Lance Armstrong

[CatDawg]

Will he or won't he ride in the Tour this year?

His team has a different sponsor Discovery Channel or something like that.

He is planning on riding in a race in Paris in the near future.

I think he goes for number seven myself.

[dirty30]

Ill agree with ya on this one CatDawg

[4leaf]

Yea I think he will give it a try this year, and maybe next, but after that I'm not sure he'll be the lead (or whatever the position is called) for his team. He may come back as a supportive role, like a pacer on the hills runs.

[Basketballer]

He was on Opra the other day

[CatDawg]

It was on ESPN radio this morning that he has decided to race at least one more Tour De France.

Hope he pulls it off.

[VonWafer_FSU]

he is running his 7th tour de france, should be a huge favorite, but watch out for such names as tyler hamilton, jan ullrich, and iban mayo to challenge him, if ne one even knows these names....haha :)

[PantherBlitz42]

Lol
Lance will win it again....
Ullrich could win if he didnt' party alot in the off season

Is it not funny how, Le Tour De France, was thought up by French people, and it is dominated by Americans??? That has to make them mad, a french exchange student at my school dosen't like it to much when i talk about it haha

[Hurley]

i think if he enters it he will win again

[VonWafer_FSU]

hes the best mountain climber in the tour, so hes got in the bag

[CatDawg]

Ulrich isn't bad in the mountains either. But I don't think either is the best in the mountains anymore. I can't remember the guy from last year that challenged, stayed and even beat Lance in a mountain stage last year.

Tyler Hamilton just doesn't have the drive that Lance has and didn't Mayo bail out last year.

[VonWafer_FSU]

mayo raced it was tyler hamilton that bailed due to a wrist injury i think, lance is the most consistent mountain climber....thats wut counts, ullrich has the talent to beat him, just not the mindset

[4leaf]

Yea most of the people that watched it will remember atleast their lsat names, but may not have looked up their first names. CatDawg is right, neither of them are the stongest mountain climbers in the tour, but Lance is the best overall rider which should be very evident.

[VonWafer_FSU]

his first name is Iban Mayo man i know sports everything.... :D ......i think me and catdawg are prolly the most overall knowledgeable, if theres someone else out there sorry, maybe u are also...lol

[CatDawg]

I've always loved all sports. Heck I even watch bowling.

I remember when I was a kid I kept a journal for a year on how much sports I watched after my aunt said I was a freak. I proved her wrong I was a double sports freak. I watched over 35,000 different sporting events in the year. Thank god for a satelite that wasn't scrammbled back in the day. Had to calm down a little when I got married.

[VonWafer_FSU]

i love sports so much, i watch espn classic, listen to espn radio, watch fsn, espn, espn2.....sports is just awesome... 8)

[VonWafer_FSU]

[PantherBlitz42]

pdw????

[VonWafer_FSU]

:?:

[Peter Griffin]

i am lost on PDW as well.
But aside from that i think Lance is a great story and is a Shoe in to win again

[VonWafer_FSU]

wow ur takin a huge risk sayin that....NOT!!....no duh man say sumthin we dont know..lol

[PantherBlitz42]

Hmm
He's simply incredible, had cancer and was given a 3% chance of survival, he overcomes it and get on the bike and rides to 6 tour victories

[VonWafer_FSU]

actually he was given a 20 percent chance at survival... :wink:

[PantherBlitz42]

Lol
actually, when everything was all over, his doctor told him he actually had a 3% chance of survival.. and that he thought for sure he was a dead man

[CatDawg]

He certainly has bounced back from that dreadful time in his life.

[dirty30]

yes, what lance has accomplished in his lifetime is simply amazing
no one else will be able to do that ever again
man of the year...no...more like man of the century
to come back form cancer and win all those tours, is like a dream not reality...but he made it happen

[VonWafer_FSU]

um...actually the doctor gave him a 15-20 percent chance of survival check ur facts....

[dirty30]

where are you all getting your facts about his survival percent?

[PantherBlitz42]

um...actually the doctor gave him a 15-20 percent chance of survival check ur facts....
Im sorry my friend, i know they gave him a 20%, but when it was over the doctor told him he actually had a 3%...... My father races road and mountain bikes, and he reads a many of magazines about Cycling, so i would think he knows a little more about that stuff than u lol

[VonWafer_FSU]

um dont call me friend cuz im not..lol...and um i have lances autobiography and his doctor never said ne thing about 3 percent survival buddy... :wink:

[dirty30]

PB42 vs. VW_FSU
XXbazooka: qright2.g:
who will win???
lets get ready to rumble lol

[PantherBlitz42]

um dont call me friend cuz im not..lol...and um i have lances autobiography and his doctor never said ne thing about 3 percent survival buddy... :wink:

I have his autobiography also, and have read much about him... Do you read Cycling magazine or anything else that relates to racing or anything? i dont think so :roll:

[CatDawg]

Keep it nice gentleman. OK so far and lets just keep it that way.

[VonWafer_FSU]

pantherblitz man calm down...lmao...i dont really care wut chance he was given , all i know is that hes living and thank god he is...haha...guess ill just agree wit u man, cuz it really doesnt matter

[CatDawg]

You can be so nice FSU. Makes me feel all tender inside.


Nice.

[dirty30]

haha im glad we got that settled....

[CatDawg]

I know what you mean.

[VonWafer_FSU]

were u being sarcastic CD...lmao....i mean it was kinda crazy arguing over the chance he was given to survive, lets keep it on how great he is

[dirty30]

ahha u make a good point here because he is GREEEEEEEEEEEAT!

[VonWafer_FSU]

actually d30 he is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaatttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CatDawg]

So you guys think he's great?

[PantherBlitz42]

He's better than great, he's the BEST
No question

[CatDawg]

I agree and that is best EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VonWafer_FSU]

i wouldnt say hes the best, cuz i dont think u guys truly understand the history of history, and its hard to compare athletes in different generations, but hes one of the best

[CatDawg]

OK would you agree if he gets number seven that he's the best ever?

[VonWafer_FSU]

if he gets number 7 in a row, than yeh, but hed have to be dominate doing it

[dirty30]

there is no thinking to this one for me
I KNOW he is the best ever

[CatDawg]

I agree D30.

[VonWafer_FSU]

you know he is d30? can u name ne other cyclists that have won a tour de france without looking it up, i dont think so, dont discount the history of cycling

[dirty30]

I am not I am just saying from what he has accomplished in his lifetime he is the best ever at his sport
cna u name any other cyclists that have done what he has?

[PantherBlitz42]

I am not I am just saying from what he has accomplished in his lifetime he is the best ever at his sport
cna u name any other cyclists that have done what he has?

As far as cycling goes, he's the best there has ever been, cause no one has ever done what he has accomplished

Has Jan Ulrich ever won the Tour? i think he's won it once, but im not for sure...

[VonWafer_FSU]

whoa whoa jan ullrich shouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath as lance armstrong, but lance has won 6 in a row, a 7th will solidify his place in history

[dirty30]

i think he will win his 7th too, and then retire!

[VonWafer_FSU]

if he wins a 7th in a row, i dont see why he would retire, just keep on winning, and make ur name as the best ever without question
