Lance Armstrong

Out of retirement, Armstrong eyes 8th Tour de France win - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/09/armstrong.returns/index.html?eref=onion)
:doh:

I hate Lance.

[mippus]

Lance is ok, but I really don't get this...

[Jack Flak]

I don't like Lance because of his attitude, and being an Ullrich fan was disappointed to see Armstrong always knock him into 2nd place. And he's back! Yay!

[Lateralus]

I think Neil Armstrong should come out of retirement, too.

[FDG]

I hate him too. I hope Contador will smash him. I've actually raced once with Contador (not in the same team of course), at an itnernational race, when he wasn't a pro. He's incredible.

[nonsequitur]

I don't like him. Does anyone know which team Armstrong will join?

I'm hoping that Cadel Evans will win next year's tour, but the rest of the Silence-Lotto team is so crap on the tour, I doubt it'll happen. CSC was just unbelievable this year.

[EffEmDoubleyou]

As long as it still says "USA" under his name, I still want him to win. I just worry about him tarnishing his legacy if he comes back and doesn't win.

Cadel Evans should really learn that you have to attack at least once - either in the climbs or in the crono - to win. With the comeback of Contador, I fear he doesn't have many chances.

[Jack Flak]

I believe Armstrong signed with a team already, but I don't remember which one. You'll have to look it up, as I don't want to see the guy's face right now.

Cadel's definitely the most consistent rider. If he had a better team, he'd have more opportunities to attack. Just looking at the way that mountain stages played out - particularly on Alpe d'Huez - it's obvious that he wouldn't have had that 2min-plus deficit heading into the final time-trial if his team was stronger. He was completely isolated for most of those stages.

On the other hand, Sastre had Frank Schleck, Andy Schleck, Jens Voigt etc. who were immense for him. That teamwork was what won Sastre the tour, not pure ability alone. Similarly, Contador had a really strong team with team Discovery when he won it in 2007. I will, however, admit that Contador is muuuuuch hotter than Cadel. ;)

That's why I'm curious about which team Armstrong will join. Wiki didn't say anything about it.

Edit: Oh, he's joining Astana. That'll be interesting.

[Jack Flak]

Oh, it was Acuna Boys Mexican restaurant, that's right. (No, it wasn't.)

[FDG]

Contador just won the Vuelta, too. Lance doesn't stand a chance against him. I will enjoy seeing him rattling with aching legs while Contador crushes him on a climb.

[Jack Flak]

I give Lance credit where it's due. He is a mean machine, even though I rally against him.

Anyone with one nut whose had brain, abdomen, testicular, and lung cancer and has won the Tour de France 7 times is allowed to be as cocky as they want.

If I was Lance Armstrong I'd think I was the shit and would probably have come out with a hip-hop music video by now.

Yeah, right, he had cancer and then he was allowed to use testosterone as a replacement for his lost ball. Which, of course, was another advantage for him.

You're right. I absolutely hate his guts now.

[Viv]

I never liked him either (mostly for his arrogance)/especially for what he did to Sheryl Crow. What does Kate see in him? Ew.

[FDG]

Italy 1st and 2nd place at the world championship

[Jack Flak]

Sweet.

[kyuuei]

What's that word when people go from nothing to everything, and then it goes to their heads and they get annoying?

[Jack Flak]

Cock.

[ZiL]

I used to be ambivalent about Armstrong (more of an Ullrich gal), but after hanging out around cycling forums for a while, my ambivalence turned to HATE. Okay, not really, but there's some major Lance backlash out there.

[kyuuei]

Cock.

:doh: There we go!
