I'm in full nostalgia mode.



What a summer.

I just recently learned that when he geared on to the large chain ring in '96 and broke away he had asked the mechanics to put on a smaller ring only so he could pull that trick and awe his opponents with accelerating up a mountain on the outer ring. The legend goes that Indurain had a mental breakdown when he saw it, what a champion. :worthy:

He was robbed in '95 :weep:



Berzin. :ultra:

I didn't know Ted Danson had a second career.

Riis was so full of blood doping stuff it is a wonder he didn't stroke out on the bike.  I've stories that some of his levels would have an ER send that person to intensive care right away.

Thomas gets a civic welcome in Cardiff on Thursday, I'm tempted to go.

That was a great TdF, the deserving man won, with two stage wins to boot, unlike the 2017 winner.

Alafillipe was a worthy winner in the king of the mountains, winning two stages, showing a refreshing spirit, a gentleman too.

Sagan justly won the green jersey, after winning two stages and battling through a bad injury that made him struggle to finish in the mountains.

And Dan Martin won a rare stage, despite all of his attacking endeavours in the past and particularly this tour, so it was very appropriate that he won the super-combativity prize and stood on the podium in Paris.

Jan Ullrich apparently didn't think he had sunk low enough, he has now been arrested for trying to strangle a prostitute  :wacko:

Last week he got into an altercation on Mallorca at Till Schweiger's place and police had to pick him up.

Does that mean we're winning? :unsure:

You're up 10-6 with 12 points left in the singles matches.

Alejandro Valverde wins the men's world road race, a deserved win.

Dramatic race with a near insane last miles climb.  :)
