Come on guys, Valverde is innocent, although I did get a worried look when he rode past and I yelled "Piti".

Mr. T says, "I Piti the fool who thinks Valverde is innocent."

Anyway, what did you expect from an organization that two years ago faked Contador's TT time, clocking it a full minute slower than what it actually was, so that local boy Valverde could win the GC?

Sounds like something the Tour of California would do.

Exactly. The spanish teams agreed on regulations with the RFEC and the ECP and the AOEC. But the organizers of those two races don't care. So the spanish teams are boycotting the races.

Here are the figures that explain the boycott from the blog of the cycling editor at El Mundo:

Race organisers may be shooting on their own feet. :cool:

They won't, if they still have hopes that Contador will someday return to their Giro...

I don't see Contador returning to the Giro until the end of his Tour career when he might think he has a better chance of winning the Giro than the Tour. We can hope that he attempts the double, but it would be a large risk. It is much safer for him to do a few Tour-Vuelta doubles.

Andy Schleck needs to do the Giro again...
