As far as news goes, Mongolia has a national team and entered the cross world champs for the first time ever, does that count?

You just are not cunning about your place of residence then. If the race to win news of the month threads gets serious I expect to see many daily members arranging holidays in New Zealand around the turn of the month. Either that or we go by forum time which has crossed into the new month

Stop bullying me, and I am certain that I put February through a spell checker so thats quite embarrassing.

Here is some fun reading for everyone, a list of riders who have worked with Michelle Ferrari in the past, with sources.
It's far from comprehensive, but it's a fun read:

He got banned for a few months during the off-season for his "involvement" in puerto. However this doesn't seem to count as a full doping offence, and so CONI recommended a 3 year ban for "extra circumstances" for this offence, but that seems to have been turned down. So he's got the standard 2 year deal, which, knowing Di Luca, will be knocked down to 18 months or something.
I don't think it's the last we'll see of him.

Contentpolis and Rock Racing merge to form a single team
okay then....
It's registered in mexico as Continental (not Pro Continental), so they are hereby forced to have at least 50% Mexican riders.
Right.....
I hope those mexicans get used to not getting paid.
'Cause that's how Ball rolls, "innit"?

It wasn't for Puerto, but for the Oil for Drugs case. It's a miracle (for him...) that he didn't get a full two year ban for that... |

My bad.
I didn't think it was puerto, but as I couldn't remember exactly what it was for, I decided to go for the usual offence
