Garmin-Transitions 2010 - where's Tom Zirbel?

[Grzdylu]

Garmin announced their roster yesterday and Tom Zirbel's (Mendrisio TT revelation) name isn't on the list. I thought they'd signed Zirbel back in September.

Did something change between September and December? Anyone know?

Good eye. I didn't realize he was missing until just now when I saw the announcement of his positive dope test.

Could be he told Vaughters what was up before the negotiations went too far.

Hope it's not intentional.

Tom is using the very popular, there will be a surprise discovery at the testing facility and my name should be clear in a week or 2 technique. He is toast. This close to the Olympics there will be no admitted mistakes by and testing agency or lab. You had a good run Tom.

bummer

i was looking forward to seeing him at Garmin after his ride in Mendrisio. The puke all over his uni, etc. Real bummer. The first positive of a guy I actually liked, and followed closely.

He's busy with his lawyers right now. Don't disturb.

Zirbel not only ingested steroids, now he's hitting the migraine meds pretty hard after being busted.
