Tour de France 2008

world class mullets are not 'debatable'..
legendary!!

you out and about tomorrow hippola?

I'm trying to clear away this head cold. Might do a club run now that I have the SWorks back or I might just do fuck all and be miserable all day.

might be up for a leisurely wander over to your neck of the woods - I'll text thee on the morrow

My neck of the woods? You mean the off license or the Chilterns?

ealing, sexual ealing…

Hippy, didn't know you'd taken a couple of days off work to support the potato-faced whinger

Evans is the Henman of cycling.

look at him. look at his silly beady eyes.

erk

Cadel, I am your father..

Damn, separated at birth!

There is no way Hippy got that skinny, everyone knows he is a fat cunt

Then how come Millar won Gold for Malta in the Small States of Europe Games held in San Marino in 2001?

Could he be a Malteser?

Cool, hes a Malteser too. I like him even more now as I am half Maltese

Have we even met? If not, shut the fuck up.
If we have, shut the fuck up anyway, coz I don't know you well enough to let insults slide.
I might take it personally and be forced to send a swarm of killer bees after you and your family.

Fuck pink shirts.

So is anyone watching the last stage in a pub/poncy sports bar anywhere?

I'm at home and the ads are pissing me off!

You ignorant cock. You don't think Cadel doesn't bust a gut to ride at this level. Go the fuck back to hipsterville and leave pro cycling for people who understand it a little.
Robert Millar is Scottish. How many English riders have won the Tour?

Same number as the Aussies, The Welsh, The Northern Irish, Kiwi's and the Canadians. None. Maybe its something about being owned by the English. You should get out while you can. We used to own Ireland too and they've got a tour winner to their name.

I'm only messing btw.

Given that the English live next door to France I can't understand why so few riders here are racing at a pro level?

Because the department of transport or Police or something don't allow us to close off roads for road races (bar a few exceptions) - something like that anyway. Continental Europe on the whole is far more accomodating of Road Riding.

Evans is the Henman of cycling.

David Millar is so much more like Henman.

Great tour.

i just got home from Paris, after watching the last stage of the Tour from on the barriers about 150m after the finish. Brilliant. We even got interviewed by the Aussie ABC TV crew.

You cunts are far too harsh on Cadel. He didn't crack in the time trial, he was fucked from chasing CSC up mountains for three weeks with no support! to put it in perspective, he was only 28 seconds slower than Britain's favourite confessed-doper-cum-time-trial-specialist-hero David Millar, and i didn't see Millar fighting off three-sided attacks on Alpe d'Huez, he was cruising along avoiding getting eliminated and saving his legs. Cadel didn't crack and lose the tour, he was beaten by one of the most dominant team performances i've seen for years... and there is no shame in coming second in le Tour.

Fuck this unwarranted criticism of a guy who pushed himself to the limit day after day, and lost by less than a minute for the second year running, both times to guys riding in vastly superior teams. You may not like his voice, and he's not the most media-friendly character, but he is a fucking good cyclist.

tim, no need for such serious analysis of the tour. havent you noticed? this thread spiralled down to OK magazine standards. all the talks had been about how cyclists look, who's ugly, good looking, who's annoying and who's the whinger. for a while there i got the tour and big brother mixed up. anyway, i give up. so who do you think will win big brother? im sure cadel will get booed when he gets voted out

the australians taking defeat with their usual grace there ;)

I add: the media invented the tour, they own it. If you go into apoplexy every time you get within 10 feet of a camera, then maybe it's not for you, Cadel.

perhaps Crufts would be a better event?

I had a little stroll down to Concorde yesterday it was a nice afternoon

We don't lose as often as the English so you'd see why we're more than a little concerned :P

As for the Tour not being for Cadel. I'm sorry but you don't finish 2nd in the biggest race of the year, two years running and think "It's not for me". Well, maybe that's what the English do but clearly the Spaniards and Aussies are made of tougher stuff.
