Hey,
Seeing how both riders are set to square off in the 2004 Dodge Tour de Georgia, we are all in for a treat. Normally, I wouldn't even think about this type of comparison. However, in this case, Gord will definitely prevail. Super Mario was good a few years back, but is nearing age 40, and has only completed ONE World Cup this year, finishing well back in the field at Milan-San Remo. He was a disgrace to the World Champion's jersey last year, racing about 20 days, with maybe one or two wins. Gord has been still able to mix it with the best of them. He did great in Malaysia in January, taking the sprinter's jersey, and just beat Chris Horner in the prologue tt at Sea Otter. Too bad Petachii sp? with his 30 wins last year couldn't come here. Or even better, maybe not as a pure sprinter, but Johan Museeuw. The old gimp has good form for about two more weeks in his life, and could have had a nice US trip, but will fade away in the car at Amstel this week instead. Too bad. Gord will bitch slap Mario in the sprint finishes next week in Georgia. LA will bitch slap Horner in the TT and two mountain stages, including the mountaintop finish. Gord sprinter jersey, LA overall. Why hold the race? Thanks, Ronde CHUMPion |

Do you think this disgraceful rider that won two stages in the Giro while wearing that world champs jersey can get credit for both wins the next time you talk out of your ass? > Gord has been still able to mix it with the best of them. He did > great in Malaysia in January, taking the sprinter's jersey, and just > beat Chris Horner in the prologue tt at Sea Otter. It is not at all clear who would win. Fraser has the advantage mostly because he will be accustomed to racing those distances with those riders (knowing whose wheels to grab or avoid) and so on. Mario can still sprint better than most pros and calling him a discrace is just stupid of you. > Too bad Petachii sp? with his 30 wins last year couldn't come here. > Or even better, maybe not as a pure sprinter, but Johan Museeuw.

Why would a guy at the top of his game take a trip to a country that barely manages to care when their own Tour legend, who barely got noticed until he starts dating pop stars? It really depends on who Johan is dating and since I think he is living the life of a boring faithful husband, his options are limited to celebrating his career and its end back in that little continent that tends to organize races over crappy roads instead of looking for nice smooth parking lots to spin around. > Gord will bitch slap Mario in the sprint finishes next week in > Georgia.

You should spend your time at the NGs of boxing fans. Trash talk like that makes more sense to them. You might also try some of the hockey NGs since the playoffs are in the first round and their should be plenty of teams that will take great pleasure in your trolls and probably will not notice the idiocy. > Thanks, > Ronde CHUMPion Which one? You must be one of the newer chumps that is a bit weak on cycling knowledge and all around wit. |

< spew > Dude, put down the crack pipe. Gord didn't win a single stage in Malaysia, against a bunch of sprinters that no one has ever heard of. Mario is no longer the best in the world. But he has a bunch of seconds behind Petacchi who is the best in the world right now and light years ahead of the people Gord was not beating in Malaysia. If Gord was sprinting at the same level as even a fading Super Mario then he would be doing real races against real sprinters. Bob Schwartz cvcc@execpc.com |
