Meanwhile, O'Grady is being charged with assault of his chauffeur. Apparently he didn't like the chauffeur asking him to put on a seat belt.
I know you shouldn't judge before the case has been investigated, but O'Grady has a long history of stirring up trouble and generally being a dick.

Actually O'Grady hasn't been charged with anything as yet, he is being investigated by police and that can lead to being charged but being investigated doesn't mean you will be charged. Also you need to note that the police have made a statement yet have not contacted O'Grady as yet

There's a quote from someone in the Cycling News article saying: "It seems like very odd timing for this to happen". I'm not really sure why, O'Grady has no chance of winning.
I don't know much about O'Grady so I have no real opinion.

Though usually they are being mistakenly called Slovenian, not Russian!
Still better being usually called Slovenian, then this Russian disgrace, especially with our history with Russians Edited by Avin Wargunnson on 16-01-2012 07:18

To given an example, he was one of the two Saxobank riders kicked off the Vuelta team in 2010 because he went out drinking with Andy Schleck after a stage.

The people who question the timing of it clearly dont believe the story. Whats to say the story isnt true? If it were, it would be odd timing for the Chauffeur to report it a longer time after the incident.

Fair enough, it would be. It's not that I don't believe it, he could have had a bit to drink or something.

that video's a ruse
Sutton will be leading out Edvald (or i hope so, for the sake of my bets)
and Edvald's a far better sprinter anyways
It's not a ruse
Eddy was saying he would do lead outs for Sutton, and himself would target Stage 2 and 5. Even the DS said that, and as bad reason it might be, Edvald needs practice in lead outs for June Edited by Alakagom on 17-01-2012 11:24

Nothing.
The "all races... I love cycling" just shows that for Stybar the name of the race or winning is not as important as being there and take part in a cycling race.
Exactly. I just wish there are more riders like Stybar and Gilbert (or even Contador, without the dope)). Riders who will try their best every single race and try to win. Not riders like Andy Schleck. He is just being unmotivated in every race he rides except for LBL and the Tour de France.
It's very intriging video, the cyclist supposedly has jumped a red traffic light. He than was caught by cyclist cop. I don't if he did pass red light, he should just accept the ticket imo.
But the next part is epic, I won't spoil it for you by telling Edited by Alakagom on 17-01-2012 16:49

Speaking of Andy Schleck, the brothers aren't satisfied with being jackasses in the past interview. They've given another one that's far, FAR worse.
Among other things, they state that if Frank hadn't crashed out of the Tour they would've "kicked Contador's ass" (actual quote), and that the time Contador gained because of the loose chain was the only time he ever gained in that Tour (another dumb lie, but by now dumb lies are normal for Andy)
and also that nobody in the past 3 years has attacked except for the two of them. Yes, you read that right. They're the only ones who did anything.
But my favourite quote because it's just so far removed from reality is when Andy says that tactically they made no mistakes at the Tour last year, despite the fact that they made quite a few dumb mistakes.
The Schlecks are now officially speaking like true Bruyneel riders: completely full of shit and making statements that bear zero relation to reality.

I remember Klöden saying some weeks ago, that Andy mustn`t wait for Frank and just has to attack. Otherwise he won`t win the Tour 2012.
Maybe Andy should listen to him this year.

Andy of course won't agree, because Andy losing is never Andy's fault.
In 2008 it was Sastre's fault for attacking when Riis told him to.
In 2009 it was the motorbikes' fault for pacing Contador up the climbs
In 2010 it was the chain's fault for slipping
In 2011 it was the descent's fault because it was dangerous and wet
It's never Andy's fault. Even though he's had quite literally the four routes in modern Tour history best suited to his one and only skill, the only thing in cycling that he does well, climbing, and he still didn't win. But it's still somehow not Andy's fault.
