Voeckler the Pretender

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...an07/jan02news

Here's a guy who thinks he's done something in the sport by wearing a
yellow jersey knowing full well he would never keep it and not even
crack the top 20. Same with that jackass Bertogliatta or whatever the
**** his name is. These riders are all one trick ponies like Debbie
Gibson singing in a mall.

This whole idea of celebrating interim leaders before a race is finished
is stupid and really needs to stop. It's an embarrassment to the sport.

What Voeckler did is the equivalent of a talented miler leading the New
York City marathon for the first 2 miles and then getting dropped...and
doing that knowing he would get dropped and finishing 30 minutes down.
And then he tries to tell everyone how great a performance that was in
the marathon just because he was "leading" it.

Since the Tour Voeckler won nothing but some trivial French nonsense.
And he's the lead story in cyclingnews just because he wore the yellow
jersey for a couple of days when the real race leaders could care less.
What an embarassment to Hinault's legacy and the sport of cycling in
general.

Wearing the yellow jersey with absolutely no chance of winning the
overall GC is pathetic, meaningless, and stupid.
