Having read some of the more fawning comments of the admirers, I have changed my mind and voted to hate the guy.
Well, this thread has certainly been an eye-opener so far as the mean-spiritedness of some people goes.
To find ways of having a pop at him for his charity work takes a really "special" attitude.
I wonder what the sum total of those people's efforts and achievements in that direction is - roughly fick all I would suspect.

Ah, so the proper options for the poll should have been 'grovelling admirer' or 'sick twisted bastard' then? Obviously questioning His sanctity puts you beyond the pale...Bigtwin said:

That's because the French have had two Brits ride into their Tour and do very very well, enough for them to pull their baguettes out of Lance and stick them into Cav and Wiggo.

I can hear Yello starting to twitch...Crankarm said:
Interestingly, one rider who the French never really liked much (because he was arrogant, aloof and apparently invincible) was a chap called Anquetil. IIRC (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) he wasn't American or British...

Not so my friend: within the year to date I have effectively given a good three-quarters of my pre-tax income to good causes. Not something I can afford to do every year, admittedly, else I would need to swap my small 25 year-old caravan for a cardboard box

I think it might take more than that...Crackle said:
He's a tough b*stard is Bertie! I think he smells a bit, but he did well to cope with the whole situation.*

Sorry, but Lance is a complete twat.
His last twitter message on Contador was pure corporate bullshit and apparently said with no sense of irony, 'hey, pistolero, there is no 'I' in team'... hmm, well, last time I looked there is no 'I' is 'arrogant self-gratification artist' either.
Oh, and this after Armstrong had not attended the post-TdF Astana team celebration dinner, instead chosing to dine with RadioShack execs. What a team-player!
I am not surprised Contador says there is 'zero' relationship between them.

Lance is the best rider thats been around for years. No matter what people think of his attitude, you cant knock him for what he has done for cycling.He is a LEGEND thats why everybody wants to see him get beat.
Its the same for the Tiger Woods and co of this world.
