Go Floyd Go!!!!

I sort of was dissapointed with his reaction when he crossed the line. I thought that it would bring him more joy than it did. But then maybe he just is not an expressive person

If you can find any post-race video, you'll see a very different Floyd. He literally raged through that ride and it showed as he crossed the finish line. Frankie Andreu interviewed him later when he was waiting for the podium and by then Floyd was nothing but one big grin. OLN also showed a sweet moment of Amber Landis sitting on Floyd's lap giving him a big hug and kiss. Once the rage faded, I think Floyd was pretty close to ecstatic.

Thanks for the great picture Kali!

Isn't that a great photo? I-Shares must be loving that shot, seeing as how they're taking over sponsorship of the team next year. It'll be interesting to see if they have a better color scheme (thought the gold'n'yellow makes for some cool marketing).

If those are really your main reasons for disliking Floyd, be sure not to look too closely at the rest of the peloton.

Well, his big butt is just one thing. I also think that he is unattractive, plus his squeeky voice. Ugh ... That Sastry guy is cute!

Lenusik,
it does seem odd that you continue to disparage Floyd Landis on a thread someone started to cheer him on.

I said, do not jump on me. I do not diparage him as a rider, I just don't like his personality. But I have no problem stopping. I keep my opinion. That's all.

[tprevost]

well, I just think he's kinda cute... in a dorky kind of way. My respect for him, however, is HUGE, to continue giving one's best against those odds... I hate to say it, but I would have probably given up. I am SO cheering for him tomorrow!!!!!

Go Floyd GO!!!

Seems like most of the guys in the peloton are kinda dorky looking, but who cares!! They are some of the strongest athletes on the planet!!

That being said, I think Oscar Pereiro is a total hottie.

I don't want to offend Lenusik or anyone else, but I gotta say this:

It's not the Tour de Cute Guys. It's the Tour de France, one of the toughest bike races out there. I mean, heck, Rasmussen looks like a chicken, Boogerd has horse teeth, and if I weren't posting this while I'm supposed to be working I could think of a lot more examples. But they can all ride with a vengeance and that's the whole point of it. These guys, especially Floyd, should be admired for their talent, strength and guts, not their appearances. If they've got a personality quirk of some kind or happen to be cute, sure, that makes things more interesting, but it's just not what the race is about.

I loved how Floyd kept looking over his shoulder as he approached the finish line, like he kept expecting SOMEBODY to be there. Did he short out his headset with all the water he poured on himself?

Yeah - what was he thinking??? Maybe he was looking for his team car to say something to Lelangue as he came into the finish.

Habit, maybe.

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.....
