Ride On! What is this waiting stuff and phony sportsmanship crap? Flats and broken wheels and the like are the risks of the sport I think. I can't think of another sport that has such BS. If you don't want flats ride heaver tires! If you don't want your chain to jam learn how to shift! If you...

How many stages will the French win? With more then double the amount of riders from any other country but Spain how will they fair? The Tour start list shows 44 French riders Spain 26 followed by Belgium 15 on down the list.

How many times should we stop racing for BABY Schleck? He is getting too cocky for me.

Cadel For the bad rap last year and his loss with all the tenacity he showed in the Giro Andy and Brother Frank Just for proof there is no stronger bond then family and blood! Plus a stage win for Big George.

What Landis has done is single handedly kill cycling in the US. With the soon to be demise of what could have been a great market Landis can be free of all his guilt. I'm not saying I know if LA was clean or not I am saying Landis made sure cycling will not make it in the USA. Thanks Floyd Great...

Poor Evans! Who is going to motivate his cobbled together team? BMC seemed content to let all their guys DNF in the classics to me that breeds mediocrity and accepts half *** work. Can they pull it together for a ttt? They look like a bunch of quitters to me.

I thought it was funny!

Yahoo Cadel! This makes me smile!

I'm not a seasoned fan by any stretch but I can't understand how 7 out of eight riders DNF in almost every spring classic makes for a TEAM? Where is the team pride?

Big George will get a win in Cali. CE will not have a team again in the Giro and therefore BMC will have only one win all year until maybe a lucky day at the TDF.

After PR and only big George finishing 29th not a single BMC rider even finished the race. Now with the Italian investigation sidelining Ballan and Santambrogio can Evans and Hincapie get a team together to compete?

Hincapie for the win I like the romance of a Hincapie win also. I expect his team to go into the bowls of darkness and pain for him. Watching him die in past futile efforts really makes for a romantic win. I think it would put cycling in national news here in the states and break the monopoly...

What about Big George and the BMC squad? They have to start looking sharp for the invites to other races don't they? Cadel will not be in it so how about George? What do you all think?

ouch!!! Really that bad!

Now Now Boys! My Great great great great aunt designed our flag and I think she did a pretty damn good job. Stripes stars and all.
