is anyone sick of John Lieswin
I like his race reports and read them often, but i think sometimes he
just does not get it. It is hard to feel sorry for him when on paper he has by far the best domestic team in the US. check out the bichfest below. Also the liberal tree hugger bull**** he usually slides in his reports is so gay. I bet he will miss the start of the San Fran GP while he is registering for a marriage license. None the less he has a huge motor and is a good public image guy for cycling On one hand, you can't fault their thinking that taking 2nd at Redlands would be a real coup for the small budget, relatively unheralded Jittery Joe's squad. On the other hand, a strong argument can be made that helping Horner defend the yellow jersey is pointless. Why? Let's say that the 2 to 3 Jittery riders had not assisted Webcor at all. One: Webcor may have cracked 20 or 30km to go and Horner would have to call on his other friends (he has two team Monex guys to bail him out, as we saw in the final 5km before the climb today) sooner. Two: Horner is strong enough that he'd still be able to handle every attack, but at least we'd have an exciting race with lots of attacking and defending. Three: instead of 28 seconds (what the break actually had today at the base of the final climb) the break would have had perhaps 1:28 or even 2:00. Four: Horner would have still caught and passed all breakaway riders (see results). Cesar is showing himself capable of staying either on or very close to Horner. Ergo, without Jittery Joes doing any work to help Horner, Cesar would with very high probability still been in 2nd overall. By forcing Horner to do more work than just dancing up the final climb each day, Cesar would actually have a chance (albeit slim) to win the overall. |

No, but I'm sick of people like you who can't spell or capitalize.

When you learn to race bicycles then you can complain about John's writing. His point is simple - someone who is losing generally isn't supposed to help someone who's winning. That's easy enough to understand isn't it? |

I like it that is why I read it. But I like it because it gives me
insite to a guy who just does not get it. Why would jittery joes work to save 2nd place rather than go for the win??? Because thay cant win the overall, because Horner can ride the whole JJ team off his wheel right now. Actually he is riding the US domestic peleton off his wheel. including Leiswin and co. I just want to read a race report that he writes say Horner is way better than me. Then don't read his journal, you whack job ! |

from JLo
"Single handedly he shattered the field, brought back 1'10 to catch the leaders, then led himself out to take the stage win. Impressive. Nobody else is racing in his league" |
