... Compare their BMI to those with the ultimate leg strength: powerlifters. How would powerlifters do in a prologue? Get me in the Tour and we can find out. :-) No need, we can predict the results: You'd suck. If you had the ability to do really well in the prologue, then you wouldn't need any help getting into the TdF. Andy Coggan |

All this talk about climbers and sprinters in the prologue reminded me of a few years ago where Marcel Wust rode easy in the prologue, then blasted up the one minor hill to win the KOM jersey for the first week. Think he even won a bunch sprint while wearing polka dots. It was pretty ridiculous having a pure sprinter in the KOM jersey like that, though not as ridiculous as dumbass continuing to argue in this thread. NS In doing so, he foiled Frankie Andreu, who had the same plan to grab the KOM jersey. He did win a sprint in the Polka Dot (man bites dog), JP Von Poppell had done it prior to him... |

Not to put too fine a point on it, but since your understanding in this area is stretched thin how would you know? Oh dear. Perhaps you were unaware that this is usenet and your silly, made-up credentials don't mean anything here. True, but serious for-real credentials lend credence to an educated man's arguement. FWIW, contributors to this thread have included: 1) a widely-published PhD in exercise physiology who specializes in time trials, has studied elite cyclists and their performances, and is probably working on what will be *the* book on cycling power; Why should we believe a PhD? They are frequently dead wrong, you know. Not when they address well researched topics within their chosen field, and certainly not when compared with the unwashed masses who try to wax intelligent on topics they know nothing about. 3) a guy who's been in about 600 races. (There are others in this thread whose experiences are considerable -- it's just that I don't know their bona fides off the top of my head). I'm sorry that you all have such boring taste in sports. But doing the same thing over and over again doesn't make you an expert, it just makes you a dull, uninteresting child. Like pointing skiis down a mountain and heading for the bottom? There's nothing more to alpine skiing than that. Exciting? Sure, but if you've seen one you've seen them all.. If you think that good and accurate information hasn't been put forth in this thread, then I'd suggest you reconsider. I'd posit that perhaps you bicycle racing boys should be debating whether there is a hyphen in "anal-retentive". What's to debate? There's no hyphen in anal retentive. |

He'd know because you'd condescend to point out exactly what posters and posts you're talking about. And before you rip into me too, go look at the Newsgroups line. We don't all know the members of your li'l club. Thank you for condescending to our lil club by ripping into Robert with your first post here in 5 years. Perhaps you would be so kind to enlighten us more now by lecturing us about the NG etiquette of lurking, or at least understanding the topic you want to post about. Thank you so much, Ms Manners before you make a total prat of yourself you might do as Mary suggested and look at the newsgroups line!

No matter that I've NEVER been in her state, I live three thousand miles away, and I never threatened her in anyway, unless exposing her as a vicious, unprincipled liar is a threat. Let's discuss Mary Malmros's participation in an ongoing criminal conspiracy that has threatened MY life, committed scores of felonies, and smeared me with the grossest defamations. Fair enough? OK, let's hear it. Scores of felonies? |
