Armstrong's podium speech....
Thanked Ullrich and Basso but was that a swipe at those who say the Tour is dope fueled ? He called them the 'cynics'..... the tour is won on 'hard work' he said and 'hard work' only........

Re: Armstrong's podium speech....
Yeah it wasn't much.... not very quotable.... he even got angry with someone in the crowd when they shouted out 'what about Basso' when he was thanking Ullrich.... he said 'I'll get to Basso ok !'.......................... he even said that he won't do it in French because he's French is not so good....... which meants 98% of the people there had no idea what he was saying !

Re: Armstrong's podium speech....
Felt like he was kinda patronising Jan and Ivan like they were his children, I mean give them (Jan especially) more respect.

Won't and Can't are two different words. I dont know the exact quote but I think it was more like "I will do it in English because my French is not so good." |

Re: Armstrong's podium speech....
really bad speech
didn't have much good to say about basso and seemed to struggle to say anything about him we all know that it is impossible to finish in the top 15-20 without doping so i am glad he is gone |

Re: Armstrong's podium speech....

Ok here is part of the speech. Tell me where the patronising took place. "It was hard for me, hard for my team of course," said Armstrong for the final time. "Basso...and Jan has been a great rival. It's tough to race against him, he's too much of a friend. He's prehaps the future of the Tour de France. So, Ivan: next year, this is your step; or Jan: this might be your step next year, I don't know, but I'm outta here, so..." |

It came right about when he was talking about the fact that he would be gone next year, so you losers could win next year ''maybe you could win Ivan, maybe you could win Jan'' is what I interpreted but you've edited a lot out. |

Re: Armstrong's podium speech....
Here is another part to the speech from eurosport. I will eventually find the whole speech. I cant wait to find the exact quote about the English/French part. Also it will be on the replay tonight.
To those who don't believe in cycling, I feel sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles." "Vive le Tour. Forever." |

Really? You have some source of FACTS that no one else has? No? I didn't think so.....just another conspiracy twat regurgitating what other rumor mongers of spit up. I know it takes a lot of energy to actually think on your own, but try it sometime before you start spraying crap. Impossible my *ss. What exactly do you know about what is possible and what isn't? |
