You may as well say I hate Germany for ing at Schumacher's permanent domination of his sport

Well, maybe next year, the Tour will actually be interesting, as there won't be one clear-cut dominator. I heard Formula 1 became finally interesting now that Schumacher stopped dominating.

Oh man, did that guy have a bad day or what!

So sad it's actually laughable.


Congrats to Lance.

While not the greatest ever ( ), an astonishing athlete none-the-less.

It's sad that he couldn't even hold on to a top five spot. I thought Botero nearly riding into a cafe was really funny

Of course we will; the king of cycling is leaving now. Who wants to watch a bunch of mediocre Europeans race? Don't worry, though. We'll be back when another American comes over to show you how it's done...

That Armstrong is doped to the eyeballs like Shane Warne?

Don't really have a point...

Anyway, Armstrong may indeed be doped up, but we don't really know as he's been smart enough to avoid getting caught, unlike Warne.

Are you saying that cricket, like golf, is not a real sport and cricketers, like golfers, are not real athletes?

So what ?? It doesn't follow at all that what happened to one rider will happen to another.

Besides wasn't Voeklers lead a result of a long break that no one chased? A situation where he got a huge lead but then lost time on almost every stage after that ??
