I think that some of the stages are too long. But it would be awesome if they manage to pull this of.

In a Danish newspaper today, it has been reported that a guy in Scotland has been convicted of having sex with his bicycle. He got a suspended sentence of three months.
The story doesn't tell ahything about how he did it  |

after the story about the bus driver who changed his name to Ayrton Senna (and failed horribly at pronouncing it, since he's scottish), I'll believe anything about scots.

But it's very rare nowadays that TT (ITT cause as for TTT) last for more than 1h or 1h05.  |

UCI has made a decision in the case about Rasmussen. They have not issued any official statements yet, but it sounded like they will open a trial case which will mean an exclusion to Rasmussen of 2 years and probably the end of Rasmussen's career if he's convicted as guilty.
However, I haven't heard any legal expert say that there's anything that you can convict Rasmussen for. So, according to them, they will lose the case, but at least they will prevent Rasmussen from riding and signing a new contract as long as the case is on-going. |

Hanegraaf will soon present his new team which has a Belgian company as its main sponsor. These riders are a part of the new team for sure: Jimmy Casper, Gil Suray, Tom Criel, Sergey Kolesnikov and Matthé Pronk |

Don't know if this has been brought up, but Horner has joined Astana. I'm so conflicted with this, if there was one guy i know is 100% clean its horner. So first Levi now Horner...Gosh....
What you guys make of this? |
