Dude, it's not like you didn't used to believe all that [censored]. "Oh, Lance has such a big Vo2max," or, "He just tries harder," or, "Oh, he's just got a higher pedaling cadence... that's why he's better than everyone else."

LOL, so you are the pivot man? :p

Maybe we ought to look at this differently. Armstrong was the BEST doper. :p

Look, I know you want to come over here and call everyone a pivot man. [censored], I don't blame you. The thumpings you took over your half-ass thinking processes relating to Armstrong and doping are storied on this board.

So go ahead. Call everyone here a pivot man, but it doesn't change the fact that for years -- what, about seven? -- you bought into the Armstrong PR campaign and regurgitated it all over this forum with the zeal of an Appalachian snake handling minister.

🙄 Dude, enough people have bit the dust when they run out of arguments and start using personal attacks. Do you want to be the next casualty?

LMFAO, classic. Personal attacks??? You havent seen [censored]. You've only been here 2 months. Wait until the season gets going.

I have seen enough. I have been watching the forum for much longer than 2 months.

Good, then nothing should surprise you. Want to be a Moderator? 😉

No thanks! Part of the fun here is that there is very little moderation as opposed to other forums where fights are usually nipped in the bud. 😉

I agree, until bias starts appearing.

Aaaannnnddd back to the topic. Slipstream just barely got beat by Quickstep at ToQ in the team time trial. Things are looking good for a Tour bid (that French tour).

Unfortunately we cannot tell much from the result. They had Millar but no Z-Man and no Tommy D. With those two they would have won for sure. The competition does appear to be all that great for that TTT.

California is where we begin to see how well they are going. I won't be too surprised at an overall win by TD.

If they get a Paris-Nice invite I think TD may contend for the overall there. We would be able to compare him with Contadope and Sanchez. Several riders have announced P-N as an objective. Slipstream would be very motivated to perform well there.
