defamation of character, hence he can be
    considered a bitter rival.

    Actually, it semed like a dumb thing for Armstrong to say. He shouldn't have
    butted his nose in. There's no way he could have any knowledge of whether
    Simeoni was telling the truth or not. He wasn't there. My guess is that he
    regrets it and can't back down cause it would look like he is withdrawing
    support for Ferrari.

    He is however, the Simeoni who's suing Lance for defamation. I wouldn't
    say FS and LA are rivals - more like enemies.

    Evidence is only required when bad things are said about Mr. Amrstrong, not
    when he says nasty things about someone else. Probably because he suffered
    from cancer.

    I agree. Lance is showing a lot of poor judgement in his off the bike
    handling of the drug issues. He had no reason at all to butt in to this
    case, I can't think of a better way of saying it. That is the poor attitude
    towards this recent book...as long as they don't lie, let them talk about
    what looks suspicious. [censored], he already has several books with all of the
    denials in them why does he need someone else to pay for his message to go
    out yet again?

    What a dork and a poor sport.

    The Tour would have gained spice had USPS chased today.

    You do realize that Simeoni (yes, this one) has a defamation lawsuit
    pending against Armstrong, right?
