    Who's the bloke with the tattoo on his face?

    Rock Racing has a selection - tattoos everywhere, including his face - David Clinger. Tattoos everywhere except his face - Kayle Leogrande

    Plus the girls have an assortment of "tramp stamps"

    We could all stand at the top of climbs with 'Dopers - Rock Off' banners ?

    Still listed on the RR roster - http://www.rockracing.com/team/index.php but he's currently blocking up the courts http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/iteam/ ... -with.html

    Sorry, I'll be too busy trying to stick a testosterone patch onto Cav.

    You could just stick a microphone in front of him - it seems to get his levels right up.

    I'm with Doobz, it's only the cycling "purists" who are uncomfortable with RR's image. Cycling already has a p*ss poor image among non-cyclists, wait until they see the hard-rock uniform of RR tearing around the UK!

    Funny how acts like Amy Winehouse,Oasis,Rolling Stones, Guns and Roses ad infinitum etc are glamourised for excess/drug (ab)use and punters clamour for tickets but a cyclist who has taken drugs, well that's just plain wrong

    agreed, without drugs we wouldn't have any decent music. Who could argue that they aren't performance enhancing in the music world (apart from John Bonham, Tim Buckley, Kirt Cobain, Ian Curtis, Nick Drake, "mama" Cass, Jimmy Hendrix.......)?

    I'm pleased they're coming, despite being - at best - ethically suspect. The ToB needs some energy and star quality. I've spent the last 2 on windy hilltops surrounded by old men talking about the 'milk race' - contrast that with what happens on the climbs of the Giro! http://youtube.com/watch?v=YycfLSOwrcA (I'm going to the Giro next year just on the basis of this clip!)

    ToB isn't exactly a first class race is it, so if one of the RR boys wins it, no-one will actually care too much. I understand CSC/Saxo are sending a B-team too, that's cool.
    You just have to ride like you never have to breathe again.

    Hmm I suppose it depends on your definition of A and B. I mean O'Grady and McGee are firmly A class (at least in their disciplines) and Matthew Goss is A class in terms of The ToB, as a former stage winner and yellow jersey.

    But hey, A, B, C whatever, they're still the world's number one team.
