    I'm not worried about the name, I just hope they keep that "killer" color scheme...

    Transfers "Rumours & Reality" and Young Guns

    I'm with you there - it's great to see guys still enjoying it and doing well when most would have been retired for 5 years!

    Team Sky...holy crap!!

    I think it's safe to say the in track you're much more limited to where you can go, so keeping the *talented* guys hostage would be a bit more difficult.

    Wiggins drama ending?

    Don't forget about Dan Martin...that kid might have a Tour in him a few years down the road.

    Wiggins drama ending?

    My guess would be the Contador thing tweaked him - that wasn't very supportive IMO...

    Wiggins drama ending?

    It's pretty common that teams don't want guys riding for them that, well, don't really want to be there! To sum up Vaughters' quote "he'd like to be with Sky": http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/2301/Vaughters-says-Wiggins-wants-out.aspx Hmmmm, but do they have a tour team that could get...

    Quick-Step to ride Merckx in 2010

    They weren't huffy bikes...I'm having a flashback of the huffy that looked like a motorcycle.... [google search] prelude to the mtb! http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/huffy/30692

    Team Sky...holy crap!!

    That's really all I could say about this interview: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/cycling/article6922458.ece I'm really interested if anyone else is left somewhat speechless about it...

    Busche to the Shack!

    That was my question the first time around...good point about LiveStrong being U23, but I'm not sure if that's a regulation or a "theme"... For example, could he ride with them and just get his feet wet in Europe. Would be cool to see him pull a Cunego at the Giro though! :D

    Kohl's Doc writes a tell all book!

    Thanks, my mistake - but maybe you could argue that he was his doctor as well! :D

    Busche to the Shack!

    This kid is 24 and it's insane how long he's been riding: "He only “got serious about biking” prior to the 2008 season, which he started as a Cat 2." http://www.velonews.com/article/100082/from-cat-2-to-radioshack Do you think he'll get crushed, or will he be in the US with the...

    Anything by Guy Ritchie: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005363/ Pulp Fiction is good as well...the Wolf was great!

    Kohl's Doc writes a tell all book!

    I guess it won't be in English, but the thing that gets me is this quote: “I admit my guilt, but have no regrets” That's nice...:rolleyes: At least he's honest about it though... I wonder if he'll name the others "suspected" of being invloved...

    What's this man crush between Cadel and Lance???

    Maybe they know the only way to take Bert down is to work together! Better add Schleck to that mix too...
