Kill The Coward Within
Saturday, June 28, 2008 Kill The Coward Within This is my comment on the video: "Lance Armstrong IS the greatest athlete, and some people who are probably very weak and mentally challenged, can't see how great he is, so they get jealous and try to insult Lance with doping allegations. To those pathetic people who don't like Lance Armstrong, I have a message: Stop eating hamburgers and drinking beer, GET A BICYCLE and get fit! Lazy butts!"

Rate Lance Armstrong Survives Cycling Accident

Original at LIVING STRONG AND HEALTHY BLOGGER external link    Sun, Feb 8

By Livingstrong(dramarthacastro@yahoo.com) Tour Down Under Stage 3 was 'D' stage of hell. It was a carnage, with crashes, heat, winds that reached gusts of 85 km/h and nine riders were forced out of the race with injuries after the crash. The cycling crash occurred very early in the stage at the 12 km right before the breakaway of a group of 16 riders where Lance Armstrong, O'Grady and Michael Rogers were. Fortunately, Lance Armstrong avoided the crash and finished in 39th in the general classification with only + 0:29 seconds, which it's great. He was in 68 place after stage 2. Another cyclist that I adore (not as much as I adore Lance, of course), George Hincapie, is in 12 place in the Overall Classification. I would love to see Georgie in the podium. He is a great cyclist and deserves a good win.   [read the full post]
