Speak english man. That sounds like Spanish to me.

Seriously, you feel the need to use your capital voice on me? Do I intimidate you? Or can we carry on like civilized people? Or is this your way of showing me your sportsmanship?

Oh sorry, my apologies. Because Lance did it before, it's cast in stone as a rule that must be obeyed. And god forbid you don't, then you shall be named an outcast, coward and crowned of having bad sportsmanship.

'... there was more wrong from Andy's side. Rubbish team tactics for one. Changing chainring on a steep section like he did. Thats schoolboy stuff.' 'And it's a bike race stuff happens - Saxo get helped by the peloton on stage 2 as it is. Fair enough wait if a fan knocked him off or something. It aint a gents club run.'

Thanks Dude, I'm sooo with you on this one.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Please show me the rule, where it states, that when a rider falls behind, cos he got a puncture, had a bit of a lie down, pee pee or chain comes off, they have to stop? Please, I want to see this. He is not breaking the rules, he is just taking part in a….wait for it….RACE/TOUR. So please, don’t tell me that it’s a gentleman thing to do. It wasn’t Contador’s fault Andy’s chain came off, really, he shouldn’t be paying for it. This is all about tactics and team work. For a change, the tour is actually way more interesting for a non roadie to watch. Now just because it’s not going the way as predicted, and the riders didn’t cross the line holding hands…the poor guys is a coward.

Should he have waited? 'Probably he should, but on the other hand you could ask whether Schleck's yellow jersey chances are hampered by this more than, for example, Thor Hushovd's challenge for Green was by Cancellara's crafty neutralising of stage 2 to benefit the Schlecks. What goes around comes around?'

No more nekkid pictures for you Jackes.

Uuuummmmm, I can't remember.

Thanks Bent. Much appreciated. B)

Ohhhh, is that why the ephedrine didn't work on me...mmmmm.

Ok, we will help you.. as soon as jy change your name. Thanks.

For the record, I'd just like to say... I am the only dirty female cyclist.

Shooosh Mudsy! You are not helping, like always.

Sheesh, thanks for spotting this Bob. (kiss kiss)

What is this? Ok, I know people like me....but trying to be me, well, that is just kinda freaky. Weirdo.

Ahhhh, I'm loving the red handlebar. *sigh

Wow, that is awesome!

Why thank you kind sir.

You first weirdo.

Ok, I'll take pics. But I have to go get it at home, I dont wear it at the office, people will think I am a freak. I only wear it when I am hanging with sports people, you know, to be cool.

Seriously, mine works. I can put my feet behind my head now. Best R490 I've spent.

Sweet...........that's purple.

Most sponsors, do not sponsor the event as a whole. They maybe contribute to it, not always financialy, but with merchandise. Most cases, they will contribute to the rider T-shirts. Other little sub sponsors will contribute with prizes. The event having a sponsor, doesn't mean the entry fee will be cheaper...it most often means that you will get more for what you are paying.

Yes, I totally agree...do a search, every now and again, someone feels the need to complain about this. I agree that some events are out to make money, point is, these are still well attended....and..ag nevermind. Next thing you'll prolly bring up goodie bags again. And then who needs to stop first, the guy going up the single-track, or the guy coming down. yaawn.
