Goss has been good... But Griepel, Cav, Sagan have just been unbelievable...

Gerrans got banged up early, going into the barbed wire fence early. so is prolly struggling some what...

not sure if there is anyone else on the team still in the race :P

hot damn! frank schleck returns a urine sample with an anomoly for a banned diuretic taken on Friday and has withdrawn from the tour..

why is it, that more action seems to happen on rest days, than on race days??

Schleck whilst never having recorded a positive b4, has been suspended by his team for making large payments to a doctor linked to operation puerto and systematic doping of cyclists..

Lets wait and see what the excuses are... I am guessing it wont be contaminated meat, but some over the counter drug he bought...

Anyone reckon Wiggo or Cavendish can back it up with a win in the time trail and road race at the Olympics?

Cavandish is a lock if it gets to a bunch sprint, especially with Wiggans leading him out. Might be harder in a five man team to pull back a good breakaway though.

I think Cancellara is a lock for the TT, especially after a good rest.

Wiggo proved he is in smashing form for the TT. I have no doubts he can back up.. Alot of the other TT guys just arent in great shape...

The road race looks absoluely like a sprinters course... Cav proved in the last 2-3 sprints, he is that far ahead of any other sprinter in the game when the finish suits him..

I would be more surprised if they didnt win, than if they did!

ohh koops not you to! please dont call it the tour de fail.. we are so quick to lavish praise on our athletes when they do something great, but when shit happens and they dont perform, or are simply beaten by a better athlete, we turn on them in a heartbeat! i think peter stefanovik called it the tour de fail, uneducated ponce...

cadel has more chance at the TT than the road race.. Goss would have more chance of winning the road race than Cadel..

heheheh i dont really follow cycling but i do watch it in the olympics...

i heard tour de fail somewhere and just typed it down, and yes we are quick to be very critical of our own athletes, just like the situation with Leisel Jones right now. poor girl.

Personally I think Wiggo's only competition is Cancillara, but I'm still backing him in because I feel he wants it real bad.
And the road race will come down to the sprinters probably either Sagan or Cavendish.

goss could be in the mix if it is a bunch sprint, but he hasnt beaten those guys all season...

wiggo blew cancellara away twice in the tour, and i would expect him to do it again on home soil.. tony martin i would say is a bigger threat, depending on how he is recovered from his injuires..

that whole leisel jones situation at the moment is a downright disgrace.. i hope she goes out and wins gold and tells them all to get fucked when they ring her for an interview... i loved 1 perspective a lady put on it on SEN.. she is recovering from an eating disorder, and her hubby wishes she looked like leisel (we all like a bit of meat on the bone...) and she said so i get into shape like that, get called fat and bang i am throwing up after every meal again... simply cant win!

the herald sun recently has done nothing but show how bad a paper they are, and how low they will stoop to put shit in the paper... personally, i hope they go out of business. no journalistic credibility at all at that trash, i have switched to The Age!
