You just have that attitude because no Frenchie has won since Hinault '85, and LeMond should have won that one.

I don't think so Holden, maybe we have more (I'd use th word "incessant(sp?)") coverage of biking here... on some channels it feels like it 12h/day. And there are LOTS of EPO use reported, every year there's at least a full team that is disbanded/disqualified because of this.

And I'm not jealous, we had the best biker of all times: Eddie Mercks(sp?)!!!

PS : Saw I think it's "Merckx" (je suis pas sur sur ...)

A Belgian who can't spell Eddy Merckx' name?
I knew Saw was a closet frog, now it's confirmed.

You probably do.  We have Scott Peterson, Micheal Jackson, and the Bush/Kerry fight to fill the airwaves.

omg :eek:

As I mentioned previously... I grew up in Asia, and I couldn't care less about men riding bicycles in tight pants! The sports I grew up with were cricket, then base-U-ball ;)


Funked, go wash your mouth with soap now!

Hehehe. we didnt spend the week on the boat cause it was used my my inlaws this week.
We stayed at our summer house, and we only have a small boat there for fishing and watersports :)

Not very lucky with the weather this week either but it could have been worse.
