Friday Game Time

Stumble much? (http://www.wagenschenke.ch/)

Cute little flash game to help you practice getting back home from the bars after a few drinks... Cute....

So, any great plans for this weekend? TGIF!

But, I got a sweet yoddle right before I fell.:D

Supposed to go camping this weekend but the weather looks to be a downer with rain predicted for much of the weekend. Might be better just sitting in front of the TV and watching the TdF.

Think I maxed out around 64meters myself... Missed the yodel, need to try again I guess..

Camping sounds fun... But not as much fun in the rain. Especially with young'ns...

As for TdF... Go Lance!

Now to stir things up... So, do you think he dopes? Hmmm? Do you care?

The guy was a stud well before cancer... fights, recovers, trains, works his way back to form, and is more focused than ever. He trains specifically for this race. He has the best team out there to ride with. And he doesn't make many mistakes...

Jan has come in 2nd like 5 times now? No one is picking on him saying that he must be cheating...

Anyway, just my thoughts...

Always easy to answer from the comfort of your own home. I'd like to think he has not doped, but with all the recent doping scandals across all sports, I can't help thinking he's juiced in some illegal way.

I can say that his mental attitude and his genetics make him a superstar. He loves to suffer and even more so, he loves to win. His ability to focus and be single-mided serve him well. Time to start thinking of 7!

Hmmm,

This one has been much talked about in my lab lately. Personally I want to think that he isnt and for the most part find in hard to belive that he would want to do so. After reading his books and reading interviews I think he is too determined to win this race to risk getting caught doping. It seems like it wouldnt be a real win in his opinion. Of course this could be totally wrong. But his focus on this race and his sadistic train schedule are what keep him on top of this race. It will be interesting to see what happens next year. Whether he races to win the tour or chooses to focus on other races.I would like to see him win a World Championship or possibly a Giro d'Italia. He is looking incredibly strong this year. Just my thoughts....

He does have good genetics,like Pedro Delgado(actually he did get caught using drug) Indurain is the dude.He focuses only on the Tour,unlike others in the past also won the Giro, one day classics & so forth. His work ethic is also untouched by anyone else & his team is handpicked.Also,quite a few of his old teammates are the leaders of other teams. I still hold LeMond in higher regards though. He won 3,gave away 1 to Hinault & got shot in the chest.Plus he didn't always have a team that worked for him. I watched the last timetrial,he killed it.

the one-dimensional criticism, as he hinted he'll do the Giro next year as well as the World Championships and maybe even a spring classic. I was thinking about his place in history and I'd have to say he's the best TdF rider in history. Seven in a rwo proves this. But, I think Merckx is the best rider in history for the reasons E pointed out: he's won the Giro, the Tour (yellow, green, and polka jerseys at the same!!!:eek: ), the classics, etc. That might change in the next couple of years as Lance expands his horizons. We'll see.
