yes or no?

endurance222

That is a tough one, but I think that he will. I know Johan has already spoken about Ivan being the leader, but I think levi will be a good support. Supposedly they get along great, and heck Ivan rode support in the TdC just a bit ago. We will see though, it is all dependant on the egos.

Will Hincapie be ready for the Roubix/will he ride a little hurt to compete?

El Loto

If he does ride he won't place. Going to Roubaix would be stupid anyway.


Will Thomas Dekker stick it to the old men in the next 2 years?

Bikelyst

Yes, unless he breaks. (I have absolutely no idea what i am talking about.)

Is Bianchi the best bike manufacturer of all time?

Eden

No -I'm pretty sure they make most of them in Tiawan along with all the other bikes anyway these days.

Do you think Discovery has made the mistake (ala past T-Mobile teams) of having too many chiefs and not enough Indians this year?

El Loto

No.

Have Astana made the mistake of having too many chiefs and not enough Indians this year?

lischoux

No- They will have designated chiefs for each big race.

Will Rasmussen win the KOM in the 2007 Tour de France?

Sorry, I am going out of the threads format. But, is that supposed to be a denouncer of quality because it is made in Taiwan versus Italy???

Scotttri

,

Yes, if he's able to go for it

Who will win the paris nice proluge today?

Eden

Nope - my bike was made in Tiawan - my only point is that everyone is pretty much the same as eveyone else these days. Many brands of bike are made in the same factories. Sure there are some differences in design. I've heard that Specialized and Giant are all made in the same place, but their geometries are very different. But still none of the mass produced brands really stands out as particularly special over any others these days to me.

Isn't the game Yes or No?

Yes.
Is Ian Thorpe guilty of doping?

patch70

Yes - same as any other super elite athlete in any sport where there is money to be made.

On the subject of Australian sportsmen, is Ben Cousins a complete idiot?

senator52

I'm a huge eagles fan, but Cousins is an idiot, so is Kerr (but wow how good was he on the weekend!!!) and James Harvey (for those who don't know he was also implicated in the same thing; played for the Perth Wildcats). Surely anyone learns quicker than Cousins, bolting from the booze bus (cept i reckon he was on crack at the time...), then getting done with the crack dealer, then hitting the town again getting trashed at the peak of his criticism...oh my he is an idot!

Was Operacion Peurto a waste of time in the end, with the lack of convictions? It seems everyone has got off free, whilst all that blood was found, someone was doing it!

endurance222

No way, just because there was a lack of convictions doesnt mean that the effect wasnt there. Because of this, the drug testing and cheating in the sport will be cut down, hopefully creating a cleaner sport. Look at the move from CSC, they completely redid their team in order to stay away from the bad media of drug use. You are going to have to have some real marbles to cheat now.

What do you all think of the posibility of the tour of California having a route on part of their highway, especially since they cant close it down. All that stands between some of the best cyclists in the world and a 70 mph semi is a bunch of orange cones. Check out www.thepaceline.com to read a bit more
