Unlike may I don't think the old site was perfect, it was very cluttered and untidy, but nothing that a simple clean-up couldn't have solved. The new site is rubbish. It's horrifcally slow, nothing works, dead links, no results, multiple clicks - same as all the million other complaints really...

Interchangeable and applicable

For what it's worth: I've got a Saunier Duval boiler, but that was because it was recommended and nothing to do with cycling. Will only get Sky if they show the classics and races other than the Tour live and for more than 2 hours each time Nearly moved my mobile to T-Mobile last year, but...

Marketing seems to work so well in the US...

Slipstream still matter, they're having a duff season so far other but some notable results are starting to come - Farrar and Martin. Lampre are also having a pretty rubbish year. But Garmin haven't been going well in the last week of the Giro, but that said, Columbia have also been going...

Because he's crap? He may well pursue Sky, but they won't be pursuing him. Cunego wouldn't surprise me. A lot of people on this thread are just looking at making lists like 180Cranks says, most are missing the emphasis that Sky have placed on their intention to do things differently to how...

Stem snapped. Smashed face into road and in doing so smashed glasses into face. Result: Out cold on the road, ambulance, 3 hours in A&E with a plastic surgeon pulling pieces of glass out of my face. 43 stiches around my and an overnight in hospital. Otherwise I came out of that pretty lightly...

WBT at it again. Your mouth is about as quick as Cav's is. Shame your brain isn't quite as good eh?

1) Cavendish 2) Farrar 3) Petacchi

No reason, just interested. Used to like him as he rode for Helvetia. Not so impressed with the direction a lot of those riders chose when the team folded though.

Because I needed to do something else other than train and race. Came out of retirement last year but the quality of riding seems to have gone downhill badly in the last 5 years and saw too many bad crashes in too few races and don't have the time or motivation to train myself out of the lower...

Why have you got a picture of Pascal Richard as your avatar?

Action on McQuaid? Well Lionel Birnie has started... http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/The_Wednesday_Comment_April_29_article_281627.html The graph above. Interesting, but only really for the trends it shows. As someone pointed out there is a spike in '96. In '97 the 50% "health limit" was...

Actually, what Bruyneel talks about is silencing the press. Which is a whole different ballgame to not allowing press leaks...

But...Gilbert finished fourth, although that will now be third. OK, I grant you he didn't make the final selection and that selection was full of alleged chargers and only got third because the chase was swallowed...but without Andy Schleck chasing, he may well have stayed away and even Scheleck...
