With the announcement of the 2006 Tour de France route came some not so unexpected verbal jabs from across the pond. Then, as expected, verbal jabs flew back. It looks like we will have to endure this junk as the post Lance era of the Tour. Two wrongs always make at right don't they???
Saturday Night Live (tonight) will be filled with scathing skits aimed at the Tour leaders and the French. Dick Pound and WADA you won't be exempt either... Actually this will be the best venue for Lance to vent his emotions. It's all in good fun, isn't it???
Perhaps, Jerry Springer can get in on this. I can just see it. Jean Marie and Lance squaring off with Jerry and then Cheryl comes to the support of her man by making cat like snarles. Then Johann comes in via video and tells Lance "can you believe they cut the team time trial?" Then a close up of Lance's nostrils flairing. Let's get down and dirty...cycling deserves this, doesn't it????
Now...my gripe with the Tour. What's this...no team time trial??? Are you nuts??? Have you lost your mind??? If you really want to keep the Tour de France as the race of races...then the team time trial is an absolute necessity. Keep it a total team event. Make the teams work as teams in each aspect of the Tour.
Here's my advise:
Lance - shut up and retire
Johann - shut up and direct your team
Jean Marie - shut up and race direct/retire or whatever you do now besides run your mouth
Just shut up. Do you really think cycling gives a rip about your petty, childlike hatred??? Let's save the drama for the sprints and the climbs...
