i dont like april fool's day's stories.

I dont know which of the news on cyclingnews is true.

I know what you mean...Grandmothers with cocaine laced chocolates, dogs shooting up EPO, disappearing twins, frictionless antimatter ball bearings, nanomotors embedded in bottom brackets. I get lost, too.

I have to say though, "BMC to Tour of Flanders with five Top Ten finishers" was a pretty good April 1st joke. I especially like these quotes:

- "We have more than one rider able to do well, so we have to use this strategy," Ballan said.
- Moreover, BMC directeur sportif John Lelangue said the squad is peaking just at the right time.
- Lelangue: "They're in really good condition and since the beginning of the year, they have been riding well as a team," he said.

EDIT AFTER RVV - Thank you BMC, I take this back!

LOL. ACF94 is not going to appreciate that.

Those missing Cobbles, I reckon it was a Garmin fan responsible. :p

I thought the BMC storey was legit? Wrong race though so maybe it applies to Leige-Bastogne-Leige.

That was off the BMC racing team website. NO April Fools joke there. It's legit.

bicing was not suggesting that BMC were playing an April Fools joke by putting together a non-serious article. The suggestion was that it was a joke because BMC are supposedly rubbish and they were supposedly serious when they said this.
