This quote yesterday from Richie Porte: "Put it this way, if I know that Bjarne Riis is in the car and my face is contorted, he's going to pass on to Alberto that Richie's hurting." And why is this a good thing? Race Radios are just one of the many things wrong with professional road...

Weisel and Och I can't seem to believe this but it appears that Weisel recruited Och, who was managing money in Milwaukee post Motorola, Och brings some of his accounts with him to Weisel and bro's...including.....wait for it..."ta da!" Hein V.'s account. Och becomes president of USA Cycling...

"We need more people like this. As noted in other threads I do thank Hincapie, Levi, JV, etc. for finally talking and admitting the truth. But that doesn't make them champions. They were, as Inga noted, without a backbone when they, the sport and fans, needed it from them most. It's a damned...

Inga is right...and the conditions she describes for truly starting cycling again without the doping are correct...I think the key to her comments is that she accurately describes the coaches, DS's, and trainers as "semi-repentant"....and that, my friends, is spot on. Thousands of racing...

Not in 2013, not ever. It just isn't going to happen. The doping culture is IN the sport's genome, and it will take generations of riders, under an authority of strict control, to get to the point where cycling (professional) is considered clean. I fear that the horse has left the barn as...

While the Feds get their investigation cranked back up, LA will get his new book ready for the printer! Gots to replace that lost endorsement dough! I can see it now...."Lance Rides Again...the Rough Road of Retirement" It'll be a tell-all that sells 9 gazillion copies...in 31 languages! Ha!

Hey, I just got done watching AS and the chain drop, like 10 times, and I swear it looks he just roostered up the shift to the big ring...that's NOT a mechanical...that's rider error, just like taking the wrong way through a roundabout...AS knew he roostered it up and that's why he didn't say...

The Chalkboard What happened to using the guy on the moto with the chalkboard....seems kinda analog to me, but geez...it always has worked, hasn't it? Radios I have worn, although not in the last five years, and find them annoying as hell. A lot of protour pros say the same thing...there's...

Radios, along with a whole list of 'modern/ conveniences, have made cycling on the road very similar (in odd ways) to modern pro wrestling...a contrived competition...maybe not as bad as pro wrestling or roller derby, but certainly without the 'pureness' of other sports. All radios should go...
