Go Mayo Go! Iban the Man , Can!!
Now we have a genuine exotic underdog to root for.
I hope Mayo tears up a mtn stage and drops Lance by about two minutes like Pantani did to hundreds of thousands of absolutely screaming tifosi. I think Lance has done great things for the cancer sufferer communi5ty, but he shamed himself after that stage by calling Pantani " a little shit starter". I'm sure he cringes when he thinks of that now. Mayo prob can't win but it will be great if he can set a stage on fire to break the boredom of another perfectly planned, incredibly funded Postal How does that money work anyway? Does postal have like twice the budget for rider salaries? Maybe they should limit budgets like the limit bike weights. Have more teams instead. Lance, please stop winning this race and do the Giro so cycling can do something new! |

I've never noticed your name in this newsgroup before, so I guess you're new to the sport and don't realize that A SIXTH WIN IN THE TOUR DE FRANCE WOULD BE HISTORIC! Historic means new ... never been done before. Bob C. |

It's a little embarrassing with postal just destroying everyone in every disdcipline. I'm curious about budgets. Is postal's budget like way bigger than everyone else's, meaning the supporting riders are way better; meaning eki and GH destroy all monsters who might oppose LA while everyone else just can't compete on salary? |

The situation was about the same last year after the TTT, BTW. One of Lance's strengths has always been recovery - remarkable consistency from stage to stage, and even his bad days weren't that bad. Not so true in 2003. As riders age, recovery is one of the first things to go (at least, so Museeuw said). He might win, but it's also likely that when the end comes, it will come without much warning. > I'm curious about budgets. > Is postal's budget like way bigger than everyone else's, > meaning the supporting riders are way better; meaning eki > and GH destroy all monsters who might oppose LA while > everyone else just can't compete on salary? No, it isn't. It's one of the higher budgets, but there is only about a factor of 2 between the smallest div 1 teams and the biggest. Many of the others pay more than one star - like Ullrich and Zabel. USPS concentrates on one race, presumably in budget as in training. An analysis of 2002 budgets: http://www.cycling4all.com/a_efft02.php Some 2004 budgets from http://www.velonews.com/tour2004/team/ BLB: 7.2M US$ CSC: 5.4 (really?? Barney Riis ought to write a Frugal Shopper column) EE: 7.2 FDJ: 6.6 IBB: 6.6 LS: 7.2 PHO: 9.6 QSD: 9.6 RAB: 10.8 TMO: 14.4 USP: 9.0 Robert Chung gets a prize if he can deduce the Euro/USD ratio that Velonews used, from these data alone. |

Regarding the TTT, if you disregard the Gewiss effort in 1995 (for obvious reasons), the USPS in 2004 was the 2nd fastest, and the fastest TTT over 50km in Tour history. In fact, the T-Mobile effort this year was on the same par as the USPS effort LAST year (52.77kph) |

Of course, this ratio should realy be expressed as 10/9 (or 1.11) USD/EUR. |

Although it is true that Heras never complained about the difference between Postal's and Kelme's budgets. And I think it is also true that it is hard to imagine Mayo as a Tour winner while riding for EE. Bob Schwartz cvcc@execpc.com |
