............tour is getting longer and longer.
 

First it was Zabriskie, then Rogers, then Gerdemann now its Brad Mcgee due to injuries.!!

 

Soon they may have to call up Basso and Boonen for duty.Big%20smile

 

Very irritating cos I liked all of em, especially young Gerdemann.

 

 

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away, and you have their shoes!.

..........back to the subject..................... JB (no not Johan BornmanWink ) the other JB, has been whinging that Schumacker is allowed to ride the tour - when both Boonen and Schumacher did drugs and Schumacker even crashed his car and caused a traffic violation at the same time
, according to JB thats an even worse scenario.

 

Sound like sour grapes to me, maybe Bruyneel is hoping to sign on "coke head" Boonen when Quickstep kicks him out. ??Wink

 

 

I believe in the sun,even when it dos'nt shine.

I believe in love,even when there is none to be found.

I believe in God, even when he is silent.

That would be the other Schumacher, right?

On that note, I feel that if Astana can't ride (and I'm not a Contador fan at all), Erik Zabel should not be allowed to ride. They said last year that Riis (who atleast made a full confession, unlike the half-ass "I only doped for one week"-confession made by Zabel) was not welcome at the Tour, and yet they welcomed Zabel. Double standards if you ask me. I dislike Riis and Contador, but fair is fair. I used to like Zabel, but alas he looks like a bigger liar.

Its not like he was the only one doping on the team.... the others just werent caught.. look... they all do it, so why ban some of them? ban the whole lot. Have a tdf peloton where we dont know 1 name this year
