That wasn't a pop. That was a VZZZZzzzzzzzz....... (the sound a balloon or
tire makes as it's slowly losing air).

Play it backward and you get Levi.

It was never on actually. Hasn't been since 2005 in truth. I don't
know which is sadder, has-beens who think they can still do it or the
eejits who encourage them. What I find incredible is how he got
people to sponsor him knowing he has about as much chance of a podium
finish this year as... well, as I have. It makes good headlines
though - "Lance Still Crap - Official" and "Old Bloke Rides Slowly Up
Hill On Bicycle". You read them here first but you'll read them in
tomorrow's paper.

While I am totally convinced that you would have bounced back from
however many crashes and gone on to win the stage an hour ahead of the
second place finisher, not everyone is you. Cut him some slack.

BTW, I was more impressed with Uruguay's loss than with Germany's win.
Extrapolate from there about your winning is the only thing thing.

This is ridiculous, Lance still had significant PR prominence during
his retirement. Sure Lance value advertisers will fade over time sure
has other champions has over time.

I respect Lance and all of the 190+ guys who had the guts to show up
on the start line at this year's TdF. Only one guy can win the race.
By your ridiculous standards, everyone else shouldn't even have shown
up on the line. You did get one thing right - your chances of a podium
finish, in any event, are zero, because you haven't the slightest idea
of what competition is about.

Oh, and I doubt very seriously that Radio Shack is sorry to have
sponsored Lance. Add advertising to the list of subjects you don't
understand.
