Hey all,
I cleaned up the blog format a little to snazzy it up. Not many posts lately, but wanted to try to keep up with it now for the remainder of the winter until Sedona at least.
Sorry Kevin, wish you were coming to ride!!!
Rock Racing got dissed related to Sevilla, Hamilton and Botero due to the Spaniards re-opening Operation Peurto and Michael Ball is fighting back. Looks like Cipollini is riding in ToC and he has been training a little, not just hangin with the ladies in Monaco! - Operation Puerto isnt even about the riders this time around - only doc Fuentes...and the national federations cleared all the riders - but the WADA idiots and the UCI are trumping the national federations...
In other news of the even stupider variety, the ASO (Tour De France organizers) are banning Astana from all of their races due to the damages te team has caused the Tour. Now the team spent greater than half-a-mil to the CSC anti-doping guru to fix their problem and went out and hired all new staff and riders so as not to look the same as last year. Telecom changed the name of their outfit, but same management, Slipstream has a few dopers (ala confessed ex-dopers) in their midst and there are several other teams that have had riders (Caisse d'Epargne - you know, the old Liberty Seguros) that were worse than the new Astana Team...Perhaps Bruyneel should have changed colors and got a fake "lead" sponsor so as to look like they were different like High Road did. Or maybe he should donate money to lobby L'Equippe as they run the tour and all of ASO's events anyway and get all the leaks from the labs, which in my opinion discredit all the french lab results anyway - otherwise, why would they leak them?
regardless, I am out riding in the snow and shit and happy to be spending less time following the pros in France!
Did someone say Freedom Fries???
