is he not wearing the WC colours on his jersey's collar any more? I recall seeing that at the team introduction...

It's really just mud.

Owned the other 'weak' ?

I think yes... he dropped out of Paris Nice after 3 stages since the conditions were ass for training, and it was ridiculously cold and he got sick. Yes, Kelshara, there's a huge chink in his armor, I'm sure that's an indication of things to come.

Oh how I love poking fun at you over Lance. It is soooo easy!

No, no... I'm sure you're right. Clearly that's a sign. This is probably not his year. I'm sure he'll lose horribly, and fade into obscurity. Perhaps he'll crash and hurt himself badly, or perhaps he'll get caught doping. Only time will tell.

Boy, touchy are we? You do realize the only reason I said it was to get your panties in a bunch, right? Sure worked! Quite predictable, exactly the replies I expected.

Hint: I didn't even watch the Paris Nice, I only happened to hear it by pure luck. And yes I misspelled "week", not that I really care heh.

My panties aren't in a bunch... I'm just agreeing with you. You're right. Lance is a bad man.

Finally! About time you got around to it! Now burn him like Bonds! BURN!

Doesn't appear to be.

They are however, built into his shoes.

I think the idea is that agreeing with you, or ignoring you altogether is the only way to get you to shut the fuck up about stuff you are hard line opinionated about.

Then again...that's just how I deal with you.

Once again, you do realize that I joked right? Both in my original post and that last one?

I have no opinion on this whatsoever except that I find it amusing to tease Noel.

Bet if Thor Hushovd was in contention for the maillot jaune you'd have an opinion...

Kind of a funny side note. I was in Denver a few weeks ago for a conference for engineers at my company. About 50% of the attendees were Euros, and nearly all of them were convinced that every single cyclist in the peloton was a doper, and that what they do in the races is impossible without doping. It kind of caught me off guard that each of them seemed to be convinced of this, and seemed to have accepted it as fact.

I personally believe a bunch of them are juiced. But in cycling, like in all other top sports, the hunters are always a step behind and in particular when there are LOTS of money involved. And yeah, I do think more people in Europe believe athletes are doped than here.

Not really I don't even particularly like him

He has come across as an idiot in a few interviews. I like his riding style and competitiveness though, same reason I like several other riders as well.
