Lance: The Official Lance Armstrong Thread

Wiens beat Landis last year so I'd say he's not too much of an underdog.

 

I can't even imagine racing 100 miles on a mountain bike... let a lone on the road! Hat is off to anybody that competes in this race.

 

Oh come on now!

You could do this with your eyes closed!

 

Lol

Pat, If I tried doing that I'd probably fall in another hole..... The VQ is the longest race I've competed in to date... and that was enough for me!

 

Yea.

But think how happy you would be when you were finished!

 

That's actually a different bad-ass Dave. That's Dave Harris, currently based in St. George. He's been absolutely owning the un-supported ultra-distance scene for a few years now.

I was gonna say I thought Wiens lived in Gunnison and was married to someone that isn't Lynda Wallenfelds, but he could've gotten divorced, moved, yadda yadda...

Thanks for clarifying.

 

i just noticed that the race organizer for the tahoe sierra 100 posted on empty-beer that both floyd and lance will be at that race as well.

i will believe it when i see it...but at least i could say that i lined up with the guys. about a month till race day.

donkey??

 

Lance will cancel due to "a scheduling conflict". He doesn't want a showdown with Floyd.

 

I've heard Floyd is the same way. I was in the SM100 last year when Floyd raced it. He and Harlan Price were duking it out. Harlan had the edge in the tech stuff but Floyd would pass him on the flats and road sections.

 

Here's Lance's bike just posted on Velonews

Pretty trick

 

Would have been cool if he went with the 29er.

 

LOL! You have such an imagination! :lol:

 

Lance Armstrong racing Leadville 100

So Lance Armstrong is racing the Leadville 100 this year.

Is he going to beat Dave Weins?

Discuss.

 

There is another thread on this already, but the answer is absolutely... I don't know!!

Floyd Landis will also be racing.

I have nothing (polite) to say, but these bubs are already discussing it

 

Surprise, surprise! Lance went with the Trek, and the check that came along with it!!

 

Um, aren't both brands owned by the same company? :?:

I think he liked the fully 26er better for the specific application.

 

I don't know?

But I never let facts get in the way of my point of view! After all, I am a right wing Christian Republican!! :lol:

 

go Dave GO

Dave should win. He's done it five times. I hope he takes it. 43 years and killing it. Go Dave Go!

However, there's other super hardcores racing this thing also, so somebody else may pull an upset. No question, Lance can rock Le Tour with a team of ultra-strong roadies, but alone, at altitude in the dirt on a one day race? Hmmm, maybe, but I doubt it.

I'd love to see some TV and/or on-line coverage of the event. Anyone know of a way to get coverage?

Hopefully Dave's bike won't fail him, this thing looks questionable:
