    March 19: Milan - San Remo 2011 298km

    Hahaha yeah, and it's always womens tennis from some obscure Polish tournament, with no one sitting in the crowd at the venue! :D Good point about how they do usually stick with the cycling telecast even when it goes over the scheduled finish time.

    March 19: Milan - San Remo 2011 298km

    Except their schedules are REALLY innacurate, and they cut off the presentation ceremony before we got to see Goss on the podium. Oh, and Sean Kelly's monotone voice is incredibly sleep-inducing if you're even slightly tired! :) Apart from those not-insignificant drawbacks, the australian...

    Another Garmin-Cervelo no-show. Still. They *did* just put out a really pretty documentary, though. They all looked team-like and good in those! Does that count?

    Sour grapes from Vaughters?

    Please feel free to skip over any of my posts. I certainly hope no one on your end is forcing you to read them. In the meantime, since you and I both paid the exact same amount of money to register on this forum and post however the hell we see fit (in accordance with the rules) I guess we...

    Garmin Cervelo Dismiss Matt White

    I don't understand why people are saying poor Vaughters not reading his email pdf attachments is no big deal. This is a bloke holding himself above all other teams when it comes to rigour and protocol. He's just told us he doesn't take much notice of his emails. Neither he nor his staff do...

    Garmin Cervelo Dismiss Matt White

    That stuff, while all very possibly true, is not officially (legally) relevant any more and never will be. Why? Because Vaughters has been quite clear, on more than one occasion now, about why he gave White the sack. He explicitly said his decision was nothing to do with GreenEdge. You should...

    Garmin Cervelo Dismiss Matt White

    You know, the more i think about this with a clear head the more i feel this incident (and the handling of both Lowe and White since) really sucks. It's all so ugly. It has been really poorly dealt with by Vaughters and Garmin. The way it's been handled has been unprofessional, overly quick...

    Garmin Cervelo Dismiss Matt White

    Remember you are relying on Garmin's own (slanted) description of what Lowe said/did during his "contract negotiations". Which may or may not be accurate. And to which there is certainly another side of the story (Lowe's). Let's firstly remember this is a young bloke who is trying to make a...

    Garmin Cervelo Dismiss Matt White

    I just realised there a 'Clinic' thread on this topic. I posted this thought in the other one: If Vaughters is to be praised (by cyclingnews included) for maintaining such strict "pedantic" standards in this sport, and for sacking his staff on such highly technical bases, then why doesn't he...

    Sour grapes from Vaughters?

    Well it's funny you should say that. With the exception of any confessions as to Alzheimers, a certain FBI investigation related to doping has already been receiving, en masse, that very type of standard response to any of its questions! :rolleyes: EDIT: The point you've raised is a good...

    Sour grapes from Vaughters?

    Ok. Yeah no idea why i assumed it was Canadian. Is Vaughters canadian? why have i channelled canada into any of this? Can we just blame Canada? :D I would apologise for any misunderstanding, but i think i may need to make that my permanent 'sig' for this forum soon! As i said, i'm not full...

    Quite true.

    Sour grapes from Vaughters?

    EDIT: i should've also just added that i agree with your point that Lowe's contract is not relevant. But White has a strong right to assume some contract under equitable principles, whether it is formal or otherwise. Well USA is not Canada, even though you are quite right that they are both...

    Sour grapes from Vaughters?

    That section of today's Garmin press release is relevant. I should probably say the following is MY OWN OPINION. I have no idea if it also represents Canadian contract law or whatever jurisdiction under which the Garmin business operates. Lowe notifying Vaughters or Vaughters' staff in June...
