Tour de France 2010

I think there was less expectation for Chav so he could just enjoy it, whereas the weight on Cav's shoulders made him so emotional!

good point (Though Chav was pretty cool after winning stage 2).

Amazing how quickly EPO allows him to recover for the interview just a couple of minutes after he finished

ftfy :)

yeah a fresh pack of blood'll do that for ya!

im sure andyp will now correct me about how drug free he is, but frankly i dont believe any of them are clean.

I prefer to assume they are all doping or all not doping. Either way, level field

Depends on how pessimistic I am on that particular day

.

so some pigs blood will help to recover after the dunwich dynamo

Bit different though. Chav had already done something this Tour.

Cav is better than Chav

At what? Cross-stitch?

yep me too, i dont mind either way if the racing is as good as it has been so far!

At what? Cross-stitch?

At everything.

Errr, that's not Chav.

Nor Cav

I think Pifko must be watching football or something and has just stumbled into the wrong thread.

spot the ball!

Sorry, the pic wasn't related to Cav or Chav at all. Maybe I should have posted it separately.

Cav is awesome though.

yes brilliant ride by chavanel... and calm and cool at the interview... no blubbing by the man (unlike cavs baby blubbing)

Hayfever/something in his eye.

Fucking ITV is an advert every 5 mins between coverage blerrrrrrrrr!

terrible, more ads than coverage, I now watch France 2 on satellite, hardly any ads.

I hope you move from this erroneous position before you embark on a career in medicine. ;-)

It's well known that different people respond differently to the same drug.

Which shows you what a mess the sport is in.

FWIW, the biological passport has made it much more difficult to dope and get away with it so a lot of the field are probably clean now. But it's naive to think the sport will ever be drug free, the history of the Tour is riddled with episodes of cheating and drug usage.

There has always been cheating since the introduction of the Tour De France, back at the turn of the Century, there's cheating that go as far as hitching a ride in a car, even taking the train, fan kicking and beating up a rival in order for their competitor to win (partly because it was ridden at night).

drug is just another aspect of cheating.

There is no proof at all that Armstrong won his first tour by hiding inside the boot of Dr Ferrari's Ferrari and being whisked to the finishing line.
For God's sake the man cured cancer! Cancer!

Well fuck my old boots, I'm glad that's all out in the open, there's always been cheating. Thank God and pity the souls of the wretched.

They are only cheating themselves.

Smiley winky face

Although the FBI think they may have defrauded a Federal agency. Now that there are real police on the case, it's going to get fun.

WTF has Thomas Voeckler got around his neck? Looks like an explosive neck collar straight from The Running Man.
