[Michielveedeebee]

Iljo Keisse will start in Rotterdam even though UCI forbids him: source twitter

Eat this *****es! 2morow i start in Rotterdam 6... http://yfrog.com/h3b66bdj

How will the UCI react?

 

[Michielveedeebee]

UPDATE; he'll be ready to start if he's allowed to do so.

And to think, I used to be a fan.

Used to be???

Hes been getting pushed around by the UCI for over 772 days. In my opinion its time for the UCI to forget about all of this silliness and just let him ride.

Just another caase of UCI trying to hold it over him hope he wins his claim for compo and them idiots at UCI have to pay for him missed oppertunity.
The Court has said he can ride then what is UCI doing . Lock that irishman up for contempt.

You're right there. There are all sorts of jurisdictional problems here that really should have been cleared up years ago, given that cycling has always been international to some extent. The court ruling, says the UCI, is only applicable in Belgium. Where does that leave the matter? Another trip to CAS and while we're waiting another year goes by?

Keisse suffers. The event suffers. The paying public suffers. The UCI pontificates.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

And Keisse races! thank you Dutch court!

 

[Michele]

That's a good news!

 

[washedup]

What a joke. I must say, I was originally very happy with Keisse's stance in the opening weeks of his case. Since then, he has really gone down a shady path.

How long will he play these games? Now, despite being a huge fan years ago, I hope he finally serves his ban in its entirety... starting from the day he decides or is forced to accept it.

+1 on the bold part.

I'm glad Keisse gets to race. He's in a similar boat to Gusev, who had to sue/threaten a lawsuit to get back to racing. Pellizotti too. I'm tired of the UCI having vendettas against riders. Those people have let power go to their heads.

Same about Rasmussen...

This is going to be huge like the Bosmanarrest

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

This is getting hilarious

 

[Beech Mtn]

I hope the audience goes wild when Keisse is introduced and races. I also hope his team wins and gets handed a big fat check, right in front of the UCI officials. Doesn't take brains to work for the UCI, after all.

Oops, that last sentence probably just earned me a two month suspension, Bruyneel-style.

Who cares what the UCI think or do, it's all political crap anyway. As far as I'm concerned as a fan, the biological passport doesn't work and the governing body should be run by ex pro's like Bugno, Bauer, Lemond, Argentin and the like, Never mind what Verbruggen, McQuaid thinks and get on with cycling, the UCI is in it for the money like everybody else in pro sports. Right now a cyclist can't even eat a piece of chocolate without the UCI and media making a big deal out of it. Get on with cycling and if you don't like it, watch Snooker or Poker tournament on TV.
