Does L.A. have the goods on the UCI?? Lance isn't "worried on any level" about the S.I. article. What are your thoughts on this? Could it be that he knows so much about how the business of the UCI and how it "handles" things that the UCI, McQuaid & even Verbruggen are at risk if L.A. goes down?

on the subject of having 40 days of racing in his legs, is that too much for Roger's? I actually would like some help here. what's the approx. average number of days of racing in the legs of a rider going into the TDF ? for a sprinter, like Cavendish or Ferrar- for an all rounder, like...

ya, but we are bicycyle riders, are we not ?? and the barney or fred factor is much higher among our lot, than in other sports. RAAM is just one example. i'm ok with all of it.

to the aussie cycling fan that asked the question, "why did McQuaid get hired". he was selected by the "master of puppets", Hein Verbruggen. bone up on some world cycling history.

i hope LA fades out of the international cycling scene for good. Cancer foundations should blacklist him. wtf is he still doing around anyway? he's late for his time, the early 90's. he has totally diluted the value of a TDF win. if ASO and the other GT firms weren't such circuses for $$...

wasn't this thread started by a banned poster ?? or am i wrong here? so......how did it end up getting all these replies ??

Kohl's sad state for indescretion I'm a fan. Especially of those with long careers in this sport who ride ALL SEASON. As long as I can see emotion, cat & mouse attacks, solo efforts off the front or at the base of a climb, even the ones that almost stay clear....... I'll dig this sport. These...

L.A.'s been mum w/the press let's see, hasn't he had to spend the last 3 weeks on the phone and e-mail putting together the spnsors/funding for a new team AND race ? yeah, he can have a brash way sometimes, but think of all the flame bait he's avoiding about: the new $$$, the team, his form, if...
