  2. Life is not fair. Teachers look after our most precious and gets paid a pittance. Nurses too Traders and bankers like my self add no value to the total we only shift it to the already wealthy, but we are well paid. Lawyers make money out of others problem and human dishonesty Life will never be fair.
  3. Since it is actually about Lance. He claimed in his semi biggraphical book that " He suffered better than everyone else" There is some studies that draw a distinct coleration between people that have experienced high levels of pain and their subsequent ability to with stand pain. The study was done under war veterans that suffered serious injuries and recovered. Their ability to endure pain was double that of the control group. These people also experienced the hope they felt during their recovery as positive and subsequent pain did triggered the hope emotion when thay fight through it. EPO LAnce was the best cyclist on dope by far. It might have to do with this ability to suffer better than others. For more read Dan Ariely " The upside of irrationality
  4. Check out the bike radar chanell on YouTube with stage previews. I am willing to bet some worn out parts that the winner of stage 19 is the same guy that gets a yellow pullover in parys.
  5. the Sky tactic of not chasing but grinding down attacks reminds strongly of time trialling tactics. Operate at one hair's width below the threshold. Dont go into debt and watch the others burn. Play the game where you are at your strongest

  11. I have this one picture in my mind from the Epic 2012. On one of the steep climbs everyone was running and pushing up the mountain, Everyone except Burry. He was the only one riding. Ride Forever
  12. No. No. No.
  13. EPO: Evening Primrose Oil
  14. I have 10 pieces of metal in my back and it hurts when i am seated in the same position for any length of time. Thus the SS makes it all better as I have to throw the thing around all the time just to get up the drive way. There is no correct gear and no comfortable position. It works for me.
  15. I would just like to apologise to the guy on the green Niner with the Carbon fork for drueling on your bike.

  22. The very cheapskate version. : For a tensioner use the rear deraileur Spacer kit: Ask at the lbs for a few discarded small cogs
  23. Another Leopard spotted folowing cyclist
  24. It is only two halves if they are the same size.
