    BTW, they're reporting that Radio Shack will be the announced sponsor of Lance's new team. I don't know if they have it in the UK or not, but it's an electronics/computer store. They originally started as a do-it-yourself electronics store but now they just sell phones/mobile phones, computers, tvs, etc.

    Was Tandy in the UK.

    Why Tandy? What does that mean?

    "The Lance Armstrong feature length film is currently in production with Sony Pictures and the Kennedy/Marshall Company, and will illustrate Lance's heroic battle with cancer and remarkable comeback to professional cycling."

    OMG...

    Wiggins form is amazing. So controlled and tight. I wish I rode like that.

    Are the Schlecks doing a two man TT?

    They might hold onto their podium places then,

    VERY cool image there of the Schleck brothers. Frank standing right next to Andy with his hand on Andy's back as though he's transferring all his energy to him.

    Lance's form looks MUCH better than it did in Monaco.

    Stella too. The proper Belgian one, not the muck brewed in the UK under license.

    French telly said that too. He knows who pays the bills.

    It would appear, judging by the TV pictures, that LA is the only rider on the course.

    WOW, what a difference when looking at Frank's form. He looks a little awkward there and is sitting way too high up. Why doesn't he work on it more? If he improved his TT, he'd be incredible.

    What, for Armstrong? I thought that he has claimed that 'The French' hated him and that he feared for his life when racing in France. :roll:

    Is sitting that far forward on your seat not agony?

    My eyes are watering just watching Wiggins.

    No the energy was transferred into his arm by the team doctor hours ago...
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    LOL, he also said that if he wasn't winning and instead helped a teammate, that would make the French love him.
  • I think the Schleck brothers should be made to do the TT on a Tandem.....

    There you go a new discipline, TTTT (Team Tandem Time Trial)

    mmmm....Phil and Paul are doing their usual fawning of Armstrong you could be forgiven he was the race leader. Its the same old stuff incessantly re-hashed from yesterday, the day before that, the day before that.......
