Just bizarre. Trek are inviting you to tweet in realtime to their website, and all the tweets are appearing on a big screen at the event.

Hello? Anyone at @trekbikes there? I have a warranty claim that's been ignored by one of your dealers. #trekworld

RT @TheRaceRadio: Would Frank Schleck be as fast if he used a real coach instead of paying a Spanish gynecologist $15,000 for "Training plans"? #trekworld

or from "Dr Duffy"
My former "patient" Floyd Landis rode Trek's, but we only gave him the ****ty ones cause he was a pain in the ***. #trekworld


One of the all time stupid ideas from Trek. Massive fail.

How incredibly naive. What did they expect to happen?

Not being a fan of Trek in general, I anticipated something nauseating about their continued world dominance and oversaturation of the cycling world but this is quite entertaining. Marketing genius!

See what happens when their figurehead is damaged goods and no longer at the face of the sport? They seem to have lost their way and are desparate to retain lost magic maybe?

With this info, I find my twitter timeline even more humorous... Was wondering why so many people were using #trekworld on twitter! Amazing someone didn't see how this could go wrong!

All credit to trek, they actually took it in really good humour, and Gary fisher was tweeting to several of the key culprits and having a good joke with them. He said they had "heard it all before"

Actually turned into a very good natured hostile takeover by the end of it all last night.

tonight should be fun.
