Hincapie will make the podium!
bad for business
As a prepatore, I wouldn't want Ullrich as one of my clients, since it's obvious the techniques used on the fatty don't work! This is starting to get silly.
[ed.note-I started writing this on Monday before everything below happened!]
ASO to riders: "F-you, F-you, you're cool, F-you!"
Please let it be that Basso has only visited this d-head just for "nutritional" info. He and Ullrich denied having dealt w/ him so lying is punishable by termination of contract, especially in light of Tour participation. Please let it be that he won the Giro w/out "assistance". This is starting to make me sick.
Frank Vandenbroucke isn't on the list!
"Paco" Mancebo never really won anything, how could he be friggin' doping? It's good to see that Valverde's name hasn't surfaced. I'm trying to come up w/ things to say here, but as everything starts to settle it's starting to feel like a friend has died. That sounds weird but as a lover of cycling you watch these guys pour their lives out on the mountains and pave of these races and you begin to connect w/ them. It could be that you just like their effort, or you see things in them that you recognize in yourself. When something like this happens you can't help but to be devastated. I have hope that the sport will always continue to sort itself out and situations like this won't happen again, but we all thought that after the '98 Festina affair.
The glove is starting to fit.
You can't help but to think of all the times Lance has said, "I've never tested positive for doping." None of the BIG names on that list have ever tested positive (if memory serves me right). If those guys were doping, AND starting to train like Armstrong did...
Millar Time!
On top of all this is the re-start of one of my favorite riders David Millar. Back from a 2 year bid from taking EPO during the Cofidis scuffle, he's ready to rock the prologue in his first race action since 2004! After the field has been decimated, I think he's got a good chance. Zabriske is still riding so maybe we'll still have a good battle on our hands.
So maybe Big George actually has a chance to get the podium after all!
