Rudy Pavenage will be DS at Rock Racing next year.
That'll do wonders for their reputation 
How about hiring Riccò while we're at it?
Speaking of Rudy, some media mentioned last week that he during a court case had confessed that he'd been involved in drug dealing.
Hence why he's such a perfect fit for the team at Rock Racing. I'm just waiting for the 'second chance' statement from the boss. |

Full team list from Rock Racing
Rahsaan Bahati (USA)
Austin Carroll (USA)
Michael Creed (USA)
Freddy Cruz (USA)
Danny Finneran (USA)
Cesar Grajales (COL)
Tyler Hamilton (USA)
Sergio Hernandez (USA)
Sterling Magnell (USA)
Ian Moir (USA)
Victor Hugo Peña (COL)
Fred Rodriguez (USA)
Oscar Sevilla (ESP)
Justin Williams (USA)
Chris Baldwin (USA)

Its great to see that Sterling was re-signed, now being paid double what he was last year. There was a while there when he wasn't looking so good financially.
Its awesome that Dan Finneran got a contract fresh off the Californian Juniors scene.
Call me crazy but I like Rock Racing.

They sure get exposure for their dollars. Brilliant marketing. |

That's what Brian Holm mentioned in an interview the other day. Money-wise they aren't in the top, but when it comes to exposure, they do certainly get what they're coming for. He also mentioned this 'thing' at the Tour of Britain -- they had brought all their expensive cars and busses with them along with lots of photo models. But when Tyler Hamilton crashed, he couldn't get a new bike, simply due to the fact that they didn't bring any reserve bikes (nor the thing on the roof to 'carry' the bikes). He had to wait for the neutral car. |

Well, a team full of suspicious riders is always a great thing for cycling. |

Are you suspicious of my personal friends, such as Sterling Magnell, or Dan Finneran or peaople who have given so much back to the community such as Rodruiguez and Dominguez or even Michael Ball himself.
Or are you going to judge the character of all of the riders on Rock Racing based upon your perception of a few.

I don't care if they are your friends or not, and no I'm not suspicious of that riders that you refer. You know whose riders I was refering to when I made my post, you're not stupid. Also, I don't care if Michael Ball is great to the community, because that doesn't change anything when it comes to cycling. And, you know, here we discuss cycling.
I just pointed out what is obvious for every cycling fan, Rock Racing has too many riders linked with dope. Don't be naive.
If this was a european cycling team without your personal friends, you would be here criticizing that team.

I'm warning you right now: no matter how biased some people you've met in your life are, no one is even remotely as biased as the one you're talking to now. You've been warned. |

The origional post referred to Rock Racing as being "full of suspicious riders" (to the best of my knowledge only 4 have been linked to dope and 1 had served a sentence) essentially painting all of the riders on the team with the same brush. To stereotype all Rock riders in that fashion is a disgusting notion. Rock Racing adheres to the same Anti-Doping program as Garmin and BMC (Scott Analysts and ACE were founded by the same guy) so you can be assured that the same amount of doping is occuring on those teams.
Of course if you do not trust anyone (and you know who you are) Rock can be full of dopers, just like Garmin and Columbia and BMC.
And, yes Isso, I am biased, I like to give the athlete the benefit of the doubt. Call me crazy.
Fact: Rock Racing has never had a failed dope test.
