And was enjoying the show as well as a depo. Mea culpa.

Keep us posted on the obsession. The gang loves marital rancor.

Nice entrance - and sock ID.

Fucking French agitators.

Of course, it was pretty irrelevant to the results. unlike those damn trucker strikes.

I saw somewhere where the race officials didn't stop the elapsed time for the riders stopped by the protest until it cleared, calling it a "normal race event" or something like that... Seems pretty unfair to me.

Main difference between Tour de France and a hypothetical "Tour de Chicago" = It would never reach the level of a "normal race event" here because the assorted yahoos blocking the course would be introduced to "Monsieur Nightstick"... NTTAWWT

Edited to add props to PJ for beating me to the punch...

Aloha (I'd like to be metrosexual, but I'm much too Bilmore...) Mr. Learned Hand

Sucking up to a sock will not vindicate you, Ebola. I suggest you stop posting for awhile until you think everyone has forgotten.

We may get a chance to find out. The Tour is considering starting in the US (NY, DC) for a few days as they do with some European countries in 2005 or 2006.

How could they call it a "normal race event?" What the fuck, we aren't talking potholes or cows in the road -- these are people intentionally interfering with the race. I know that the logistics of "making it right" might be tough but how in the hell could they allow these asspatches to hold up the race for so long? Fuckers.

BTW, the HRD was fantabulous (even without Bonds). I now heart Pujols.

edited to note that if my CEO had not interrupted me with a conversation about fucking work just as I was finishing my response I would have beaten everyone to the punch but now I am just one of the crowd.

Please feel free to remove your dentures and suck my long, judeo-christianicly circumcised penis.

With kindest regards.

Peleton got stuck at a train crossing the other day. It's in the rules: race event. Weird, but I kind of like it. It makes it seem old school. Like our event isn't so important that we can make trains from stopping across the route. And if that happens, that's cycling.

Anyway, I'm still trying to imagine how the tour ever survived when it started with stages that were 500km long. 500km!! On those old crappy bikes. Mon dieu!

What a bizarre idea. My view is that every stage should at least start or end in France. It's not the tour du mond. And the tour du pont died an early death.

You know, I'm starting to wonder if that's what's pictured in your avatar.

leagleaze · 07-15-2003, 06:21 PM

So has anyone else seen this yet?

I thought it was pretty good. Not great, but good. I found it quite different from the others though, and I didn't find the new terminator all that menacing.

I was a bit surprised by the end, I don't know why, I guess I just didn't think it would end on that note.

I said circumcised. I think they remove the fangs at least during the process.

Problem is, what's to stop some group from jumping in front of, say, Lance's group, for political reasons while some, say, French contender rides off into the sunset???

Speaking of the Tour, where's Penske's two cents on this??? I know it's Podium Girl season and all, but...

The tour du pont was too early in history. There are discussions to resurrect, but the new stage race that has garnered coverage on OLN and decent racers is the Tour of Georgia.

All Texas can offer (aside from the Ride for the Roses, which always attracts the Posties and used to feature pros in the downtown crit) is the Hotter N Hell 100 in Wichita Falls.
