Lance Armstrong

[TiStar]

I like the guy

They're probably praying he doesn't crash, get a DUI and blame it on his girlfriend while using one of their products

BTW, does anyone even use any of that stuff? -7 is bottom feeding

The podcast is not fully informed but Hincapie is an asset with his assessments and inside knowledge . For me a def watch. For the Lance baggers , move on and use an original thought . It has been a while since he was a thing . Lance is stoked . Move forward bro.

Hincapie is a thing. He always was. By 'insider knowledge' you mean complicity, so call it what it is.

The book or the movie?

as a Kiwi I listen to these guys who are current and this week they are talking with Richie about changing diapers, 1999 and whether F bombs are acceptable and why they won't use C bombs on the pod. They also challenge LA on THe Move to up his game. George last week was talking about his falls in Nice. Good fun.

I thought Livestrong got rid of all the interns?

Eh. Over time my opinion of Lance has softened. He cheated. He got busted. At this point who really gives a shyte anyway???

Some folks will always hate him because of how he treated certain people, not because of the doping.
I've always been a fan as I simply view it as a pro sport, and he (and Ulrich) made the TDF really exciting to watch for several years. The TDF has been boring as hell since his exit IMHO.

I temporarily subscribed to ESPN to watch the US Open, and watched the most recent 2 part Lance movie. My takeaway is that Floyd Landis is a way more compelling figure--why doesn't someone do a movie about HIM?

Landis, didn't wind up a millionaire from cycling, maybe from selling pot, came off as a sniveling a-kisser until he didn't get what he wanted. The fall wasn't as far. While lance might get sympathies for cancer and starting livestrong Landis didn't and what little he did came off as self enrichment. Will be remembered for being a tattle tell rather than achievements on a bike. flame on.

Nobody ever heard of Floyd landis.

The insider knowledge he is referring to happens on the podcast. Hincapie seems to have a lot of friends in the current peloton and gets interesting information that he shares.

Famous is not always interesting. A good writer can always turn an unknown into famous but famous to interesting may be a tough job.
