Bye bye Valv.Piti  See you again in 2012 
And you are fan of Fränk Schleck, also from Operation Puerto?
It's not good news for him...
give it a rest for once... plus, looking at his name would indicate that if anything he's a kreuziger fan

I hope UCI will use the brain and spread the ban worldwide.
Btw. if he will be banned, will he lost his Vuelta title and the other ones or not?
Go Roman!

By the time the appeals and what have you have run, the ban will be over, and he'll be free to race again.

It is ridiculous then, he can keep his money won with dope, titles won with dope and after two years he will be clean as baby. Is it still a ban or some kind of holidays?
It reminds me the justice system in Czech Republic...
Go Roman!

Remember how back in January Armstrong switched his calendar around to ride Criterium International instead of Catalunya immediately after Contador announced he was riding Catalunya?
Contador just switched his to ride Crit. Int.
Is Armstrong going to chicken out again?
Contador will also skip Pais Vasco and do Castilla y Léon instead, then the classics.
Contador at the classics. It's going to be interesting to see him suffer at Amstel (if he rides it) and Liége, and very likely win Flèche.
His justification is that he overtrained and his form is too good too early, so he doesn't want to do a race as hard as Pais Vasco

LA is not afraid of Contador. You know why? He knows that he can't beat him. He has said during several interviews that Contador is the best rider in the world. You presume that LA changed his race schedule so as not to race against Contador. Laughable. LA is only concerned about winning one race and that is the TdF. The other races mean little to him. |

You do realize you just contradicted yourself twice in that post?
Also, that is one of my main beefs with Lance. After his return from the cancer, Lance only really gave a damn about the Tour, although also tried at the Dauphine, because it was the lead up to the tour, and also AGR, because he won it earlier in his career, but that is it.

Not really. I said that LA only cares about winning the Tour. He wants to win it but he knows that Contador is the best. Both things can exist at the same time and not be contradicting. Also, the idea of "only caring about winning the Tour" does not mean that he won't try to win other races. There is only one true target for him. The other races are only to gauge his fitness (and in the past to send messages to his rivals). Nothing more, nothing less. |

Oh, I am sorry. I said something that you don't agree with so I must be brainwashed. If you read properly, you will see that I took offense to calling the man a chicken. I disagree that LA is a coward. I disagree that he scheduled around Contadors schedule. I must be brainwashed. |

Brother, you don't have to tell me. I know he won't win it this year or ever. Christina Vandevelde is going to win it this year. Just kidding. No one wants to stage race against Contador. He might win everything he enters. I just don't think LA changed his schedule based upon Contador. LA is slated to ride the Dauphine. If Contador enters, do you think LA will back out? |

Dauphine is the last race before Tdf and all the Gc contenders go , and it's also PT , criterium international is not pt is not important apart from the french and it's a easy route for build-up fitness

Most likely Valverde wins Dauphne, unless they ban him before it

If he does get banned, which I hope he won't, they can't take all his victories away thats ludicrous, thats the UCI's fault for not getting him sooner. He will always be a Grand tour winner if he gets the Vuelta taken off him or not. |
