O'Grady won't have a beer with him now, given that Lance said that O'Grady gave him his best night out, that's one hell of a punishment:)

Commiserations in advance:)

.... and a full length mirror:) Don't forget that of the 100 athletes receiving gynaecological treatment from Dr Fuentes, only 25 or so were cyclists, the rest were purportedly athletes and footballers.

In that case provisional congratulations to Cadel Evans, the first clean Tour winner

A disgraceful performance from McQuaid, suddenly happy to serve Mr Armstrong's head on a plate if he thinks that he can save his own ****. He has to go.

Phil didn't need Mr Armstrong to make a fool of him, his commentary has become so erratic and inaccurate that he seems to be doing a good job of it on his own. We haven't heard from Mr Sherwin either.

Very likely a doper who also had the misfortune to be unlikeable.

I certainly have some sympathy for your view. I just worry that we would also be throwing out much good with the bad. I also think that we need to keep a larger perspective, the fish rots from the head first - the risk is that White, Vaughters, Riis etc etc (and it will be many of them) will go...

Mike Tomalaris the Lance fanboy suddenly hides behind being a 'serious journalist'. I'd love to see him asked the same questions.

Ralph Fiennes to play LA, he's had good training for the role playing Lord Voldemort. Hang on that also qualifies him to play Verbruggen or McQuade as well...

Here here, Post of the year for me

I currently ride a custom frame TitanFlex road bike. It has Campagnolo Chorus compact cranks (50-34) and a 29-13 10sp rear cassette. I recently did the Audax Alpine Raid here in Australia and really struggled on the second day on gradients over 9%. I know that I'm not as fit or as strong as I...
