The expat cyclist Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Remember LA is 42 years old!!!!!! Nee, hy LYK net so oud...
Slowbee Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 I am sure that lance checks the hub every evening to see whether or not his popularity is still up. i tried to explain to dangle as well. Lance does not give a google about what we say or dont say (he has a PR team for that function). But just because he doesnt care doesnt mean we should not talk about him. Fand has a point, some people are blind followers. What I enjoy about some of the posts from "older hubber" who are people who know something about cycling is the insights. Lance has won 7 Tdf's (am I allowed to mention his name ? As I will never be on any start line for any race). Does the 7 wins make him great ? Not to me, because greatness means more than 7 TdF wins. Yes he beat cancer, but so do alot of other people, like a friend of ours who is a single mom. She beat cancer, and has to go back and raise her kids on her own. Now she is great!! So Lance did something today, I say at at last he has does something. I just hope he keeps it up that he can humble himself and help others win (and some may say I am being silly expecting him to be humble - but lets see). And again - I dont think "he who must not be named" gives a crock of soft and smelly - but that should not stop us from talking about him.
Slowbee Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 oh yes - the reason why I like to talk about him with others is you learn a few things about the sport. SwissVans post is interesting. As is the link by Fand about power output and the human body. Its an eye opener as to why power meters are so important in the pro ranks. As an aside - can you fiddle with a power meter to give you readings a % less than what they actually are ?
Wyatt Earp Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 i tried to explain to dangle as well. Lance does not give a google about what we say or dont say (he has a PR team for that function). I think you have the cat by the proverbial hairy balls, read Dangle's threads again and you will realize that you are just a mere echo of what he said.
Slowbee Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I think you have the cat by the proverbial hairy balls, read Dangle's threads again and you will realize that you are just a mere echo of what he said.no man dangle - you taking it out of context, you did say that lance doesnt give a hairy - and I agree - but that should not stop us taking about his exploits and reasons for doing things. Including if he did/did not dope, is/isnt a nice guy, etc etc.
fandacious Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Remember LA is 42 years old!!!!!! nou vat oom daai ou toppie sleg

Including if he did/did not dope, is/isnt a nice guy, etc etc. well actually, i'm not sure about lance not caring. he does care. he cant handle *any* criticism. while i doubt that he personally reads my tweets about his doping etc, i found out in the week that he had blocked me. now why would he block me if he didnt care?
fandacious Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 maybe because...hmmm...you are irritating... do i really irritate the great LA?
Wyatt Earp Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 now why would he block me if he didnt care?You probably became quite irritating, anal for a lack of better words. SlowbeeI agree with you and I also agree that we are free to discuss things as such.I have one small problem though, we are all speculating and we don't have real proof.As I said in this thread.https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/77493-lance-armstrong-brought-to-his-knees-by-unknown-entity/ "I also never claimed to be a huge fan of Armstrong, I am slowly becoming one, I must add.This tour has shown me a true sportsman." As for the seven tour wins, yes I agree it does not make him a great person but as someone who tries to be even just a little bit competitive, I have to say that I have some sort of feel how much effort it would have taken to achieve that (wiff or wiff out drugs) and that to me makes him a great cyclist.
TNT1 Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 well actually, i'm not sure about lance not caring. he does care. he cant handle *any* criticism. while i doubt that he personally reads my tweets about his doping etc, i found out in the week that he had blocked me. now why would he block me if he didnt care?So we gonna see a thread started by fand soon titled: "I'm being sued by Lance"?
fandacious Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 So we gonna see a thread started by fand soon titled: "I'm being sued by Lance"? hehe.. so he does care?
