    Difference between American and European fans

    Ok, now here's another expert. I'll still solve it myself (even though the discussion is evolving and going into another direction) and tell you explicitly that my original post in this thread was NOT serious. Instead, I was trying to imply that in my humble opinion, it is very hypocritical...

    Astana leads protest against radio ban

    Make them ride without the team radios. That will make for much more interesting racing. Let's see if JB is such a tactical mastermind indeed. And let's finally unleash the rider's instincts again!
