again wth the sig talk...Lance Armstrong, the dudes a machine
old machines lose compression and have sagging rearends

He's got three titles under his belt after combatting cancer, the dude is a champ in my books and I still root for him every year

again wth the sig talk...

Feeling jealous Raz :evillol: We can come up with one for you if you wish. :lol:

Not jealous, just feeling a little left out because someone has yet to explain to me what the hell that is!!!

Taxi Cab Confessions, he was caught on tape saying it. :evillol:

Seriously, just joking with the dude. He said something to that effect and it just came out wrong. So it was captured for ever. :lol:

I agree lance is one hell of a machine even at his age.

Never mind! Found the link to this statement







Oh God, RSX, thats just wrong, Gloria will kill yuo after hearing this!

Armstrong will win again, but there are some more big names this year that weren't in the Tour last year... so we'll see!

just fyi: sunday will rock, 60+ mile roadride, then watch the tour, then go to fireworks! :D




edit: and guys, take it to PM

Sunday is also Euro Cup Finals!!!!

actually he has five. right? goin for six. Seems to me lance is not the same person he was when he started, winning changes you. I'm a little tired of all of the focus being on him when his team is the whole reason he won. there are alot of guys who could win, but they have to sacrifice the win for good ol' lance. I still think he is a great cyclist, but I think he is a bit of a sellout (retarted apearances in subaru commercials), and I hope a different American will beat him down this year.

i'm wondering if lance will retire if he wins this year, hand the spotlight to someone else...

i mean, his name is gonna end up on a branch of trek bikes, so he doesn't have to worry about making a living. but the record is 5, he'll be the first person to win 6 TDF's if he wins this year.

Yep. Armstrong has five, he is currently tied for the record and is going for his sixth.

anybody gonna name their top three picks?

I say...
1 Lance Armstrong
2 Tyler Hamilton
3 Iban Mayo

I say...
1 Lance Armstrong
2 Tyler Hamilton
3 Iban Mayo
I have doubts about hamiltons ability to perform under the weight of the yellow jersey (have you seen his arms?) but I think that this list is very possibly the way its gonna end up. My question to you is- What about Jan?

Lance Armstrong will win again this year!!!

I'm more interested to see how many drag cheats they can find !!

Lance...

It takes real balls to race like that. errr. I mean... aw fuck it.

1. lance armstrong
2. who gives a damn
3. who gives a damn

My question to you is- What about Jan?

Might be an upset, but I still think it will be Lance. If anything, Jan could come in to 3rd place.

Lance...

It takes real balls to race like that. errr. I mean... aw fuck it.
:lol: Thats not right, but still funny.

Lance will take his 6th consecutive.

I don't know enough about cycling to make any predictions, but I'm hoping Armstrong can nab number six.

It is still looking good, Mayo has fallen back in todays stage. he needs to be careful or he won't be able to catch lance in the mountains unless he cracks. oh yeah, Robbie(yellow) is the man. I love the tour, it gets me back on the bike long enough to lose a few pounds
