    2011 European Cycling Championships

    This might be a dumb question but I did not see it on the Calendar on Cycling news (other than the British Championships) Does anyone know the dates for all the European countries to define their national leaders ?

    Contador out of TDF?

    Not to hijack the thread or if this is discussed somewhere else, I am happy to read it ithere but here is the question ... Does it really take this long for UCI to get to a verdict on if Conta can race or not? Really... with all the high prized lawyers, is this just one more journalistic...

    Contador: I went to a training camp close to Chernobyl, and this happened !!! But you should see the chickens !!! 6 wings and four legs... Really delicious, but hard to catch !!!

    Robbie McEwan - Cycling Australia

    Welcome choco. Have to agree with you that it is a bummer not to invite Robbie. I guess they want to select guys that performed more consistent over the past year

    "The Days of our Lance"

    Thanks for the entertainment (while it was available) Billy .. .Any chance you would continue and change the names slightly to protect the innocent (or not so innocent) ??

    Astanna What Now?

    Perfect summary, Angrilu - that was the same conclusion I came to. Plus the fact that IF they do get the funding, management, team in place, there is always the issue with a racing license. Maybe they will have to ride for the Shack and then take over that license ;)

    AC to Saxo, is Riis better off without the Schlecks?

    Correct me if I am off base here but there are a few things that have to fall in place (not that I say it is impossible) but: 1: The Schlecks have to sign their main sponsor to get the show on the road 2: They have to get a licence to ride - are they gointg to g ofor a Pro-T license and get...

    Who spent more time on the tarmac than on the bike

    Ahh - forgot about Michael and the disaster on the TT bike. Plus Jan thinking it was time to sharpen the old 'cross' skills by riding off the side of the mountain ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYnfWP9t0Kk ... 2 minutes into the clip, but a lot of interesting images before

    Who spent more time on the tarmac than on the bike

    After reading http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=9233, I think it will be quite funny to poll and see which rider need to spend some time on 'Basic Bike Handling' and 'Cycling 101' as to NOT spend time sliding down the road on their a$$e$ A few contenders: - LA - C VDV...

    Bruyneel - Sour grapes or what

    Ahhhh .... you might have a good point there, P S. The guy was in the limelight waayyy too long and now that there is a shadow over the past accomplishments, I guess commenting on other rider's capabilities, positions etc. is like flashing your resume. But still, I was hoping for a bit more...

    5 grand tours maybe Cantador is the best ever

    Don't know who Cantador is ... Maybe he should start winning some races ... On the other hand, there is a guy named Contador ...
