It does disturb me slightly that you have her icon saved, though @xyxax. What would Cecile say if she knew???

Pretty sure she was trying to sleep with every guy on the site.

Frahnk finally either banned her for good or she realised that as sex starved as we al…[Read more]

Ahhh, Nipple lube! Has anyone heard from JiPM over the last few years?

I remember him getting married (we, as the site, got together and sent him and his bride some champagne) but I have not heard from him since.

Oh, I completely agree.  The Keepers and the site do not owe me anything.

They have never charged me a dime and have given freely over the years.

It is just sad to me to see it dying.

@Brett

Where’s the old V community, the one with a sense of humour?

Dude, it seems like it is dead and gone.

Might have something to do with the fact that The Keepers only have shown up once every few months for the last two years.

The Giro is always the best Grand Tour but as for this TdF, two words have kept me totally involved and intrigued (at least in the mountains):  Dan “FUCKING” Martin—-okay … three words but I did not want anyone confused with Tony Martin.

newfound respect for Dan Martin

Pure fucking Class Act!  He is my new favorite rider hands down.

Here’s his quote at the finish today: Reporter says–You would be in yellow if not for that stage 9 crash.  Martin replies: It’s all ‘What if’, you know? I might have been in yellow and then lost five minutes because everyone a…[Read more]

Surely there could not be a double standard favoring the French. Demare clearly deviated from his line in Stage 4. While Sagan was booted, Demare escaped punishment and took the stage. Bouhanni punches a Quickstep rider and gets a laughable punishment. Now, three riders take water bottles and two get 20-second penalties. Bardet…

Computers, “syncing it up”, powermeters, wattage. What is this madness? Can’t we just have a bloody bike race where you race how you feel? Bernard Hinault said (and I may paraphrase here) “As long as I breathe, I attack.” He certainly didn’t say, I’ll attack within the perameters dictated to m…

Really great!  He’s not the same guy who did the cartoons for Rouleur that were on the cover one time, is he?

Doesn’t look exactly the same but they are similar.

@Buck Rogers

And then when it actually posts–the font is all the same.  Fuck!  I need a drink!

Especially agreed with this point.

@wiscot

Crazy times, crazy race. I’m hoping Dan Martin will recover today and show that he has podium form. He has nothing to lose at this point but to attack. Maybe he and Aru can go for it? Quintana could surprise and Bertie has nothing to lose but his pride in what looks like he last Tour. The Fat Lady is still in her dressing room and is j…

Somethings gone amuck with the rest day swaps code. I’ll see if I can get them working in time, but worst case is that no one swaps, which is not a terrible worst case…

This is obviously the Will of the Velominati Gods!

Merckx himself must have visited the site, saw the “Rest Day Swap” bullshit and decreed that it must stop now…[Read more]

Lots of swaps on the cards for tomorrow I think . . .
