Le Tour - Tyler Hamilton Closer

I edited this

A salute to Tyler Hamilton's epic solo victory in the 2003 Tour de France. He crashed on the first road stage, broke bones, nearly pulled out of the race, but didn't... Then he went on to breakaway in a latter stage and won the stage, Awesome.

Thanks for commenting "Nothingeverything1" but last I checked this was my page and I can comment about what I like :) If you look at my posts they are not filled with hate or anything like that. I can't speak for MJ, but it's because I love cycling so much that I dream of the sport cleaning up their act.

It's people like you who blindly put your head in the sand that makes the problem continue. As far as I am concerned MJ is one of the few ppl related to cycling who tell it like it is!!!!!

Ah nevermind... Thats too bad. He maybe was tired out after that yesterday...

Too bad, it looks like Astana will blood dope their way to every single major race victory this year. And the 02 carriers too dont forget!

Hey, you been quiet for a few weeks... What's new with you? What's the latest? Cheers

[mustardjunkie]

No one is going to "clean up" cycling or any other sport.

Superficiality is the only thing that matters. WADA is here to make Lance and other fake sports (all pro sports, and gov. funded olympics too) MORE marketable to corporations and publishers.

Recreational drugs? Drunk driving? Prostitutes? Mass systematic doping? Thats called living "grand!"

Whistleblower are too easily discredited as bitter and jelous. (LeMond, Swart, Prentice Steffen, Decanio, O'Reilly, Andreu, etc.)

MJ - are you watching the Tour of California? Not sure if you live that way...

Am amazed how much you know about all this drug stuff. How would LA get away with that, would his team be openly doing stuff, or all private ?  I've never worked out how it's done say with the CSC of old, is it common and in public and everyone just shuts up, or do people find their own ways to dope?

Cheers for any insight.

"Lance and the leaders" are all autologous blood doping. I think Mancebo caught the whole Astana off gaurd which is just funny. I'm rooting the square head Mancebo to beat Levi and Lance! He needs to make sure he gets big refills for the hard stages to get his hematocrit all the way up. Common Franscisco you can do it! He finished top 5 in the TDF once, cant remember what year it was?

[kzarifeh]

So are you telling me you are going for Mancebo even though you say he is doped too? How does that work?

Or is it that he is "less doped" than the others? ;)

How come you know this and they still can't catch them, does Astana have an organised systematic thing of doping, ie do his teammates know lance dopes or does he do it in private? Seeing as you know all, thought you might have insight on this too.

Cheers

@hypobaric1 Good prediction on Lance.  Just saw `60 Minutes' confession of his three teammates last night. :O

HE SNITCH

[dantastic15]

I love cycling! I am sorry to say that doping is more or less a part of the sport. 

[hypobaric1]

Dave Fuentes is still a doper?? Chad Gerlach is still a doper of the worst kind, Tyler Hamilton is the dumbest doper ever! and Lance, well his is coming

[FraterThomas]

Thanks man! This win is epic!

Tyler was one of my favorites at early 2000's cycling. His Tour 2003 was incredible: crash, stage win and overall 4th.

My english is crap, sorry. :)

[superbagner]

dopers should be banned from any sport for life, if you get caught in cycling you should be banned from eversports... that should teach them a lesson...

Contador to Saxo Bank

he wouldn't have been able to raise both arms at the finish with a severely broken collarbone.
