2010 looks like it's going to be even worse for Armstrong
I know it's early in the season but all the GC contenders are already
doing better than LA, that can't bode well for the TdF, might be even more painful to watch than Merckx's 1977 last TdF... |

You're concerned for the TdF because so many of the contenders will have flamed out before the big event? I'd be more concerned with the state of the economy than how the ASO is going to deal with Lance having it too easy. Besides, I don't think it will happen. Some of the guys will be holding something back. Nice to hear of your concern though. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

That's what Bruyneel has been spinning but there is no evidence of that so far, in fact it looks like he's doing worse than last year. Losing 30 seconds to Wiggins and Kloden on a 22km TT who are also focusing on being ready for the TdF is rather worrying. |

Losing 30 seconds to Wiggins and Kloden on a 22km TT who are also focusing on being ready for the TdF is rather worrying. Dude, Several years ago there was a July Person in rbr who spent a lot of effort trying to predict the Tour podium from the prologue results. (Norm Tuttle, IIRC.) But at least he was talking about the goddamned Tour prologue. You're predicting Tour results from the prologue of Paris-****ing-Nice. It's March, for god's sake. Predicting that LANCE will not win the Tour is a good prediction in any year. He's a year older, he isn't the best in the race, and crucially, predicting that any given rider will not win a particular mass start race is _always_ a good prediction. Even overwhelming favorites generally have less than 50-50 odds, and LANCE isn't an overwhelming favorite. Plus, did I mention that it's March? Anything could happen. A meteorite could strike Contador and Kloden simultaneously. Wiggins could be distracted by the sight of Anorexic Drew Carey wearing an argyle sweater and ride off the road. At this time last year, LANCE had yet to break his collarbone and recover. So if you want to make a drama out of LA sucking in his first race, go ahead, but seriously even a hack sportswriter would be hard pressed to get a column's worth of concerned analysis out of this.

Who cares about the Tour in March FFS?! There are *real* races to come before the media-hyped lamentably uncontested summer club runs. Watch the Spring classics and forget about the Tour - it's for corporations not bike fans and as for Armstrong, well, hoozee? UD |
