Lance

I think a Lance thread about his mis-adventures with the Olson Twins,
and all the rest of that Hollywood trash he's associated with, would
generate more posts than this Tour de France has so far.

No real surprises that would generate conversation. Ricco can climb. We
knew that. Cavendish can sprint. We knew that. Evans can suck a wheel
like nobody's business. We knew that. Schumacher and Vande Velde have
been a bit surprising, but not earth-shatteringly so.

Honestly, I don't know why people pay attention to whoever LANCE is
boinking, but then, I don't understand why anybody cares about
Brangelina's new twins or anything that comes out of Lemond's mouth,
either.

I'm just glad the Tour has hit the mountains.

And also ban him from the Tour, as Prudhomme said, a champion's
behavior must be irreproachable and should not be a stain on the
reputation of the Tour de France.

That'd be a good one. A Tour with no past champions, or riders.
What if they gave a Tour and noone came?

I guess that's why Sarkozy hasn't been invited.

Are you kidding, Sarko's visit last year was the first time a
President ever followed a Tour. He claims his great love and interest
in the race since first following closely in 1969 when it was between
Janssen and van Springel in the last stage. No, I did not make any
mistake, I am paraphrasing accurately what he stated last year!!! He's
busy now with the Mediterranean summit. Who knows maybe during his
presidency, Carla Bruni will follow the Tour just like Yvette Horner,
I can imagine having her own vehicle in the shape of a guitar.

We could show up and have a shot at winning it. :-)

Luckily she doesn't look like LANCE's mom.

So in the popular rbr virtual universe Anquetil should be stripped of
at least some of his victories.
