Tour tangent

As I've said, I'm not going to do a blow-by-blow of the Tour.  You're watching it...you know what happened!

Here's a tangent though...

When will Lemond shut up?  I mean REALLY.  No one cares what you think Greg. 

Here, read the latest....

Lemond believes...

So, he 'believes' that clean performances will one day rival those of 'the doping era', but somehow is calling bullshit of Froome and SKY in this year's Tour?  Okaaaaayyyyy...
I like the fact that he threw himself in the mix as well, as if his performances of 25 years ago are somehow the baseline for all Tours de France that have passed since then. 


I'm waiting for the day he starts referring to himself in the third person, pro-wrestler-style. 



As my brother @hbstache mentioned, he's not cool enough to be Ric Flair...

And Lemond wants Froome, and SKY, to release their power numbers.  OK, Greggy-Poo, how about we do a swap.  SKY's power files for the list of ingredients that were in those "iron" shots you got before the Tour in 1989**.  Cool?  One hand washes the other...

 The profile for Ventoux taped to the bars.  It's sort of like knowing exactly when a large man will arrive at your house to give you a beating...

 Meanwhile, ON Ventoux...

 So, is Europcar the hipster team?  Am I at Le Tour, or an alleycat?

As Ric Flair would say... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

** in 1989, Lemond was getting shelled in the climbing stage of the Giro.  Between the Giro and the Tour, he was diagnosed with anemia, and was given "iron" shots, as his "Doctor" called them.  Less than 6 short weeks later, he went on to win the Tour. 
Lemond has admitted in past interviews that he does not know exactly what was in the "iron" shots...
Sure, you can raise your red cell count by receiving iron shots, or EPO shots, or blood bags...and before you call BS, EPO became available on the open market in (ready for it?) ...1989...

Enjoy your Tuesday...
