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!

Disagree. Jones is a professional athlete at the Olympics, not a normal 25 year old woman going about her business. Thorpe got called out when he was over weight. She is over weight. Nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade. The only reason it seems to be an issue is because she is a woman.

the harm this guy has done for women and their body shape/image is inexcusable. every person has a different body shape and carries themselves differently.
it is the same thing with these lazy ass aussie journos who have nothing better to write about...

look at the tennis every year for the last 5 years : serena is to fat and is out of shape, just before she blows everyone off the court and wins another aus open....

lets not forget, Jones has done the work and swum the times to get to this meet. if she was out of shape, she wouldnt be there..

Nobody should be criticized for their weight or their body shape.. again these lazy ass journos expect everyone to look like stephanie rice, and that just aint the real world.

I hope her swimming does the talking, and shuts these fools up....

Tour de france has to be right up there with the Olympics for sporting spectacles.

By that I mean....
When it comes to events being so completely and utterly boring, these 2 events take the cake.

Just my opinion, can't think of much worse than being stuck in a room where either cycling or the Olympics is on the TV and not having the ability to change the channel.

The only sport to be sold out is basketball!
All the other venues are empty... pretty sad really.

The Sydney Olympics wasnt like this at all...
