    Right, my team is picked, transfers planned for stages 2,3,4 and 5 already. (Ho ho ho)

    Have left out some big names so a little bit of a gamble for stages 1 and 2.

    And no, I’m not posting my team yet.

    Chiv, I was clearly talking to steve, even posted his remarks(calling me a bitch) and his name, about who started this and being called a criminal by Dr H and all the twisted statements and lies he put in my mouth. just making stuff up to suit.
    I.E.
    ME

    Where have I bag other Brits??????
    Funny how fast you guys turned on Wiggo, now he is a what did that bloke call him …..lol, only won your first TDF for your country then goes back to track to bring more glory to you….LMFAO Diffirent tune to what I was hearing in hear 2 months ago LOLOLOLOL

    STEVE lie’s
    Now you said you don’t hate Brits, but come straight out with some waffle about Wiggo, and how us Brits are a joke.
    AND
    Just a Hater with a big mouth. If this thread is so bad and not up to the standard of the others please feel free to vacate it. As for the Phone/camera incident so a celebrity got hacked off having his privacy invaded once upon a time no big deal it happens all the time, so what does that prove! You are sad dude grow up.

    Obvoiusly got no Idea what incident about HIS HERO I am talking about. rants what , celebrity who, personal details what ? llololo
    Where did I say Brits are a JOKE ?
    I merely pointed something out.

    AND for CHIV

    Dbl standards here
    ME
    Might as well blame Cofidis too then, for taking off then shitting themselves on hill and upsetting trains on right side (LTB/Giant) ?

    Is this not exactly what someone else said leter, yet I get harassed and called name for it ????????????? seemed like a reasonable statement with a slight joke to it to me.?

    RAY

    Or take it back further and blame Cofidis 3 man effort over to the left prior to Spartacus’ effort…..or even further back and blame the Jensie……hell let’s go all the way back and blame Kate Middleton for starting the race?

    YOU

    “You sir are turning into a blinkered tool ….

    As a true cycling fan you should be more concerned about how the riders are rather than sticking the blame anywhere …..it’s a pro Sprint there will be nudging, elbows ,heads going in all over the place but obviously because an Aussie was involved it had to be someone else’s fault D Oh”

    You did call me a tool and procede to call me a Idiot, I can live with that. But Cretin, Pom, Criminal, etc is out of line.

    Now, now, VV, be a good little boy now and apologize to the good man. He’s nice enough to play with you while you’re on that computer thing of yours. It’s not nice to be so aggressive to people you don’t know. Come inside and grandma will give you a little cookie and milk. I apologize for my grandson’s behavior.

    Cavendish.
    Only thinking and

    Cavendish.

    Only thinking and talking about himself after the crash yesterday.

    Omega Pharma – Quick-Step Cycling Team rider Mark Cavendish did not take the start of Tour de France Stage 2 on Sunday after crashing at the end of Stage 1. He met with the media outside the team bus prior to the start of the stage to talk about the decision. His responses are in the text below.

    On the crash and the decision to not start Stage 2

    “When I got on my bike after my crash yesterday it wasn’t possible to hold my handlebars. When I took my skinsuit off I saw there was something wrong with my shoulder. It was sticking out a bit like it shouldn’t. So we went to get it checked up and I was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t move my shoulder. I held a bit of optimism that maybe it was just swelling and it would go down a bit this morning, but it’s actually worse this morning. I can’t move my arm. I’m gutted, I’m majorly disappointed, but it could be worse.”

    On next steps for himself, as well as OPQS

    “I’ve got to go and get an MRI to see if it needs surgery, chances are it probably does. Unfortunately I’m likely to be out for a few weeks. I’m devastated to be fair. I’m in pain as well. I think anyone who crashes on the first day of the Tour de France is going to be disappointed. But Omega Pharma – Quick-Step is here with a strong team. We’ve got Tony Martin the world time trial champion. We’ve got Niki Terpstra, who won Paris-Roubaix. We got Matteo Trentin who won a stage of the Tour de France in his first year last year. We’ve got Jan Bakelants who won a stage in his first Tour last year and had the yellow jersey. We have a really versatile team. I’m confident we will be successful. We weren’t just here to win the sprints, we are here to be successful within the full 21 days. We’ve got a strong and motivated group. I’m still massively optimistic about the team, there’s a great ambiance, the eight guys who are there now. We’ve got an incredible team here and I’m actually devastated that I won’t be sharing that success at the Tour with them.”

    On the crash and Simon Gerrans

    “Simon and I came up, and I think two of us wanted Peter Sagan’s wheel. The others moved to the left. I wanted to go but Gerrans was there. I used my head to try to take us across the road. Gerrans wasn’t budging, I wasn’t budging, we crossed bars and we both went down. At the end of the race, in different circumstances, I would have hit the brakes and not tried to go for the win. The stage had been lost. I wanted it that bad and I tried to find a gap that wasn’t there. I spoke to Simon after the stage, I asked if he was OK, and I also spoke to him on the phone later and apologized to him. I really hope he’s OK and today’s a good stage for him. I wish him a good rest of the tour.”

    On perspective about his circumstances

    “It could be worse. You saw my helmet yesterday for Helmet for Heroes, I’ve got friends who were in Afghanistan who’ve got no legs and one arm and I think when you put that into perspective, I don’t think I’m too bad. I think I’m back in a few weeks. I’m disappointed but things could definitely be worse.”

    On what he has to say to his supporters attending the Tour de France

    “I want to say to all the supporters at the Tour to enjoy it, it’s going to be an incredible race. It was amazing to see the support that was out yesterday and I’m looking forward to watching it. I’ve been missing it like crazy but I’m looking forward to seeing it up north and then tomorrow in London.”

    Keep it going, finding it hard to argue against my points ?
    and it goes on and on… more names, some say it is a derogatory name, but it is not at all and no proof of Australian’s using it that way, when it was used in that way in UK. oh btw It is Pom , pommy or Pommie normally with a illegitimate child thrown on the end =D> .

    Have you heard Cav whinge every tour about dangerous riders and riders who shouldn’t be there. You can’t defend that , he was WAY OUT OF LINE. everyone called Cadel a dog in Giro (he didn’t endanger any lives), yet Cav’s is going to break someone’s neck one day.
    I actually made a comment to mate 12 hours earlier about Cav pushing into other teams trains back in the day!

    let me Guess, Your British :)

    I do not slag off the riders I do not like on Aussie forums just to get a rise out of people.

    I’ll ask you a question, how did I know what you had said before I even logged into the thread? What made me recognise your pseudonym and think “here we go” before I had even read your comment. It is not about whether Cav’s caused the accident or not, just your prejudicial hate of my hero, perhaps in much the same way that you wanted to defend Cadel.

    I am quite happy to argue and banter with you about it forever, but it’s pretty pointless now lets move onto the next one.


    See this is your problem (I know a good Shrink) not mine, if you seriously think I come here to SLAG OFF BRITISH RIDERS and I am not a full paying premium member who was leading the OVERALL NON PREMIUM PURIST LEADER! till last week of this SITE.

    The reason I said You must be British is because he defended Cav in what IMO was undefendble ! With the man Himself admitting so
    .
    This is the only rider I have ever slagged off, shown my reasons and provide articles why.
    YET you START this personal attack on me, I never said a word about YOU!
    And I am the unreasonable person, am I.

    These comments appear to be before I “chimed in” so I think its a bit rich the you started it name calling.

    Cavendish is a legend to me. 25 grand tour wins, world champion, put cycling in the public eye here by becoming Sports personality of the year before Wiggins had even won the tour de France. Calling him a whining dog and the most dangerous rider in the peleton is not going to stand well with me and I stand by everything I have said. In my one real name.

    I have never had a problem with Evans, or any Aussie rider, they all seem to be great athletes and good people, I do not slag off the riders I do not like on Aussie forums just to get a rise out of people. There are plenty of riders I do not like but I try to keep that to myself.

    I’ll ask you a question, how did I know what you had said before I even logged into the thread? What made me recognise your pseudonym and think “here we go” before I had even read your comment.

    I am quite happy to argue and banter with you about it forever, but it’s pretty pointless now lets move onto the next one.

    I couldn’t afford to put Gerrans in my team today because I wanted Valverde and Sagan. I hope Gerrans wins today because it would be a nice story and I am a big fan of Orica generally, I live near Neil Stephens in the summer, and was pretty upset that Bling crashed before the tour as I had high hopes of him being a real star this year. Still think he will be.

    Let’s move on!


    Lets move on when you clearly in the wrong attacking me.
    After I pointed out you started this personal attack here.

    What is so wrong with what is written above .
    PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME..
    what did I saywrong there?
    oh Cav is a professional sportsmen open to crisitism.

    I DID NOT START A PERSONAL ATTACK ON A MEMBER OF THIS FORUM.

    This is a public forum about cycling , I seen far worse here written about other riders then I have ever written. Dog and Tool???
    Actually lets go back and see what was written about Cadel in Giro, yet not a word about Quintana a few stages later, who is being pulled over the coals atm by UCI
    Lets move on when you clearly in the wrong attacking me.

    U never called a footballer a name mate hey ever, I bet I wouldn’t have to look back far in here to find some. I never called u anything. YOU are way out of line.

    Never bagged Cav’s ability, but I nearly choked when some said is he the best ever last year when he won his 200th stage, Ever heard of a bloke called Zabel .400 +

    Yeah Lance Armstrong was a legend too, Bet you called him some names , even before he was proven guilty ?

    I still bought him in too Johnny <:P along with The Valve and 1 pen for Tom Slagter who I think is a chance of taking Yellow today. I actually forgot to bring Sagan in today( huge worry ), as have a few fantasy’s and thought I already had him in this one, with the constant defending myself and feeling a bit beaten down I just forgot ….OPPS… =))

    P.s The Rider I mentioned earlier getting kicked off tour for Headbutting, wsnt Browny but Mark Renshaw who was leading out for Cav at the time at HTC. both Aussies both ridden in Rabobank colours. (seems I am getting old . memory) #o
