    Team Astana's shameful legacy

    This is a joke, I am done with cycling (as a fan of pro cycling) I just don't care anymore... seriously, have fun...

    Is there any act more tired in this peloton? that of Jens Voigt?

    LOL. Maybe, but Jar Jar was just dumb, where P&P had real financial ties to LA (read conflict of interest). I just saw the USA Pro Challenge and P&P were commenting the same way thay always do, so I am still smarting from that. I had the recent chance to watch Stage 16 & 17 of the Vuelta- some...

    Is there any act more tired in this peloton? that of Jens Voigt?

    there is another thing: in America, for some unfortunante reason, the mainstream seems to love Phil and Paul. They (P&P) talked up LA so much for years and the mainstream bought into that love for him. They do the same thing with Jens and the mainstream seems to follow. He is hugely popular with...

    Roadie getting a mountain bike, lots of questions

    I am glad I am not in the market for a new MTB right now, too many choices.. I hope the industry comes to a consensus on wheel size before I do want a new MTB.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    but seriously, isn't there any sort of recourse the court has if it was determined that the parties lied to the judge ?

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Doesn't that mean LA's lawyers knowingly lied to Judge Sam Sparks during the suit to dismiss USADA last year?

    Bib or Baggy; Hydropack or Bottle; pump or co2?

    Thanks, I actually looked up "towpath" after that post. I've never seen one around here, which as one would expect. I am a gambler when it comes to MTB-ing, which probably isn't a good idea. I don't take all the repair tools that most people take with them since I have no good way to carry...

    Newsflash. Brian Cookson, british cycling, to stand against Pat McQuaid (SUI) for uci

    Trust has to be earned. No reason to trust someone "new" in and of itself, no reason to condemn them either. Time will tell. I would say I mistrust Cookson, but have no hard evidence. Why do I mistrust him? because he is involved in professional cycling, that's why.

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Did you really write that? Where have you been living the last 10 years? under a rock? RE: Horner- this is the same guy who said about Lance that if he didn't get caught, then it doesn't matter if he was cheating or not.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    OK, so I just listened to the Toronto Film Festival presentation. They said Travis Tygart still would not talk to them, even after the filmmakers 180 degree switch in stance. This proves, contrary to BS claims by certain Lance fans, that Travis Tygart was not "in this for the publicity" as these...

    Interesting article from The Independent regarding Gene Doping

    even if the tech is a ways off, the fact that the doctor was swamped by athletes inquiries speaks to the ethics (or lack thereof) in athletes themselves. This doesn't paint a pretty picture of honesty in sport.
