Go Floyd Go!!!!

[snapdragen]

Kali - this reminds me of an incident last year on "another board". A woman posted a "Who's the cutest guy in the peloton?" thread in the ProCycling forum. You have thought she announced she ate babies for breakfast. The men were howling. This from a board that also has a Podium Girls forum!

Oh good, I'm not alone.....I kinda like his looks; a bit quirky, not pretty. Mind you, he's no Tom Boonen or Georgie H.....

Yup, see I knew I liked you Snap! There's some sort of boyish deviousness (is that a word?) in that face; especially when he smiles... just kinda cute I tend to like the guys that are a bit quirky... especially when they can ride a bike like Floyd can!!!

... but you're right, for 'classic' good looks, George and Tom are right 'up' there!

T~

Oh goodness, just saw Sarah's pic of Mario.... YUMMY!

Comon ladies, this is a women's board. Where is the problem in talking about looks? None of us will probably ride behind them to observe their rear end. so why no brag about them for a bit. I thought it would be fuuny. I wish I had more spear time at work.

I'm tellin' Blaine!!!!

Hee hee hee... couldn't resist!

Trac'

Har har har!! I think he suspects already.

My favorite part of the whole World Cup thing was when they would trade jerseys at the end of the games. I would always be there during the last 2 minutes of regulation, going, "Okay, you can start trading jerseys now." OT's were a real bummer at times.

During an interview he did for "All Things Considered" on NPR yesterday he said that he shorted uot his earpiece aout halfway up the last hill, so he had no idea where anyone else was.

I sure wish they'd ummm, do something about the front view. Know what I mean??

Landis' descent yesterday was so graceful - like a beautiful ballet. I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. He makes it look so easy!

Lenusik - I feel the same way about Lance as you feel about Landis so don't take offense. Every so often I make a disparaging comment and get jumped on. Keeps things lively!!

Bottom line - if I was on the side of the road, I know my TE sisters would stop and help! (especially if I had chocolate...)

It makes me sad to think that being good looking, or not, is even taken into consideration when one determines if they like a racer, or not.

He is an amazing athlete, and a sight to behold when he is racing his heart out, whether it is charging up a hill or flying down one. I couldn't care less what his face or his ears look like while I'm watching him on a bike.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing good looking men too, but it really dosen't determine how I feel about them. I have friends that turn heads, others that look ordinary, and some that could be considered down-right ugly by most other people. Who cares? It really isn't what counts, especially for an athlete. It is their ability I admire and respect, not their looks...If I wanted to see good looking men I could just pick up an Esquire mag. I watch athletics to see talanted people...who cares what they look like...they can do amazing things!!!

Sorry, just couldn't help myself...I had to say something, after all this a discussion Forum.

What I saw in yesterday's race was Floyd's heart... he put it right out there on the finish line...

WoW! Mario is preeety...

[FreshNewbie]

While I completely agree that an athlete should be admired for being talented in what he/she does, athletes also have personalities and ways in which they carry themselves. So, I think that a lot of people who follow the tour will pick their favories and not so not only based on their performance but also how they see that person/athlete reacts to certain things, responds, talks, smiles, etc. So I don't think that we should eliminated the fact that admiring somebody as an athlete also means like him as a person and liking who they are outside of sports world. A lot of people don't like Lance because rumor goes that he is an errogant guy.

I have to admit I have a beef about Lance. Dunno if he's arrogant or not. But I have a hard time with a guy who dumps his wife for Sheryl Crow (who looks exactly like Kristin Armstrong, but has more money and hasn't had 3 kids) and then dumps Sheryl Crow the week she finds out she has breast cancer.

Kinda gets up my nose a bit.

I don't know what happended with Sheryl, but I've always heard the first divorce was Kirsten's idea. She didn't like that he was gone so much and I don't think that being married to a celebrity agreed with her. I can more than understand it. When they were married was before he made his comeback and subsequent rise to celebrity so I don't think she could have known what she was getting into.

[FreshNewbie]

From what i understood from an interview with Sharol she said that her and Lance wanted different things. He wanted family and get married and she thought that marriage might not be for her. Then again we never know

[chickwhorips]

you know living out in the bush i miss all the good gossip. i never know whats going on in the "real world". i'm so far behind.

SWOON

... or Mario...

I kind-of feel like I shouldn't be looking at that picture at work. I keep expecting to be reported to the HR department for inappropriate materials.
