    Even without seeing the video, just reading about Gilbert winning with one of his spectacular trademark attacks makes me smile. Right on Gilbert! Thank you. That footage better show up soon:rolleyes:

    Popovych testifies

    What a cheesy article, sensational BS journalisim. Does CN routinely drop these tabloid press bites? Popo told the Feds to meet him at the hotel and that's what they did. Big Deal! That's one boring action script!:mad:

    Bicycle Dreams

    Yes, awesome documentary! You will learn all about RAAM but most importantly you'll enjoy some great stories/perspectives on pushing human limits into absurdity. Highly recommend!

    Kampai Japan Cup!

    yes, alot of riders blew their engines, but there were only 69 to begin with. I don't think this McEwen group ever regained contact Pliuschin quits Marycz and Bandiera call it a day

    Kampai Japan Cup!

    I was lucky enough to be there today. Great race, technical course, tons of fans. I was really hoping for Arashiro to win or get podium but Garmin set up Martin really well and he soloed the entire last lap to win by a nice margin. Nice win congrats to him he totally killed it today. Pic is...

    Theo Boss, meet karma, karma, meet Theo Boss

    Anybody see this crash footage? I just read he hit a motorcycle "well off the side of the road" at high speed. :confused:

    Lessons from Lance

    I learned that yelling "Go Lance" at roadies makes them angry.

    A. Schleck and O'Grady thrown out of Vuelta

    Maybe Riis really is looking out for his riders. I remember when Floyd Landis went out for some "Jack Daniels and a beer" the night before Stage 17 at the 06 TDF. We all know how that turned out...:o

    George W. Bush Rides a 29er

    I guess the Niner guys don't mind all the blood on Bush's hands. I would have been more impressed if Niner told Bush to f*ck off. Oh well, I've got a Niner, it's a really nice frame...

    Favourite Lance anti-doping quotes from times gone by...

    "...I've always liked David Millar, [he] was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, is it heroic now that he has confessed? Some would say so.." "...Floyd does not believe that he is guilty, so to appease people like you and others, he can't confess, he doesn't feel like he's guilty, he...

    How did you become interested in cycling?

    I've been pretty crazy about mountain biking since 1991 but it wasn't until the 1996 Tour de France that made me want to start road riding. Bjarne Riis' performance in the 96 Tour totally blew me away. I bought a road bike in 97' and have been increasingly crazy about cycling and the TdF ever...

    Greg Lemond: Tour legend and anti-doping crusader

    Too bad Landis didn't heed Greg's advice from the beginning. America's greatest cyclist?

    It's becoming a sport for spoiled brats

    Yes, I agree, Carlos was right to go for it. I just don't like the (nobody ever waited for me in my career) tone. BTW, anybody find any footage of Sanchez's crash? I've only seen the aftermath at it was certainly ugly. What a great ride by Sanchez yesterday. Hoping he keeps podium...
