JDL replied to Trent's discussion Lance to appear on Oprah!
"I doubt too many guys bother doping for the TDU.. Blood tranfusions and EPO are most effective in 3 week grand tours as I understand it, not predominantly flat 6 day races.. Was Lance as doped as he used to be during his comeback? Unlikely with the…"

JDL replied to Trent's discussion Lance to appear on Oprah!
"I respect people's right to still be a fan of Lance.. I loved watching the way he went about winning his tours too.. But to believe he didn't dope in light of all of the evidence out there now is silly.. Time will tell, we'll see what…"

JDL replied to Dstone's discussion Lance Armstrong accepts lifetime ban.
"  A big day for the sport it seems... USADA "reasoned decision" about to drop... In the leadup George Hincapie has released a statement: http://www.georgehincapie.com/news/Statement-from-George-Hincapie/  I cringe at the thought…"

JDL replied to MARK FERGUSON (SPARTACUS)'s discussion Next Aussie TDF Winner?
"100 odd years before our first winner..? So it's highly likely the next aussie winner won't even come from this generation, but Richie Porte would be my bet if it did.."

JDL replied to RD6's discussion One for the GW, be aware when descending Sedan Hill
"Hope/glad he's OK, hopefully the bike is too.. Not sure that road needs us to be more "aware" than any other.. We should be aware any time we get on a bike... Great footage/editing.."

JDL replied to Dave L's discussion Big ring up Norton Summit
"Doing hills totally out of the saddle is good fun.. Probably a tad easier on your legs but will use more energy and give you a great aerobic workout.. I did Anstey all the way out of the saddle recently.. I didn't really intend to but started…"

JDL replied to Dave L's discussion Big ring up Norton Summit
"Another issue is why some riders seem to think you have to always ride the big ring on the flat.. You've got 20-odd gear combinations, pick whichever one is most comfortable for the wind/terrain/speed etc... If you'd like your chain etc to…"

JDL replied to Dave L's discussion Big ring up Norton Summit
"Basically a 34 tooth small chain ring instead of a 39 and a 50 (I think) tooth big chain ring instead of a 53.. I haven't got them so can't talk much about the benefits etc but the intent is you have more lower/easier gears for…"

JDL replied to Dave L's discussion Big ring up Norton Summit
"Agreed, I've never got the whole climbing in the big gear thing.. Climb in the hardest ratio you like, which ring you're on to make that ratio is irrelevant... "Big ring" sounds tough though ;)"

JDL replied to Don Plush's discussion Coast to Coast no longer
"A "loop" ride certainly has its advantages, especially from a central location like the city.. Part of the reason RLC is so popular I suspect... I've gone the C2C a couple of times, years ago, it was a great ride from memory but I…"

"I'd rather come across a snake than what happened to this guy I think.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2oymHHyV1M Makes magpie attacks look pretty tame too.."
