Tour de France 2010

Fucking farce.

TDF isn't the biggest thing in cycling, it's on a par with a 6-day event: bit of showmanship, bit of entertainment, but a complete fix.

Vinokourov deserves no praise, he shouldn't even be on a bike any more. How hypocritical can this be? people praising him need to have a fucking word with themselves.

Fuck you. Vino's great entertainment. That's what professional sport boils down to. Watching him hold off the charge of the peloton in Paris a few years ago was exciting, and so are his mental attacks in the mountains, particularly those against his own team-mates. He may have been as doped as Armstrong et al (and I do mean 'al'), but he was a welcome antidote to the tedium of much of the Lance era.
