@wellytopjohnny He is either on 52x14 or 53x15 those are the rules, he can't use anything bigger. Doing that on the downhill was the best thing to do.
Which country has the most money? Watch that Lowes car lap the field! Go Jimmy go!! Which country has the most money? Why do ya need money to go fast on a bicycle. Oh yeah, ....
Look at the idiot walking across the street in front of Taylor. He didn't even speed up his walk.
Funny moment: A guy in the car told Taylor to catch his minuteman (the cyclist who started a minute before him.) It's a good thing the Mexicans didn't hear the word "minuteman". lol.
by helping the beijing olympics profit, taylor phinney is supporting genocide against tibet and darfur. americans should be very ashamed of him. today, the news announced this support of genocide profiteering.
the olympics can no longer be viewed as just innocent fun and games. remember tianamen square? seen recent images of the monks maimed and murdered in tibet?china's lying to the world media about it, and china's oil deals support darfur's human rights abuses.china is notorious for massacring its own people. we hanged hussein for that?is supporting fascism something to be proud of?he's a good kid and athlete, trying to do his parents and country proud. i'd be prouder if he boycotted this pr sham
its not fair to accuse a 17 year old kid without a political agenda of trying to compete on a world stage with the world's best. I dont agree with china's policies, but dont shift the blame onto athletes who just want to compete.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
one can ignore, but can't escape the agenda of repression and brutality that characterizes china's political treatment of the tibetan people, or its own, for that matter.have you forgotten tienanmen square so soon? holding the olympics in china is just as shameful as holding them, or participating in those held in nazi germany.athletes of conscience will boycott this event. if the olympics are not about politics, they should take place in countries that are not involved in political repression.
Instead of whining about others, why not tell us what you are doing about those injustices? Are you boycotting all products made on the backs of the downtrodden in other countries? Are you buying only US made goods from US companies?
In 1932 the olympics were held in highly racist Nazi germany. Instead of boycotting the games, Jesse Owens competed and was the star of the games, grabbing multiple medals with Hitler in the stands. That should make every American proud
Yup, old BayerSocks is a bitch who most likely isn't happy about anything. Just a bitter person who will entually grow up or just blow away along with those who think like 'em.
hey medicine socks, i read an article about how the torch route was altered in san fransisco. a man who was interviewed was very depressed because "I wanted to see the torch my whole life, most people never get to see it" he went on to say "these protesters had to ruin in for everyone"
medicinesocks, where did your countryman finish?? Thats what I thought. Americans are always proud of their champions, and we are proud of Taylor. Can you say World Champion. USA can. Taylor went to Mexico for one reason, to crush anybody that got in his way. Good job kid. Go away socks, this is not your political stage. This was a bike race, pure and simple.
Wouldn't similar success possibly go to your head too at that age? Or maybe at this point you're still too young to realize it? Like perhaps Taylor is?
The guy talking in the car is his father, Davis Phinney, one of America's greatest cyclists. Look him up.

Dopers suck. USA Cycling is a joke. US governing bodies only care about themselves.
