  1. I like her. She has that Popovich/Leach quality when dealing with the press. You ask a stupid question, you deserve what you get.
  2. A legend for sure, and he was the best for many years, but has been showing his age lately. Time to relax and enjoy the sport without the pressures of commentating.
  3. Avatar suggests you already are.
  4. SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!!!
  5. Wouldn't you spend a year in Lubbock for $1 mil? I would.
  6. Seconded. Girmay was a revelation, at least to me, but the others are very well known.
  7. Girmay's accomplishments were my favorite of the Tour, followed closely by Matteo's showing. Vingo vastly exceeded my expectations. I hope the top 3 and their teams are all healthy next year. Let's see a fair fight.
  8. I really wish Jonas and the rest of Visma were actually in top form, regardless of what Tadej wants everyone to believe.
  9. One of my favorites. I was binging some Newhart episodes just last night. I can't imagine anyone not liking him.
  10. They assume every question you ask has an ulterior motive because every question they ask you does. There is no such thing as a yes or no question.
  11. We'll never know exactly how diminished Jonas is, or what he might have done with a healthy team around him, but Tadej certainly appears to be in top form. Glad to see Girmay isn't too worse for ware. Loved seeing him grab that point from Philipsen at the mid-stage sprint.
  12. Just watched it. Grrrrrrrrrr. Hope he is able to go tomorrow. He needed a couple of stitches and has a few bumps and bruises, but thankfully no fractures.
  13. Magic what versus what kind of bird?
  14. The most suspect thing to me is recovery. How they can look so much better than everyone else day after day after day is the "hmmm" factor for me. When it comes to things like that, I just ignore it and enjoy the sport for what it is. I don't want to know the truth. And don't spoil Santa Claus for me either.
  15. I have zero experience with this, but could you take RedCoach on the AUS-DFW leg, and AA on the DFW-AUS leg?
  16. This is why we are well on our way to idiocracy happening. I should be dead by then, thankfully.
  17. He needs to quit trying to sneak up along the barrier. He got pinched off again today trying to do that, and probably wins if he takes a better line...easier said than done, of course.
  18. At first, second, and third glance, I assumed that was some sort of photoshop fade effect before realizing it was just the dust. It also captures the slightly bad fit of Jan Tratnik's bike for Jonas. Awesome photo.
  19. Criticizing Jonas for behaving like Jonas is one way to go. I hope Pog and Remco keep poking that bear. Jonas has always been very aware of his strengths and weaknesses, and ridden accordingly. Expecting him to go toe-to-toe with Pog and Remco on stages that don't suit him is wish casting. This is the second biggest hurdle to a Jonas 3-peat (the biggest being the crash in April). I think Jonas is more reliant on his team than Pog. Pog has rarely demonstrated that he has the patience to utilize his team to its fullest potential, though to be fair, this is the first year where he has the strongest team. Not maximizing that advantage is good news for Jonas, but I don't think it will matter. I'm not as optimistic as Thomas, but I would love to be wrong.
  20. Ouch. Not a common cycling injury.
  21. Imagine if it had been raining.
