Vaughters whining about lack of radios in Cali.....

[CobbleStoner]

I am no fan of McQuaid but he was perfectly right when at a meeting of the team managers about the ban of race radios he told JV he had enough of Vaughters and his moral high ground.

if that comment was after the meeting, then ok, but McQuaid said that during the meeting. very unprofessional and an indication that McQuaid thinks he is better than other people. team managers opinions are just as valid as the head of the UCI in regards to riders safety and race tactics, even if that DS is a jerk, McQuaid was way out of line with that comment.
we have all 'had enough' of that idiot Pat McQuaid

Whining and pontificating. This thread is filled with it.

The Stolen Bear, no, The Big Stolen Bear, no, The Stolen Lake, sounds better, ahh, I think you had it first time, "The Stolen Big Bear Stage", yes.

Now, we have to work in some other factors. We've got the dodgy chalkboards, that's good. What we need is to meld together a combination of clear cheating, excessive nationalism and its sibling, xenophobia. Unfortunately, in this case the stage was won by a French rider on a French team so we are a bit weak in this department.

Ok, Sagan hate, that has to be the angle. Can we come up with an abusive nickname for him, say, El Eslovaquiente.

I think this will do for starters. We need to push this story in Slovakia to get a good sense of indignation going over there. If you have any good ideas, let me know.

No, this is much easier on the combination of cheating/nationalism/xenophobia front than you envisage - it's about cosying up to the Tour de France and the ASO, so sucking up to them by ensuring a French win!
