LA calls in sick, let the excuses begin...

Let the excuses begin, for the fanboys with a flaky memory :

- "break was rubbing" (after being trashed by Ulle in the 2003 ITT)
- I lost 10 pounds (after being trashed by Ulle in the 2003 ITT)
- he didn't wait for me (after Ulle waited for him on the way up to
Luz in 2003)

Do I see a pattern here ?

Coming up in 2010 :
- "Poppo forgot to light it up"
- "Leppy is too small"
- "Kloden is Ulle's friend"
- "Alberto lives in a small village"
- "Johann forgot to wake me up"
- "Sheryl wrote a song about me"
- endless possibilities, acres of fun

Dumbass -

You seem to be new here.

Some background info: we've had some real weirdo LANCE haters (who for some
reason post a lot more than the LANCE fanboys) in this group during the last
decade. Most people here have a reasonably objective view of the guy
regarding doping, his personality, all that stuff. Most of the people here
are also sick of hearing about bike racing through a LANCE prism, whether
that prism is positive or negative.

The LANCE whackos are similar to people who view the world through an
abortion prism or a religion prism. We don't want to hear about shit that
way. It's soooooo old.

Go ahead and post about bike racing through a LANCE prism. It's an
unmoderated forum and you can do whatever you want. But if you do that
you'll be liked about as much as Keith, Lafferty and all their fellow
obsessive compulsives.

Milan-San Remo isn't about LANCE.

thanks,

Fred. presented by Gringioni.

Henry, bro, I hear what you're saying, and I will strive to embrace
the spirit of your comments. I'm actually quite glad LANCE won't be
in MSR -- it means that this year there won't be a LANCE cam keeping
tabs on him as he sits in the field, drinks from a bidon, or begins
slipping backwards on the Poggio.

Dunno. I can tell you what I sounded like when I found my ulcer with
Old Grandad 114 bourbon. Is that close enough?

And they talk about how Julie Andrews used to have a great range. I
hit all those notes and in one breath, one sound. Several times.

Hope that you heal it up. Lay off of the hard stuff and only drink lightly
of beer and wine for awhile.

Presumably rubbing means the break wasn't co-operating instead of a
lemon club connotation.

When Dave Bailey posted his classic on attending an EDS
Cup event in Plano he attached a wav file to it. That's
why only the followups are available.

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.racing/msg/1567e3494894ea5a

I wish I had saved the file. I remember it being very
similar to that one.

It's always nice to have you around the group Ilan. The silliness from those
who want to post with nothing to say gets quite boring.

If you were a bot you could have stolen time on a Cray and got your
nonsense crafted in nano-seconds.Thats what the rest of us do.

Lance isn't a sprinter, dumbass.  He doesn't need an excuse to not race a fucking 170 mile crit.

This is because we lack what passes for nonsense in major sports, over
documented statistics. The worst aspect of this is the grand
announcement that 'this, whatever it may be, is the first time this
team has done this since 2008'. Jesus. The Baylor win really
qualifies, but hearing how some pro team has just done something for
the first time since they took out the garbage early this morning is
enough for me to want some sports announcers turned inside out and
mounted on stakes around all the major cities and sports complexes.

Which will be the first time that we've seen this since Vlad lost at
paper, stone, scissors with some Turkish diplomats...

I'm starting to like P and P's general, genial reliance on Paul's
memory and Phil's vague recollections. They kind of know what happened
before 2000 and then and after. Close enough for me.

Damn, for a moment there it sounded like you sort of understand bike
racing a bit. Did you think that up yourself? Who told you to write
that?

Thanks for the message, I didn't realize that Crays still existed. I
assumed that your basic PC was basically as fast as a supercomputer
these days. I guess they reserve these superfast machines for the
problems where no one has figured out any good ideas.
