Great to see that Ceramica have learned from their non-invite to the Giro this year. 
Good, they won't be getting into the major races very quickly.

I think so.
They'll get into the Giro.
Remember Ricco rode the Giro clean.
Still couldn't beat a Contador who prepared for the Giro with a couple of weeks at the beach though. |

I know that it's a bit "sad" to start yet another pro/con Armstrong discussion, but this article pretty much sums up why I don't like the guy.

That's really really an insult to cycling.
But the thing that I fear is that I really think he'll be able to win the Tour.
Hope really things will be far different from that. |

Saxo Bank have a new sponsor.
It's the spanish vacation resort where riders used to go to get treatments from Fuentes' lab that is a few hundred meters away from it.
I'm serious.

Kohl also admitted that during his professional career, there was only one period where he did not engage in doping practices; from 2003 to 2004, while riding for the Rabobank Continental Team. “Doping played no role there, as far as I could tell. That was my cleanest time. I was shown that it was possible without doping.” |

Trouble in the Astana camp
"Have u ever been in a situation when u tried to help some1, but at the end that same person says u worked against him? Not nice." - Jani Brajkovic
Armstrong?
EDIT: also, from Greg Henderson's twitter yesterday:
"Some interesting announcements to be made tomorrow. Very interesting. All good for the sport of cycling though."
