News about Scott Sunderland who parted with Cervelo a few days ago. He says that he'll lead a great new cycling team in 2010. We won't reveil who's financing it, though, but it could very well be the new British cycling team which the president of the British cycling union have been talking about a few times, e.g. by saying that there'll most probably be a professional British team in Tour de France in 2010.
I wouldnt count on it. Brailsford said he wanted to be DS a few months back. Personally i dont want to great british team in the way it is looking now. Id rather it be a british team with international riders there too not just british. |

Yes, but when i say DS i mean the leading DS. No way is Sunderland only a second hand DS nowadays he could lead any team if he wanted. He is really experienced. |

Garmin will have a team documentary, preview at team presentation in november. I'm sure it will be better than CSC Overcoming 
From Velonews:
We’ll be showing a 10-minute preview of a film that will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, it’s a year-long documentary on our team. I am looking forward to the preview, I think it’s going to be pretty darn cool. |

Wait....Sestriére, not Sestriere. So, the french side of the climb? that would mean a big detour around some usual Tour climbs. That only ever happens every 4 or 5 years in the Giro. |

With Contador now saying that he won't defend his Giro title, and Armstrong saying that he'll go there for the first time, it's just another indication that Armstrong won't show up at the Tour -- I think. |

This is the kind of thing that isn't really news and that doesn't really fit anywhere.
Why do I mention this? Because for ages I thought we needed a sort of general purpose thread. Once in a while I have a random thought/whatever that I never post because I can't really think where it should go.
Maybe it's just me  |

or if not just set up a random comments thread yourself, although I agree that it has to justify setting um a thread for a random thought |

Precisely, it's mostly small stuff that doesn't warrant it's own thread. |
