Not angry, just disppointed, really... I think Lance Armstrong's fall is that massive earthquake that cycling has been building up to for 15 years. After the dust has settled, we'll still get tremors and aftershocks (Brunyeel being banned, other riders admitting to doping, etc.) You can't put...

Of course they are. He lied to them too. It's a full-handed slap in the face on a 20 year friendship. Friends believe in friends. That's the way it works until something like this happens. I'd love to hear the next conversation Sherwin has with Lance.

The UCI is to blame for this emerging behavior in the peleton because of their damnable UCI Pro Tour points system. OK, so maybe the behavior isn't entirely "new" but the system has certainly made it worse. No one is going to jeopardize their chance to earn points by playing "fair" for anything...

Don't worry. I speak English and have never heard YMMV used before.

Face it, he's dumber than a bag of hammers. An immensely talented sprinter who can barely climb or time trial, used up his brain cells cycling all day and then went onto Twitter instead of admitting defeat shutting the hell up. Racing is about 2 things: winning and losing. More specifically...

A big "Thank you" for Cyclingnews for providing awesome coverage and saving me $30 USD that I didn't waste paying NBC Universal Sports for their coverage of such a boring Tour. The Giro was SO much better than the Tour has been.

Fine. Technically so did Oscar Pereiro.

So, they're leaving a team that they are having issues being paid by and going to a team that has a past history of not paying people on time. Brilliant strategy guys. I don't blame you for leaving Leopard, but if this is true and you're leaving for Astana, then the reasons you haven't won...

Ah, I see. That's sucks. I hate working when I am ill, I cannott imagine biking for hours on end with a stomach bug.

That's the tour I was thinking of, too. Long and Boring.

What happened to Tony Gallopin? I see he finished waaaaaay down the rankings. Crash? Bad legs?

I agree wholeheartedly, which is why I now look for the Eurosport stream to watch whenever I can. There are 2 noted exceptions, though. Any NFL broadcast on CBS involving Phil Simms and any baseball on Fox involving Tim McCarver. They're just as bad as Phil & Paul. I must admit I feel a...

Are we really surprised by stuff like this anymore? I feel bad for the rest of the Cofidis' squad who cannot seem to catch a break.

I must admit that I am surprised that he's bringing along JJ Haedo. Granted, I am not sure if he has any other sprinting options. I think that maybe Riis would have been better bringing along somone who can maybe make it in a breakway, such as Luke Roberts, as opposed to someone contunually...

Good luck to the boys. That's such bull****. Geox will get away with it too unless someone spends time & money in the courts. Cobo, Menchov Florencio & de la Fuente should have no problem finding teams. It just sucks that the other riders will end up back in the Continental squads after having...
