semantics, but ja sure agree to disagree :thumbup: . i don't require him to commit himself to be an African first and something else second to identify with him and support him - but thats just me.

 

so..... i was born to an irish parent here in South Africa. I hold two citizenships..but I am African. Same thing really...but I only really fell in love with Africa when i was about 30.....Practically it makes sense for him to race as a brit as opposed to a kenyan.

Who are your biggest dissapointments in this years tour?

 

Mine:

Matt Goss (been absolutely nowhere)

Tommy Voeckler (although I'm not a fan anyway :whistling: )

Tejay van Garderen (this was his year to really show himself)

Igor Anton (are French climbs that different to Spanish climbs)

Andy Schleck (although the dissapointment here, is probably more at myself for still putting him in my Fantasy team :blush: )

No the issue was a careless dangerous move by El Berto in front on him on a bad road - that is why he was miffed, every right to be, Nothing compared to that spoilt brat behavior Cav he become known for you will agree. The pressure must also be getting to Chris, especially with all these demeaning and incessant doping allegations.

 

Go Chris!

 

Haters will hate, web experts will accuse but the Dawg will win anyway.

He is the best rider there and attacks even when he doesn't need to.

 

Go Chris!

I must agree here. He has made it interesting by attacking even though he could have just played it safe. He can react on everything they throw his way and I am sure he will put the final nail in coffin up Huez just because he can

 

Go Chris

Ja, Teejay and Pinot. Both were top 10 last yr and young so should have stepped it up this year.

PS Go Chris! :clap:

Haha, he probably should have made it more obvious that he was pointing to his sponsor and the blue stuff by the same name...

Hope the weather does not interfere with the riders, with these descents any rain will result in some slower times...
