Sorry, Rock Racing AGAIN

Mr Ball is a genius!

Writing a cheque for the Tour of Cali organisers is a masterstroke. And I love the way he bans Velonews yet they still cover his team in a massive article.

After they kick Leogrande out for 'suspicion of doping' they'll have to give Mr. Ball's contribution back... Now, that would be ironic!

I think Mr. Ball is hoping and praying that Leogrande gets kicked out. Net result - more PR. Net cost? Zero.
I personally think Leograndes "lawsuit "is just a stunt to set up this showdown.

If the organisers really want to upset Ball, let Leogrande in and cash the cheque!

I think you're under estimating Ball. He'd turn it around - Juice up one of his riders during the race so they're sure to test positive and see what happens.

Can't wait to see him saying "I OWN THIS RACE"

I quite like this Rock racing owner. He's funny. I see he's signed Tyler. But Tyler's website is down I see and heard nothing in the media.
