Que up track 12 on Pablo Honey, Blowout, and turn your stereo up to 11.

I love those guys. I thought they were from Illinois or something. Jesus. I’m an imp.

Seriously? You’re kidding right? You still have those cd’s I burned you way back when, surely on an ipod now though. Best band of the last 20 years.

This thing with Brad jumping to SKY got under my skin. It’s not so much that he wants to move to a team in his home country and be a key player in that movement – I can totally get that – but it’s more the attitude towards Garmin. Vaughters picked up an overweight track rider who’s GT record amounted to little more than breaking down in tears on the roadside when the bunch wouldn’t chase him down during his day-long solo breakaway.

JT saw potential, picked him up, nourished him, and showed him great devotion and commitment. The way I was raised, you should have some respect for that kind of thing and have some dignity in how your interact and communicate with your team. Even if that means he did the right thing to jump ship, he owed Garmin the respect to do that with more dignity than he did. It’s not in what he did, it’s in how he did it.

I agree with you though in terms of GT hopeful, although I am skeptical that he can repeat. We’ll have to see. He’s a tall boy, too, which is all the more reason to like him, but he’ll have to win me over again (like he did last year during the Tour).

As for Cuntador, I think he’ll be a smaller force without Bruyneel and company. I think he hugely overestimated his own contribution to his success. As much as I dislike Pharmstrong, at least he valued his teammates and understood their contribution to his phenomenal streak.

Oh, and Brad Wiggins can go fuck himself. And get a fucking haircut, you’re not a member of the Beetles.
Sweet-looking kit, though.

C’mon man, Wiggo was the darling of the tour last year. From GT zero to hero in three easy stages. I support him just for the plain fact that he’s another strong rider who could have a go of it. I don’t want to see another Bert coronation any more than another Lance coronation. Other than those two and one Schleck what is there? Poor old Cadel, now fookin way. As for the haircut, I agree. It’s sort of that nerdy trackstar rockets into cycling fame makeover. I’d say he’s taking his fashion template from Thom Yorke more than Lennon and McCartney though.

And dude, you got a case of the Mondays today or what. That was a tirade.

Sorry, Flecha is a tool and definitely not a hardman. Anyone with that stupid of a victory salute deserves to be sanctioned for High Douchery. Hopefully now that he has his semi-classic win out of the way early, he will be out of form by the cobbled week and will not cause any more race-deciding crashes.

I am with you guys as far as SKY goes. Anyone can throw a massive pile of money at the wall and build a good team; how about doing it the Saxo way and building riders up from scratch? Pisses me off.

john :!??!*#@#!&&! MF’er. Another link that didn’t show up. HTML. I’m an egit. My point was, this jersey is available at http://www.prendas.co.uk. I’m done here. caio.

Cool site. I want the Brooklyn and Z jerseys but am holding out for the velominati kit.

Flecha is the best and I’m glad he won but am I the only one hoping SKY implodes? riders.

The yankees analogy is good. Add Rupert Murdoch and it gets darker. For me SKy represents the parts being larger than the whole. I like a lot of the riders on that team but shouldn’t cycling teams have to slog it out and build themselves for a couple years instead of being automatic tour contenders? Oh, you could probably replace Yankees with Radioshack. Let’s face it, it’s huge business and Sky is shifting the paradigm even further.
