  1. Trainers, Le Grande Boucle, "criteriums" (whatever the hell *those* are.), the world cup. Is there
    really a world of cycling outside of the TdF, Dauphine, and other races the god of cycling, Lance
    Armstrong, does?

  2. For Trinitarians, the current Godhead might well be

    1. Johan Musseuw
    2. Paolo Bettini
    3. Tyler Hamilton

    But what about Lance the tifosi cry. Lance is really the Anti-Christ.

    Yes. See Masters Fattie Racing. Or better yet, ask Henry about it.

    You really should save that troll for July, the Month of the Newbie.

    Among the elite riders, Paolo Bettini has the best sounding and most fitting name for a
    professional.

    He could only be a bike rider or a shoe designer with that name.

    The UCI ranking just out have him as number one. Also, there's a chance that Tyler will end the
    season higher than Armstrong in-as-much-as Armstrong's season is pretty much over.

    Justice would/will be served.

    Yes. Lance is good - indeed he's quite brilliant but divinty he isn't ;-)

    If the Midi Libre hadn't been cancelled it could be, like last year, an interesting sum. Though that
    sidesteps the issues of his health and such.

    Yes, Il Grillo (the cricket) you can't be a pro without a nickname.

    Or photographer. In the current VN there's a 2p photo Specialized ad of Cipo taken by
    Roberto Bettini.

  11. The sad part of LA shutting it down after the TdF is that is still a very good one day racer.

    He's doing a job, or "fulfilling professional obligations". Smart too, because if the wheels
    had fallen off the wagon this year he'd be "nowhere". Remember the failure of Miguel "Only
    Five" Indurain?

    Isn't it one more year for Postal? Maybe then things will change. --Tom Paterson

  13. Good point. Indurain probably could of been a dominate 1 day racer himself if he continued his
    career after his tour humiliation. We went on to win the Olympic TT gold. "Tom Paterson"

    Hamilton might have put himself into the "Tour Legend" category this year (implying widespread
    approval) but at the same time he had his critics. Amazing, isn't it? Overcoming physical
    difficulties in at least somewhat heroic fashon, and being disparaged for it?

    Maybe much of the peloton disapprove of the "heroics" because they don't like the precedent. Does it
    mean DS's expect them to continue with broken bones too? I'm sure they don't see any sense in it.

    I could ask for some hard numbers on "much", for starters. That's OK, Tyler had a great ride this
    year minus the broken "clavicule".

    Fourth on GC in the TdF, with a notable solo stage win, and a strong final TT in bad conditions--
    that's putting it on the wall. Served notice for '04, too.

    IMHO "heroics" isn't a stretch given the obvious sporting context. --Tom Paterson

    The quotes stand, because there were no heroics, he wasn't saving anyone's life.
