Of course you're not taking any chances, Flanders was won last weekend.

Is that a track world's program in your pants, LANCE, or are you just happy to see HEINIE?

Responding to the origin of this thread - only r.b.r could get excited about GH winning a second-rate mid-week Belgain stage race without crossing a single finish line first, and translate that into winning arguably the best one-day race in the world. Held on a Sunday, it is.

I declare: If GH wins Flanders on Sunday, I WILL NEVER POST ANOTHER
WORD TO R.B.R.

-RJ, not really taking any chances here.

Bravo to George! This will increase the value of his autographed photo on my bike room wall.

A question--How many riders have won de Panne and gone on to win the Ronde the same year. I can't access the de Panne statistics.

Good for ol' George. Ekimov took it a few years and a few retirements ago.

Can't wait till Sunday, my favorite race of all...

Try FUB (Frei Universitat Berlin) They maybe have an English language option, but even if not it is quite easy to determine what few items they want in the German Language captioned input fields.

Danke schön, Davey and Robert.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see what Bjarne Riis could get out of George?
He seems to be someone who can bring riders to new levels. Lets hope that's not just new hematocrit levels.

Happy Vimy Ridge day Kyle, also a nice day for a stroll up the Via Dolorosa.

I see you use Micro$oft's Outlook Express, a programme and indeed Operating System with which I'm not at all familiar, but experiment a little looking at the Date, X-Sent and X-Received-Date headers. Likewise check the Path and Reference headers which may also be of help.

Also to get an idea of what, if any, headers are being zapped by ISPs and Relays along the path, try a BCC to yourself so you know exactly what was sent, and when if you need to compare.

Significantly though, your NNTP-Posting-Host header is not showing, leading me to believe that the headers, as booted out the door by Outlook Express are being rewritten and a prime guess here would be that your ISP is the culprit as they attempt to conceal, for some ridiculous reason, your IP number. Check the headers on this message and you should see somewhere that I am 24.101.200.190 and/or cpe000423176ea9-cm0f2069983361.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com as resolving either will produce the other with the right net utility (ask if you need one, I have some that my kids are using).

Hey, how about he keeps his July gig, and puts a few on the mantle for himself?
Happy with that? (just curious) --TP
