This is kind of funny and a bit ironic. Lance shows us how to fix a flat. No kidding.

That's really funny. The asterisk part is hilarious and the dirty bicycle mechanic look was great. He still has that edge to his attitude...so he doesn't come off as "The Helpful Friendly LBS Guy"... rather, in the video he's more like my LBS Owner who acts disinterested in you and is hard to hold any kind of conversation with (horrible customer service skills).

Props to Lance for doing something that is only going to be funny because of how silly the situation is (Disgraced Champion looking greasy, showing us how to do a basic task).

I kinda agree.
A sort of dark humor ...

Why not put the valve cap back on? I don't understand that.

It does not serve a function.

Rule 60. http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/#60

Ironically a guy who called his physio a 'fat ' and threatened to sue her over exposing drug use is worried about being perceived as 'cool'.

Using the vintage bike was a nice touch.

I liked his "pretty good for a guy who just learned how to do this...."

I personally put a bit more attention into making sure the tube isn't pinched, but if you're going for speed that's pretty thorough.

I assume he was running tubless. I can't really tell what he did (I have never had tubless) but he go it back up and running in 1:30.

I think he gave up and rode it with the flat to the finish.

I think you are right. In the video he says something about 7 miles. The text of this video says he road the last 8 with a flat. I think it is the same race.
