Landis to Rock

[Race Radio]

Maybe I should put this in the clinic.....but I hear Landis and Rock are going to be together next year.

Match made in heaven

 

[Beech Mtn]

I thought Rock had lost some of their sponsorship money and were going to let some of the riders go. Doesn't seem like a good move for Floyd. More following in Tyler's footsteps.

So will Team Ouch continue to exist, just without Floyd? I thought Floyd was involved with the sponsors, formation of the team, etc.

 

[Andrichuk]

I thought he was signing with a team from New Zealand.

 

[the truth.]

Ouch never delivered as per agreement, they will exist but on reduced money.

RR is just a load of Balls

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Well, his results will probably improve "back to normal" next year.

Isn't Leogrande back next year too?

There goes speculation that Floyd would go to the Shack. And it also means Rock probably won't fold, just yet anyway.

 

[BroDeal]

It is too bad Flandis won't be racing in Europe.

With Ball as his bass, Landis had better get his crap together. I don't see Ball allowing him to sleepwalk through an entire season lik ehe did at Ouch.

Floyd to Shack was never gonna happen. Damaged goods.

He has. Just to ride the Tour of Southland.

Ah, I guess I just didn't read the article very closely. Thanks for clearing that up Craig.

Do you know how he did off the top of your head?

Hasnt started yet. My prediction......Shitsandwich. Its a hard, cold and very windy tour Flandis is toast.

Rock Racing has a cool international squad...If a rider has a family member or friend where he can crash on their sofa they can do the race, Landis will be able to race in San Diego or anywhere in PA. Rock racing is a joke, not as bad a joke as Ouch. Floyd should go work in a cabinet shop with the Amish, If it turns out he is a drunk then he should be room mates with Gerlach. I hope Phinney can hurry up and save this sinking, stinking, cycling boat.

Maybe Flandis can call his biography 'Balls: From the Uniballer to Mr Ball'

 

[Race Radio]

Supposedly Ball got some suckers to put some cash into the team....of course we have heard that before.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Thanks for the info. I didn't know Ball had scrounged up some more money. We'll see how long it lasts before they start not paying riders again.

These guys should team up with Astana and call the team Astana Balls.

Heart Breaker

When I was in my early 20's, the boxer Mike Tyson was the second coming, and then he frittered it all away. My heart was broken.

My feelings towards Floyd are similar. Part of me dreams that he can regain his former glory. Ever the romanticist. Slow learner.

I don't know. I thought I saw LA say that he wouldn't rule it out. Kindred spirits and all that.

 

[Clemson Cycling]

This team has had some pretty impressive victories this year considering the size and resources the team has.

Yup. Considering the economy's affect on Ball's business, he could have easily folded the team. Lots of other teams and races have not survived.

Supposedly the team will be registered as a Mexican team next year, and the schedule will include more international races.

Mea culpa...

My wife bought a pair of jeans for me. They are Rock & Republic. I nearly shit myself. I looked at the sticker price. The ticket read $195.00 (US).

It was at this time that she noticed the steam coming out of my ears and she chimed in "got 'em on sale for 40 bucks"... So, I tried them on, they fit great and were cheaper than Levi's.

Don't know how much they cost to make but I guess they made a profit. They can use my $40 to hire Flandis but I will burn these jeans if Kayle comes back to the team. He has my vote as the dumbest doped 'pro' cyclist in the history of dumb doping pro cyclists.

'Balls: From the Uniballer to the patch on my balls to Mr Ball'

I have a pair as well. It came from China though.

that is just wrong....funny, but wrong.

 

[sully67]

I guess they have to find a way to pay for that flasshy cadillac gas guzzler to get up climbs like Mt Palomar by charging $195 for a pair of jeans.I guess you cant take corners at 60 mph in a hummer.

Rock will be selling a bicycle line next year as well. Yes, R&R's profits have gone up lately and they have had an influx of cash from team sponsors. This team did pretty well this year, and last year helped sponsored many races in the US(the 3 philly/pa races, iron hill crit, tour de Georgia to name a few.) So the team has been good for US cycling.

The race gear they make is the best quality you will find. Period. I wear their kit every ride and they are the best bibs I have ridden, and I have ridden some very expensive bibs. Plus who can go wrong with black and skulls.

I once saw a guy with thier winter jacket in a club downtown, was funny to be chilling to R&b/hiphop while their was a cycling jacket in the club.

I don't care about the history of the riders on the team, as long as they test clean, racing is about fun to me, not worrying who is needling up.
