I used to play along with the Greg=Evil that Lance always dished out, I'm sorry to say. Lance played that Bad Guys game very well, and it was easy to get caught in the trap if you didn't take a step back and investigate the other side. Greg didn't do everything right, but he was trying to speak some truths about his sport and its icons, truths that have gained increasing credibility. And my goodness, if people can be a fan of the self-described jerk that is Lance, why are they so hard on Greg's human foibles? I think he's gotten a bad rap, and deserved better.<BR/><BR/>Nalgenegirl - thanks, I'm from your neck of the woods and have enjoyed your blog as well!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828075368106586028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594143940025689625.post-34591302465512477782008-07-08T07:59:00.000-05:002008-07-08T07:59:00.000-05:00What a great blog!

But you seem to have an open, embracing(?) opinion of G Lemond. He just confuses me! Maybe you just feel his achievements should be honored, regardless?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594143940025689625.post-7764210575223329612008-07-07T22:56:00.000-05:002008-07-07T22:56:00.000-05:00I know!

That's exactly what Will wanted to do, but the guy who was in the car said no! Ahh! It was priceless to have JV in the booth, though, those little grunts were agonizing! D. was strong, too, he probably would've been able to stay on Will's wheel anyway.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828075368106586028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594143940025689625.post-61997256423648599772008-07-07T22:49:00.000-05:002008-07-07T22:49:00.000-05:00Thank you Julie for expressing so many of my felt ...Thank you Julie for expressing so many of my felt but not articulating thoughts, the Fisher Price reference is priceless. What do you think of JV in the booth when his best friend and best (so far) chance for a stage win is still on the road? Maybe a voice of experience in his ear might of made the difference. All in all a great day for the boys in argyle and tomorrow is another day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594143940025689625.post-35690228044554389892008-07-07T22:48:00.000-05:002008-07-07T22:48:00.000-05:00Julie :-) What a day today?!? So happy for Will!...Julie :-) What a day today?!? So happy for Will! I was on the phone with John at the end of the stage and then watching VS tonight with JV up in the booth - was anybody not on the edge of their seat pulling for him? Great stuff. So exciting!<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow should be pretty good! C and Millar are both in good form so I hope they both give Tony a run!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934593482658430814noreply@blogger.com
