scribe said:Undoubtedly an irrational comment if true. But hardly proof that Trek Corp was systematically trying to destroy the LeMond brand while under it's sublicensing authority.
scribe said:Article 43 to 52. Outlines Trek's obligation to Sublicensing agreement and claims that it has done as much.
scribe said:Why would he be disappointed? Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't he say he was crushed to learn of that association? If LA is around a homosexual, that must mean he is gay too. Right?

Dr. Maserati said:No - it is not the proof, it is the motive.
The proof will be in examining Treks approach to marketing, promoting and advertising of the Lemond brand.

Race Radio said:As well as the internal communications. Email sucks if you are Trek.
scribe said:From reading Trek's complaint, they have demonstrated that they complied with the sublicensing agreement in terms of dollar amounts of marketing and development vs agreed-to sales minimums.

Kennf1 said:Well then, case closed. If you would read the Lemond documents (why do I even bother suggesting this) you will learn of the dispute between "minimum amount" and "best efforts."
So - it is a contractual dispute??scribe said:From reading Trek's complaint, they have demonstrated that they complied with the sublicensing agreement in terms of dollar amounts of marketing and development vs agreed-to sales minimums.

scribe said:You own one company with two distinct cycling names associated with your brand. They are at war with one another in the public eye. Not good. What does a company do? When you can't get both sides to agree to drop the fued, you have to assess the situation. One cycling name is all over the papers and public eye currently. One name is legendary, yet fading. Which one do you pick now that you're forced to?
flicker said:I can see this case is going to get ugly. It is not about the money on LeMonds' part. It is about getting back at Lance and TREK. Ultimitely Greg will discredit TREK and Lance. He will get his 10 or 20 mil. He will make Lance look like an A-Hole. He will get big headlines and the lawyers on both sides will line their pockets. Greg will walk away with smug satisfaction that he got his. Same way he helped Floyd look like a smuck.
Problem with Greg is his goal is to destroy U.S. interest in cycling.
My guess is everyone on this site is savy to cheating, Thing is Gregs goal is to prove cycling is a fraud to the general U.S. public. What a shame.

And the Judge will give their considered opinion on the matter unless it is settled before the trial.

Not Riding Enough said:As GL said in that video what Frankie [and of course Betsy as well] have/are doing is much harder than any bike race. I hope they and many others keep standing up.
beside several straw man - mind you one thread already got shut down - youPolish said:No offense Mr Enough, but there are PLENTY of things "harder than any bike race.".
And do not feel super sorry for Greg lol. Even though he was one of the first racers to get a million dollar contract and is a founding member of th "GCI" (Greedy Cyclist Inc) club - he is making way more dinero suing people.
Much than he ever made as a pro cyclist. Way more.
Heck, Alberto should fire Fran and hire Greg's Crew....they would negotiate some REAL money for Alberto.
Double heck, Alberto should go after Lance in a Lawsuit for damaging his career. This is as bad as any "screw Greg" tantrum"
"Armstrong stood up and "crowed" at a rival team during dinner at a hotel during the Tour. Armstrong was heard shouting at the unnamed team saying without any provocation:
"You want a rider?"
"you can take this guy...." gesturing at Contador.
The rival team sat in silence as did Contador as Lance stared him down."
SpeedWay said:That's par for the course here(which is a good thing by the way). With Einstein's definition of insanity, a thread on cycling and its links to mental illness, a thread about business litigation in the Clinic, and a thread post count of "Guinness book of world record" proportions for a thread that degraded so severely that is had to be shut down, it had all the ingredients of being the cyclingnews.com raison d'etre. Bravo to you for your ability to suffer and a wink and a nod to the saner ones amongst us that put that train wreck out of our misery. The Lemond/Trek lawsuit - same as it ever was!
Polish said:Point 1.....I do not know why Greg Secretly Taped the Phone Call to Stephanie, but I will guess it was not ethically right. Was it morally justified? Was it it was meant to help homeless people or cancer victims or soon-to-be-laid-off bicycle-assembly-line workers??
scribe said:If LeMond hadn't made unsubstantiated claims that Armstrong was doping via association, no hassle would have arose. Count me a Armstrong groupie, but I'd prefer testing take the stage, front and center, to combat doping. Not wild assertions from the grand stands. Landis ****ed me off bad enough to quit watching cycling for a year. If LA is back at it, on the sauce to get results, I'd like to see the controls grab him as well.
Thoughtforfood said:You think it is "wild" to assert that Dr Ferrari is used almost exclusively for doping regimen? Do you know nothing about the man?
