At 2.14 and BANG! (make sure you listen to the commentary just after :lol: ).



Adrian, what was the guy saying after 2.14? :D

'Just when Boonen was daydreaming a bit back there, he (Cancellara) goes off like a steam train. Ooh-la-la, etc.' :D

It was the "Ooh-la-la" I liked, I guessed it was the same in English, just tickled me.

Boonen mucked it up big time basically.

And yes, it was very eye brow raising performance, much like many of the guys who I'm up against... who aren't getting tested every week. :roll:

[quote="Sean Hogan"][quote="Grahame"]Is it a bit cynical of me to think that two such "incredible" rides by Cancellara in 8 days is a bit, well, incredible?


Yes a bit. Does that means all the other 9 double winners were on the juice too?


...could do. Hasn't Major Tom been nabbed for coke three times so far? That's a powerful message the UCI are sending innit. What might he have been masking with it, or coming down from, or whatever. There are still too many damn cheats in this sport. Long may they rot, preferably in another sport (former cycling drug cheats tiddlywinks has a nice ring to it), or even better a prison ship permanently moored three miles off the coast near Skegness.

Lovely sunny day eh? :roll:

What time is the Liege-Bastogne-Liege coverage on? Shall I speak to the Lindfield and see if we can do another Big Screen showing? Steve the guv'nor says he's got the link sorted so can do it on big projector now instead of the telly in the bar. He'll also do some food for us if we like (he did rather good spread for the darts final - chicken legs & wings, chips, sausage rolls, chicken on a stick (not in Marky Mark's league but nice nonetheless), onion rings in batter etc ). It ain't the most salubrious location but the beer's cheap and the locals are fairly friendly. Could be a nice day out - either race and/or marshal the ACC 25 in the morning (still could do with some more helpers btw) and then toddle back to Addiscombe for an afternoon watching LBL.

Talk about cheating in pro-cycling - well I can see a foolproof plan for winning Liege-Bastogne-Liege ....

In many interviews with the other riders ad managers on Pezcyclingnews and cyclingnews they all referred to Cancellera and his cohones.
Is this the new pot-belge?

Is the UCI actually behind the Athletics federation - I mean they already busted someone for their past misuse of cohones: Caster Semenya [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/sports/20runner.html[/url]

Not really, he looked really comfortable on the Tenbosse (3rd to last climb). And he flew threw the town here like he wasn't even trying, but then here was only 116km in.

He also put someone in the ditch on the Paterberg. I was standing 25m from the bottom, and just after they turned onto the climb a Vaconsoleil rider attempted to move up his right hand side. Lance was having none of it, and literally nealy elbowed the guy into the ditch. It was so violent the rider was forced to unclip, and almost to a complete standstill, which if you've ever ridden the Paterberg you will know is definately not good!!
