Monty on Cycling

If you have seen the Facebook page, I have been updating on the Tour de France. My favorite sprinter is Mark Cavendish, he is also my favorite cyclist. He has 3 '10 Tour de France stage wins.



His leadout man, Mark Renshaw got DQ'd for Rough Riding/Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Tyler Farrar's lead-out man, Julian Dean came down on him. Renshaw used his head to knock Dean away. After launching Cavendish, Renshaw came down on Farrar. Tyler had to put his hand on the back of Renshaw to keep him away.


If you are going to DQ Renshaw, you must also DQ Dean. If it is about safety you MUST toss both or neither of them.

Farrar abandoned in Stage 12, so in my mind justice was done.

Dan Gilbert is my Hero

“He has gotten a free pass,” Gilbert said in a phone interview with The AP. “People have covered up for (James) for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is.”

Gilbert feels James quit on the Cavs during their second-round series against the Boston Celtics, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to eliminate Cleveland.

“He quit,” Gilbert said. “Not just in Game 5, but in Games 2, 4 and 6. Watch the tape. The Boston series was unlike anything in the history of sports for a superstar.”

The Cavaliers were beaten by 32 points in Game 5. During the game, James appeared distracted and uninterested, often glaring at Cleveland’s coaches as the Cavs tried to foul to get back into the game in the second half. James also made some puzzling postgame comments, saying he had “spoiled” people with his play over seven seasons.

Gilbert also said he believes James quit on the Cavs in Game 6 of their series in 2009 against Orlando.

“Go back and look at the tape,” he said. “How many shots did he take?”

LeBron James

Everyone has an opinion on LeBron James, so here is mine.

It seems that LeBron's career in Cleveland is over. His last game in Cleveland was a game where he quit on his team, his town, & his friends. His last moment with his hometown Cavs should have been giving his best, except we get him running for the door.

So he is going to Miami & perhaps finally get a championship.

Whenever he comes back to Akron & Cleveland, he will have earned the boos and jeers. Not because he left, but because he quit on the team & fans before he left.
