No one is banning fans. They aren't allowing people camp up there overnight. Overreact much?

GM trying to sell cars. What a crazy idea.....

Hands down, "The Little Prince" it's even worse in his native tongue.

It's not that simple. Maybe Bob wants too much money for the honor of being the sponsor. The rumors of Cav leaving aren't helping. Anyone who ponies up now has to look at next year's roster, not what they did this year.

So you want to punish a guy for something that no race officials witnessed?

Big difference in having riders you like and want to see do well and mindless hero worship of people because they can ride a bike or kick a ball.

Here's an idea: Grow up and stop "placing your hopes" on other people just because they can ride bicycles really fast for long distances.

A) They can't be worse. B) the currently elected clowns are unaccountable.

Nearly all the major races are controlled by ASO or RSC. The biggies that aren't will have a choice to make. They can join the new series and get the big teams, are they can stay with UCI. For the WC and Olympics, the riders need to choose. Do they want to put up with the UCI's BS or not...

Why don't the teams, riders, ASO and RSC get together and form a cycling program outside of the UCI? They would control all the riders, the top teams and the overwhelming majority of the top races. Set up their own deal and tell the UCI to pound sand.

I think you're right. I'd bet the article contains nothing anyone here will find earth shattering, but for those who aren't obsessed with Uniballer's drug habits, it will be new information.

Getting rid of radios will only mean the break away gets less leash from the main group and you'll still see them swept up in time for the sprinters to get their sponsor's on the news.

Perhaps if cycling wasn't viewed as such a joke by the mainstream sporting media, cyclists would get more respect.

I don't know. I think I'd rather have the guy who I knew would never bail on me no matter how badly we were getting our arses beaten then some others of suspect loyalty.

He's the kind of guy you want as a friend. I 'd be willing to bet Cav would never bail on his buddy in a bar fight.
