I am Spanish and I support the above post.

Phat: "But my understanding is that he has no interest in the sport anymore, he's got his other stuff to work on." Such as looking for a second-hand trailer in Paso.:D

British cyclist David Millar hits out at Rabobank's 'sickening' decision to quit cycling "Millar tweeted: "Dear Rabobank, you were part of the problem. How dare you walk away from your young clean guys who are part of the solution. Sickening.""...

And why don't they have any faith left in UCI? *Gives Dekker_Tifosi half an hour to think* Yes, that's right, because of the Armstrong case! *Clap, clap, clap* So, all in all, a handy excuse to get out of this sport now that they don't need the cycling team to boost brand recognition.

Armstrong never rode for Rabobank, no Rabobank riders are named in the USADA files (either explicitly or in redacted form), Armstrong didn't have any particular association with Rabobank... Call me sceptical, but to me it looks like Rabobank were planning to quit cycling anyway and the...

Bingo. Each generation of delusional cycling fans needs its false idol to defend under all circumstances, even at the expense of looking silly.

Let's see: 1.- Purito beat Contador in Eibar. 2.- Purito put time into Contador in Jaca. 3.- Purito beat Contador in Andorra. 4.- Purito put time into Contador in Barcelona. 5.- Contador only managed to put 0'59" into Purito in a 40*km time trial. 6.- Purito put time into Contador in...

Nope, they never rode in the same trade team.

What did you expect him to say, "Contador was weaker than me in this Vuelta, so he needed Paulinho, Hernández and Tiralongo to win the race for him"? There's something called "diplomacy". You must be very naive if you think riders always mean exactly what they say.

And some people manage to delude themselves into thinking their favourite rider was the strongest man even after seeing him lose every single mano-a-mano against the other rider.
