Cos he knows he will get destroyed.

Now doing the Crit Int in Corsica rather than Catalunya.

At least this means I can watch Catalunya without the press dogs and cameras all over Lancey.

And have a look in at the Crit to see Jens smash Lanceho and his Whack Shack oldies.

    What are "Lance Chickens"? Is Bertie racing against them the way Cipo used to race against horses?

    You really are coming across as having a bit of an attraction to Lanceho. Wouldn't you prefer a forum where we talked less about this crap, and more about actual, like, cycling?

    You guys are very short sighted and quite odd. Go and support your lovely Lance. Dress up in Livestrong and cheer him up the climbs.

    The really funny thing cj is that I don't contribute much to the Lance threads anymore - I let the others get into a huff. In fact I rarely even click on them.

    Go and have a look at the Lance threads on the front page - check if I have contributed to them. You will find the answer negative thuis showing your point to be mute.

    Then check my posts to see where else I have contributed. You will notice the latest thread on Sky as one example.

    As you say Lance is crap and I would prefer him not to be involved in cycling, but if he insists I will have fun when I feel like it.

    Yes, I love Lance, just look at all my other postings on him. :roll:

    Face it, you were looking for a response and you got exactly what you wanted, to feel superior to everyone who doesnt share your contador/armstrong obsession.

    +1.

    Dave_1 and I were getting it on on the C+ forum in about 2004 over Lance, so don't give me this 'you're a fanboy' crap.

    What's the point in staying away from LA threads if you then start this one? The worst thing is, there's a quite interesting debate (now moot) to be had regarding how LA might approach this year, given AC's undoubted superiority, but you're not interested are you?

    Look at it this way. You hate Lance with a vengeance. He doesn't know you exist, and if he does is using your postings to motivate himself to ride better.

    There's only one winner here, and it ain't you.

  • Lance bashing is old school, the new school way around these parts is to crucify team sky every opportunity. Something I am sure you can manage FF.

    This isn't news nor is it really that interesting. Let's post more pictures of "Whose legs are these" cause I didn't find that kind of thing slightly weird the first time. 8)

    Face it guys. You love to have at me. It lightens up your day.

    Even though there are many others who almost exclusively post up for and against Lance, whereas I only do occasionally, you don't go after them do you. Anyhow, your little words are just pixels, they have zero effect on me.

    Hey FF, how does Lance ever fit those cloven hooves into cycling shoes?

    Do you think Bertie is slowed by the halo you've bestowed on him?

    I don't like Lance's actions and propaganda, but don't you think the 'chickened out' is a bit pathetic?

    This Whackshack and Lancey stuff you come out with at times makes you come across as a Primary 4 schoolkid.

    Yeah, a real force in the one dayers, but I guess he's just too chicken

    Frenchfighter aren't you just the slightest bit queasy about the way Contador is cuddling up to Vino! Even Armstrong and Bruneel weren't prepared to do that! :twisted:

    Well I don't think he has much choice - Vino is the best and most popular Kaz rider so Astana bosses would have him for sure. At the end of the day he has written into his contract some serious clauses about any positives for any Astana rider.

  • Lance is a chicken! Last time I saw Contador race a chicken, the chicken was winning, then he got plucked over.

    FF is right about Vino, he hasn't much choice has he. In fact he seemed to do all he could to get away.

    You would be surprised if there was much of a clash between LA and AC before July. Surely neither will want to give an inch.

    It's in both their interests to stay clear of each other until the tour. I wouldn't be surprised if it was co-ordinated that way.

    It's not exactly unusual, either. Did LA and Ullrich EVER race against each other outside the Tour?
