I had lunch with Richie last week.
The entree was good but my steak was a little chewy and Richie thought his fish wasn't cooked properly.
None the less we washed it down with a few cocktails. Started with a Bloody Mary then a few beers. Richie ordered a bottle of wine with the mains and then amped it some vodka shots. We were f-cked.
That's when I looked him in the eye and I knew he was off his head. His eyes were almost in the back of his head. I asked him about doping and he was straight forward. Richie can't actually spell or write his own name but he said he'd never dope on Sundays or with the light turn on. That was good enough for me.
I don't know if Sky are doping but Richie is a straight shooter. In fact we kicked on to a local bar and got on some potent whiskey and Porte bombed them like he was on spring break. I was calling him shooter Porte.
It was awesome!

spalco said:I'm confused. Could somebody who understands this UCI politics crap be so kind to write a quick rundown what the situation is? Is McQuaid done or can these weird maneuvers with Malaysia and Morocco or whatever be successful? Has the Swiss Federation really rescinded his nomination? Or was the Swiss nomination meaningless after all anyway?
Oh please. Finally I can laugh at something in this forum. Some funny stuff in this thread.sittingbison said:Gentle(wo)men, enough of attacking the poster. If you don't like the content attack IT or if it's warranted report it. Otherwise give it a rest.

sniper said:respect indeed to jamie fuller.
anyone thinks he has an agenda?
at present, i don't. with the info i have, he seems to be the real deal, with a genuine interest in cleaning up. I don't mind if he gets a commercial advantage out of this at all. In fact I hope he does, but I don't think that's high on his agenda. He seems to have his nest well-feathered already, and I'd reckon he has more to loose than to win in all this.
Does anybody know if he's particularly close with Cookson and/or Vaughters?
Race Radio said:Yes, the Swiss Fed has rescinded his nomination and the head of the Swiss Fed has resigned. While I expect more absurdity in the next couple weeks I cannot see how McQuaid gets elected.
There is still one more week for nominations. I doubt there will be any real challengers so at this point it looks very good for Cookson

Galic Ho said:What I want to know is WTF do Skins get out of this?
skippy said:@galic ho Was unaware of " all three Aussie compression brands. Skins, Body Science and 2XU "! In my touring around the European Cycling scene , have only spotted " Skins " on a variety of grades of Racer Types .
@spalco as a variety of people have written and tweeted " you couldn't make this stuff up ", it is an odds on certainty that this won't be over until the ballot on the 23rd Sept in Firenze . not even phat the rat knows , what he is going to do or say ,when he falls out of bed each day !
Had Jay Leno or his Ilk , the interest in Cycling , they would have their audience figures soaring , such are the Ops for hilarity that phat the rat continues to produce .
Since the members of the forum are content to let phat make the running, there is no point in reminding them that he is probably enjoying reading of their confusion , particularly since they can't find 30secs to record their disatisfaction in the petition i created :
http://www.change.org/petitions/uni...nt-p-mc-quaid-honorary-president-h-verbruggen
Of course , IF , the UCI were to elect an HONOURABLE President , then there would be one less subject for the mushroom farmers to speculate about ?
I plan to be in Firenze , where i once again will call on jim burn , and tell him to his face , to empty his desk , but then i am not one of the 42 " Voting Delegates " that he has promised the world and more , knowing that another 4 years of hiding the past , will likely save his hide and the skin of his accomplices !
Moose McKnuckles said:RR, don't get into a humor fight with thehog. You'll lose that one.
You do great stuff, but don't take yourself too seriously. Sometimes you just have to laugh it off.
Huckleberry said:I have no idea what skippy is talking about........who the h*ll is jim burn? Jay Leno?????
Race Radio said:They get little, if any, benefit.
Given the large sums of money Jaimie has spent on this I doubt it is to promote Skins. He strikes me as a guy who once he sinks his teeth into something will never drop it until it is finished. So far he is winning
