    He's done it again.

    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

          I was surprised at the amount won by Robert Millar, thought it would've been higher.

          I still don't think we'll finish in the top 4 this season."

            I realise you're joking but that's not fair on Cavendish. While there has been and still is a problem with drugs in cycling, it doesn't mean they're all doing it.

            Other sports have problems too - for example, look at how football has become perverted by money. As for Stanford... I'm not saying we ignore or downplay cycling's problems but let's not exaggerate it or label them all cheats either.

              Yes, I know what you mean. I suppose it reflects how few races can be won by pure climbers rather than those who can climb and sprint (like Bettini). The other specialists are favoured by the way races work - sprinters obviously but also time triallists and even, when they occasionally get away, rouleurs.

                but in fairness you're biased

                    Without the Olympics to worry about this year, the Green Jersey is almost a certainty in France for Cavendish.
                    On the Ning Nang Nong
                    Where the Cows go Bong!
                    And the Monkeys all say Boo!
                    There's a Nong Nang Ning
                    Where the trees go Ping!
                    And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
                    On the Nong Ning Nang
                    All the mice go Clang!
                    And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
                    So it's Ning Nang Nong!
                    Cows go Bong!
                    Nong Nang Ning!
                    Trees go Ping!
                    Nong Ning Nang!
                    The mice go clang!
                    What a noisy place to belong,
                    Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

                      He has to get over the mountains though. He might find that tough.

                      Actually I think it'll be a really good stretch for him. He's proved he can win stages - now he's got to learn to be consistent and build up his stamina.

                      Anyway he's got Milan-San Remo before that. He could do well there, if he can last the 260km and get over the Cipressa and the Poggio with the bunch.

                        He's won again.

                        It's quite encouraging for July given the difficulty of some of the stages in the last couple of days, including yesterday's 260km.

                        Now he's in the Track Worlds squad then is he even going to ride Milan-San Remo?

                            Fredo, you are showing your almost complete ignorance on the subject. You clearly don't realise that anyone with the slightest understanding of cycling knows Cavendish is not a contender for the yellow jersey in Paris but as usual you have to be an idiot.

                            Why do you bother commenting on a thread you know **** all about?
