Figger_Eight Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 One of my good friends used to race on the same team with Floyd back in the day. I guess he's a super nice guy to boot. Â I'm glad to see Pena wearing the yellow - that guy is a hard worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islander1 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Tyler: heap big nuggets - took 2nd in the Giro (eyetie tour) with busted collarbone. He said he'll continue into mountains. Elastoplast rules and is btw the perfect accoutrement for aging alpinists. Mummy up the knees and trod on. Â My $$$ on Levy to be next yank star. Broke 3 bones in his ass in the big crash, but Montana youth + psycho desire = potential. Â If Lance wins this - mon dieu - he may die from media onslaught going for a record 6th. Â I predict (this year): 1st Lance, 2nd Ulrich, 3rd Beloki. Wildcards: Botero, Mayo. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I read recently that his wife left him and took the kids. "...too much time spent training, not enough with the fam..." or something to that effect. Â Rough biz, being the best. But ya gotta follow your dreams.

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 The recent article/interview piece on Mr. Armstrong in Outside painted him to be something of a prick, albeit an admirably motivated prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lummox Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 read this: Grand-Mère, the official coffee supplier at the Tour de France, is distributing free cups of the black liquid at the start and finish each day. In the Village départ, that adds up to about 1,500 cups while the hostesses serve another 5,000 plastic cups to the general public. At the finish, the same amount is dispensed. From the cars in the publicity caravan, 54,000 bags containing 40g of coffee are thrown to the public on the side of the road.   thats fuckin cool.

Â I didn't see the article, but it sounds about right. I used to race against Lance occasionally when he was just a few years into the bike racing gig. Always kicked my ass, and the asses of most everyone else as well. Â He's obviously immensely talented, and insanely driven, and he works harder than anyone else, so he certainly earns my respect, but he's always been known as a prick. After his cancer ordeal, he's supposedly about 5% nicer than he used to be, but still far from an angel. My girlfriend works in the cancer center where he was treated, and she absolutely loathes the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobBob Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 (edited) thought the same about the prick factor. shitting on those close to you comes back eventually. Â everybody gets old and eventually leaves the playing field. That's when those of us with friends move to the lead in quality-of-life...or were we always there?

Â True, but your fellow racers can certainly make your life miserable if they despise you TOO much. Â Lance may be a prick in day-to-day life, but at least on the bike he does seem to follow/honor/respect all the traditional protocols and racing etiquette and such.
