Tour de France 2008

Fuck, which Tour had everyone ejected before it even started then? Was that the previous year?

i think they should all be allowed to take as many drugs as they can/want. it'd make for better racing, and that's what it's all about, surely?

Perhaps a "William Burroughs memorial jersey" for most egregious use of doping products?

I think they should ALL be made to take drugs. Magic Mushrooms.

I think we should all be given magic mushrooms, also.

I'll remind you. There was a cheating USSRman, a cheating Danishman, a cheating Italianman (with probably several others), and a squeeky voiced bum faced Aussie.

Who was a cheating USSR man?

apart from his looks, why does everyone dislike Cadel? I hear that the Aussie press bitch about him too. Is it cos of way he rides?

yesterday's Tour De France Stage Coverage Was Inspirational For A Number Of Reasons. Firstly, There Was Saunier Duval's Impressive One-two Finish, Proving Once Again That There Is No "i" In "team." (though There Is A "moi" In "chamois.") Secondly, Cadel Evans (whose Collarbones Are Only Intact After Yesterday's Crash Because They Have Both Been Replaced By Titanium) Proved He Is In Fact A Great Stage Racer By Taking The maillot Jaune By One Second. (anybody Can Blast His Way Up A Mountainside In A Distateful Display Of Power, But It Takes A Certain Dignified Restraint To Sidle Up Behind People And Pilfer Seconds The Way Cadel Does, Like An Uninvited Party Guest Nabbing Cocktail Weiners.)

Are you referring to Vinokurov?
He is from Kazakhstan, Borats "home country".

I know, it was a bit of a joke, that's all.

what crap, look at the footage, cadel was the one splitting the pack at the bottom of the last climb to distance himself from kirchen. in fact he put in a couple attacks, now do that after a big crash the previous day. retards.

yup, but he still looks like mr potato head

Yeah well I'm not watching the Tour to find a love match or a feckin' face-cream model even if you Englishman are..

Positive EPO test number 2

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/jul/16/tourdefrance.drugs

Spanish rider Moisés Dueñas Nevado has become the second competitor in this year's Tour de France to test positive for EPO after a drugs test. A French police official admitted that authorities are due to approach the 27-year-old, who currently lies 19th in the race standings, at the Barloworld team hotel.
"We notified Moisés Dueñas Nevado that he had tested positive for EPO after the fourth stage this morning," explained Pierre Bordry, the president of the French anti-doping agency (AFLD).

for the record. i don't mind evans. finishing in the top ten, including second last year, in the last three tours, well, you have to respect him. i like the fact that he is a bit of a loner (and not just cos his team aren't up to handling the high moutains). i don't even care that he looks like Tubbs from the League of Gentleman. it's just that he is so ordinary. there is nothing to excite.

some good photos here.

I heard him being interviewed - he sounds like Dale.

lol BRM - there is that too ;)

Ricco and Cadel have the squeakiest voices. Altitude training or EPO shrunk their balls?
Dunno what Dale's excuse is.

i like the toy look (similar to mr smith had at HH)

altitude training ;)

maybe they ALL have dogs' balls?
