I see Livestrong.com says it's donated over 3m usd to charity. What I cant find is what this figure means compared to its profits ? Doesn't seem a huge amount ? There's a lot of kit and gym stuff out there that would have made a profit ?

LOL ! It's like we've gone back to Victorian days. When I was a child - I was always scraping my knees or generally making myself bleed. And I'm sure most women see blood pretty regularly too.

I cant see that garmin have doped. They dont set the world on fire. Wiggins did improve but he was ****ing away his talent by doing the track and then going off for months on booze fuelled benders. Now he's applied himself and lost the weight - and also got a bit lucky - that accounts for last...

Didnt Lemond have a poor season one year after spending the winter XCS ? He put on a lot of upper body muscle - which doesnt help with climbing.

People have been doing it for decades - its well known and respected record. Try googling. And they can stop for toilet stops etc - the clock wont stop though. When Andy Wilkinson did it in his HPV - he had a tube in it so he could pee without having to stop. Which we only found out after...

I'm still sticking with Bos on this. Anything else makes no sense.

I said last week Rebellin was just too good in Fleche. And dont forget that when he was at Liquigas he was charged with doping too - but that case crashed down. I wasnt surprised at all.

Just like the Saunier Duval boys last Tour. If something looks too easy - they're doping.

A heart the size of a pumpkin how big exactly ???? We talking big pumpkin, or one thats roughly, I dunno, the same size as a heart ?

Unambigous ? So why have we been chewing this over all week. The camera doesnt show enough of the race or with enough detail to see the true story.

Rebellin made it look very easy ! Didnt even seem out of breath at the end.

This is a good explanation : http://cyclocosm.com/2009/04/the-bos-impey-crash/ Next ride you do with a mate - try and throw him across your path by grabbbing his jersey a la Bos - cant be done. Looks to me like he's started off by putting his hand on the jersey to begin with - we've seen...

Handslings sling the rider forward - not across the path. If something generally makes no sense ( like Bos getting so peeved with a rider that he throws the guy UNDER HIS OWN FRONT WHEEL) then there is usually another explanation. If he wanted to take him down - theres a lot easier ways...

I came sooo close to buying the Rock Racing Venom kit. Glad I didnt - I saw the RR kit in Harrods last year - ridiculously over priced for the quality.

<Cough cough - rubbish - cough cough> You really think you can pick a guy up and hurl him across the road ? Ha ha ha ! Yes they're professionals - christ - he's an ex World Champion (five times over) - so he does know a tiny bit. I've seen him race the track in real life and I dont recall...
