Contador press conference Fri

wrote: P.S. And I just test rode one of the '08 Madones yesterday, from Mike Jacoubowsky's shop, which did a fantastic job taking time to fit me up, even if it was just a test ride. Even though I'm not a big Ultegra fan (chunk-chunk; even my old 9-speed Dura-Ace, certainly my newer SRAM Rival, has a better shifting feel, to me), the bike was certainly stable, and felt good during the ride, which included some steep climbs, a semi-rough descent, and some sprints (FWIW, as I don't have much of a sprint). But I'm afraid if the MJ is taken away from Disco, the bike will lose its luster . I have a Madone from last year. It was a team bike and we all received our bikes at same time. They're identical except for the "7 time Tour de France winner" decal. Mine only goes to "6". I take this as a sign that Lance is going to lose one of his. The only question is which one? Bret |

The only question is which one? Not a problem if he loses one, or even two. He can make them up with his two "virtual" wins he has yet to claim. It's right there in the RBR rules. In the post-LeMond era, you're allowed to make reasonable claims for up to three. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

Did Trek change the "X time Tour de France winner" decal with each model year, as soon as results were posted (plus the 15 minute protest period), or somewhere in between? Bret |

Also, Contador has a disturbingly luminescent crotch in that podium picture. Ben That boy is irradiated. Do they test for plutonium? S. what's gonna say? ima sorry we forgive you we are innocent we want to compete but you won't let us but we support cycling in germany for the german people who bombed spainish civilians for no reason in 1938 and we'll be back next year and kickass....stupid krauts just basic bs after all it can't get more complex hehehehhe |

de France winner" decal with each model year, as soon as results were posted (plus the 15 minute protest period), or somewhere in between? I wish. Trek was *way* behind in getting new decals made, such that it wasn't until halfway through the new model year that we saw bikes with "7" instead of "6"- over half a year after Lance had won his last TdF. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA "Bret" wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks. It's nice to know it might actually be an '06. No matter, I like it either way. Bret |
