Lance WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Le Fidèle]

So, its no suprise that the all American Texan won the tour de france again 1, again 2, again 3, again 4, again 5, again 6, AND :cheesy: AGAIN 7 :cheesy: . But im sad that hes leaving when he probably knows he has a couple more tours to win. Good choice though, going out on a high note. I hoping he'll be like Michael Jordan, and comeback, but only be just as great.
"I liveSTRONG FOR LANCE!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Prometheus]

Yeah, I was suprised that no-one made a topic about the tour earlier. Lance is unbeatable and I was sure he'd try to win like 10 and then retire.
But it was a good choise to retire from the top. I heard he's going to start biathlon or something now.

i was so glad that he won and retired on top of the world.. i have a pretty cool lance armstrong wristband (im sure u guys know what im on about), it says "LiveSTRONG" on it. i find it very inspirational!

[loff]

I think he'll stay retired. I think it would be good for the sport aswell, a star like him does draw attention towards both the sport and himself, but we've had him for so long now. The sport needs competition aswell (not saying that it doesn't have it, but after having one winner for the past 7 years...)

Yep, I know what you're talking about, benficabeatsporto. I don't like'em tho, as I consider them to be a fashion thing, atleast here in Norway. You don't need a rocket scientist to figure out that I don't wear one.

[Tim]

I say he stays retired and give everyone else a chance :lol:

[Le Fidèle]

Loff is right, people do use them as a fasion statement, Thats What makes me Pissed :mad: . people forget the real meaning of it, its for kids and adults that have to deal with Cancer everyday,and some punks want to where them "just cause the look cool" (not talking about you benficabeatsporto, mean no offence to you) and then they F**ken throw it away a week later cause there are "Newer wrist bands with cooler colors". Its not a Fasion Statement its A Reminder and awareness message to others about how seriouse cancer is. The money from the liveSTRONG wristbands are also donated to the live strong foundation where they help people dianosed with cancer. Where is all the money the big Brand companys going like Champs, adiddas, and footlocker, ........................right into thier pockets!!!!!!!!

WEAR your LIVESTRONGs PROUDLY, NOT As A FASION STATMENT,
I Wear Mine FOR MY MOM who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
I HOPE ALL OF YOU DO THE SAME but for your own reasons.

[Prometheus]

I wonder who will be the next Discovery Channel Team leader. My money is on Vinokourov.

I hope everything goes well for your mom Le Fidèle.

[Le Fidèle]

thanks, had to release some steam. but anyways yeah, i think vinokourov will be the team leader. but i think ullrick(spelt it wrong) will finally come out with a win.

I'm glad Lance won.But on the other side i'm not happy he has won


Why am I happy that he won:

Well,i know he's training very hard.Even on Christmas evening he rides around on his bycicle.Not to mention,that he has cancer,that he overwon.That's so special about him

Why ain't i happy that he won:

Discovery Channel is 1 of the teams that where's earphones.They contact eachother with the boss and he CALCULATES what he can do the best.

I'm glad next year will be more exciting!

It's amazing the determination of Armstrong. He did exactly what he needed to do in the mountain stages in order to stay ahead, then, wishing to earn at least one stage win in his final race, he went out and dominated the time trials on Saturday.

Sean and I went to the Champs Elysées yesterday to see the riders come to Paris. There was a huge crowd there as usual including plenty of American tourists, American flags, and Texas flags. It was a thrill to see Armstrong in person in his last big competitive race, and a strange feeling to hear the Star-Spangled Banner while walking the streets of Paris. :P

[Franka]

ARRRRRGH!!! I voted for the wrong one! After I submit I found out what I did!!! I should vote A... Gosh it's too late, why should I vote so fast........I didn't mean to vote B. I can't control my fingers because I want Lance to be back :lol:

[Ask For More]

i don't care about those things :roll:

[Jaycubed]

Armstrong is one of a kind, simply put.

Yeah it seems like Vinokourov will be the leader for discovery next year, but my money is firmly on Ivan Basso, the only guy who kept with Armstrong in nearly every way but the time trials.

It's gonna be fun next year though, cos it's so wide open.

[PayBays]

Rasmussen!

I hope he'll win next year!

To bad for Tom Boonen...

[Le Fidèle]

i don't care about those things :roll:
then why post in this section? this is about lance not about what you dont like.

[Franka]

Armstrong is really wise. He choose to retire when he won 7 amazing championships. If he keep on competing, I believe he will get another one!!!
Agassi should know this, he should retire too, don't you think so?

[tern]

He was the greatest ever. Everyone should see that nike commercial with the segment from his 1998 press conference when he says, "... and I hope to one day return to race as a professional cycler". What an understatement.

[Le Fidèle]

for all those who care,
just found out that lance will be on Operah on tuesday, nvm....today lol....not sure what time though,
and he will also be interviewd on OLN on august 2nd at 8pm about everything (from kids to the tour to retirement)
And Turnic is right, that was one of the deepest commercials i have ever seen.
"vive le tour,.....forever"
:bounce:

[loff]

I heard lots of people talking abouit Vinkourov (find typos !) going to CA, probably all wrong then.. :)

I'm really sorry to hear that, Le Fidèle.

[Le Fidèle]

thanks loff,you no need no worry for me, turns out, shes been holding out on me, and shes acutally had it for some time now, so she decided to tell me when she either A)was doing better or B) got really bad. she went with A. i'm mad that she didnt tell me earlyer, but glad she has a good chance of beating it. :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

[loff]

Lets change that to "I'm really glad it's going the right way with her" then.. :)

[DavidAlizée]

i don't care about those things :roll:

I second that.
