wrong. the most corrupt countries are Japan and Korea followed by the USA. three of the world's most developed countries.
most countries above us in the ranking are very small nations. |

Nigeria must be among the most corrupt. There's a lot of 409 cases fraud cases there. |

honestly, I can't remember. it was on a magazine that comes with a newspaper (publico or expresso, can't remember) but I don't have it, so...
can't check.
anyway, it's just a study. doesn't mean it's necessarily true  |

I've just realised that the finish line isn't where I'd been told it would be.
it's in a very dangerous place. not as insane as a Tour of Britain stage finish, but pretty damn close  |

not really.
the UCI representative at the Volta ao Algarve in March said he was going to have a talk with the organisers because two of the stage finishes were dangerous and he was suprised because he says Portuguese races are usually very well organised.
so, again, that's just you bad-mouthing your own country. don't worry. everyone does it |

I was just saying that because I see too dangerous arrives in our country. Too tight roads in almost all the cities they arrive in a sprint finish. And the roads here are not too good to cycle. That climb to Montejunto, that the riders climbed ion the last Troféu Joaquim Agostinho, I can see the climb near my house and I went to see that stage, I just say to you, it is horrible to do by car, and much more horrible to do with a bike...

Darius Vassell for president!!!
I'll shut up now...
that's not even worth joking about
we'd all be in danger if Vassell was president, he couldn't hit a barn door witth a football, so imagine what he would be like teamed up with Bush
and i totally agree about the ToB finishes, completley dangerous, cars on the road, sometimes people crossing the road, well trying to quickly
it's chaos

Danny Pate is in the break and the advantage keeps increasing...decreasing...increasing...decreasing...
the peloton are just toying with the break. this will be a sprint finish, no doubt. |

I love it how they interview a different team DS live on TV every 10 minutes and they're always honest and truthfull in their answers |

yeah, he's a hoot.
apparently the peloton is avoiding a bunch finish because the finish is dangerous.
let's see... I was talking about being truthfull, but that didn't sound like it to me. BenÃtez is just in horrible shape, that's all.
