barredo says he has found a new job - working for Toscaf cafes in Madrid.


I feel sorry for him.

 

[Herr Katt]

Uhm... Does anyone have anymore info on the barredo case?
What is snackattack talking about? Ponzi scheme?
Wasnt Barredo suspended for high blood values or something?

Ignore the guy. He's a troll, Rabobank hater (hence the ridiculous Ponzi scheme reference) and doping fan.

 

[Herr Katt]

He always looked great on the bike. Very nice style.

Julian Dean (38) to retire on CN

 

[DominicDecoco]

A rider who never really knew what kind of rider he was once he lost his speed. The last years he was pretty much just in the way when the peloton hit the sprint.

Let's remember Julian Dean as an inspiration for a generation of Kiwi cyclists, as the local media reports show:

+1 But still, why did he decide to retire now, before the Giro? It's strange.

 

[screaming fist]

Maybe he's been told he wouldn't be selected for the Giro?

+1 But still, why did he decide to retire now, before the Giro? It's strange.

Perhaps he didn't want Lampre to have a wasted spot in their lineup (assuming he would have made their Giro squad), as he wouldn't have done much in the Giro.

Anyways, about time he retired. He's had a good career, and now time to draw it to a close. I wish him well in life after cycling.

 

[PCutter]

Adios Di Luca. Thankfully

 

[The Hitch]

Marco Pinotti retiring, moving into staff.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Marco Pinotti retiring, moving into staff.

They will end up with more staff than riders this way.

Anyway, will miss Pinotti on the road, but this is the right decision.

Zabriskie races his last race today at Lombardia (as written on the CN live feed for the race)

shame for his fall and broken bones at Tour Of Cali last spring, he could have ended better

(please leave the clinic comments to the clinic)

Why better or what better way to exit? The thing is we remember him by his dry humor not his racing. Not sure he could exit better, maybe a 15 minute stand up comedy skit instead?
