  • What will happen to our Andreas? You'd think he's up to his eyeballs in 'it' as he was/is team-mates and best mates with the likes of Ullrich and Vino, but he's come out with an interesting statement:

    If AK is clean I feel sorry for him, but in general I'm glad Astana are on a downward spiral.

    Klöden had announced (I think yesterday) he wouldn't participate in an Astana training camp, so there is speculation about him stopping.

  • I thought he had to retire to avoid a police investigation :?:

    He's obviously given up on the team and focusing instead on preparing to do well at the Worlds, where a lot of the team transfer deals are done.

    If Kloden is clean, then boy is he stupid. Isn't he Ullrich's best friend or something? And he didn't know? And then after that blows up he goes and joins Vino? Hmm.

    Kloden is a class rider and probably one of the best all-rounders over the past ten years, but his career decisions have been unwise to say the least.

    You know Kloeden is a bit of an oddball in the peloton, at times he can be a brilliant rider and an eloquent speaker (the attack on Armstrong's I ride my bike at Xmas lecture) but most of the time he is dull and conservative when racing and morose and bitterly silent....

    Cannot quite figure him..... :?

    So is he really a lamb surrounded by wolves? :?

    Rumour has it Vino got a couple of pints of Kloeden's blood by mistake. All of a sudden the attacking stopped and he started wheel-sucking...
