mpeltier Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi Chuck, hk mtbkr did pick one and that person is not on your list! When I hear TGO I automatically think of Robbie.It's a shooting thing! wording change And this is a shooting Forum afterall. If you posted TGO on a cycling forum and were talking about Rob Lathem, you would get some real blank stares. I too thought initialy this was going to be about Rob Lathem.

Catfish Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 First day in the Alps was rather telling.... Lance (and the rest of the field) didn't look so good today and Contador looked like a beast.... Lance *might* be able to eek out a podium finish, but he's gotta have better days in the mountains and a bad ass TT in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark - I think I recall a certain 3 G match where carbon bikes were discussed...errr...debated. There are many great ones...but when I first heard TGO used around these parts I thought to myself "when did Gretzky start shooting?" All I know for sure, is I am NOT one of the great ones. And FWIW, I'm not sure if Lance is slated to be the winner of the team, but Contador is a machine for sure...and...with 12+ years of experience over him...I wouldn't could out the old man yet.

schmitz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Contador and the Schleck Family did good business today. Lance beat Kloden just before the finish line but lost some time. With the time trial and the Mont Ventoux coming, interesting stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmitz Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 There is a new 'Boss' in the Tour de France: Contador beat Cancellara from CH by 3 seconds in the time trial. Lance on third position in the overall standings. Nothing decided yet between positions 2 to 6.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JQ- Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Team Radio Shack?!?!?! I thought they were about to fold...you can't even buy solder flux in the local shops...all the geeks in there looked at me like I had asked for a Heath Kit...what the...? In case you hadn't heard Lance will be back and with a new team...Radio Shack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JQ- Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) It was a great tour. I've got to get to the tour soon...to watch I mean. Next year is going to be HUGE with a new Lance team. Livestrong! ETA: Thanks to the mods for allowing our "discussion" here, too. Edited July 26, 2009 by hk_mtbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Andy Schlek post interview at the finish, "I'm looking at yellow jersey and I want to be there" with his usual smirk. If that guy did'nt wait for his slower brother all the time he'd have a chance for the whole thing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
