    Given that he's supposed to be doubled-up with gut rot, seems odd he hasn't twatted about it yet?

    chickenesque prep... I suppose he is an old bugger and needs to really fine tune it

    Given his sterling recent performance at the Cape Argus (top 10, no less), I understand he's focussing on the prestigious Tour of Solvang Wine Country Stage Race. Yee-Ha...........tear that road up Sideways MJ!!!

    I honestly didn't know he was doing MSR until he dropped out.

    Clearly he's not been in the media enough.

    Yet, he's due on the radio in half an hour.

    Don't know about gastroenteritis, more a case of criterium internationalitis, I suspect.

    Still, he was supposed to have a jippy tummy, during the last week of the Tour. That's how he explained his blood values heading in the wrong direction.
    Climbed a lot better with diarreha, than without. :roll:

    It wasn't so much diarrhoea that supposedly explained why his haemocrit was higher during the Tour than the previous 12 months, but the chronic dehydration that can result from this. Given this I am surprised that the value of racing when chronically dehydrated has not been recognised before. Of course, this dehydration still wouldn't explain why his reticulocyte count during the Tour was lower for the previous 12 months as well...

    Pity that the new 'open' Armstrong is now keeping all his blood parameters secret.

    Yeah, he certainly was chronically dehydrated at the 2003 Tour and look how well he went there. :oops:

    Makes a change - the cr@p usually comes out of the other end.
