Rock Drinking at the Last Chance Saloon

Seems that Mr Ball has to put up, or shut up............today.
Cyclingnews headline, this morning.

The Rock Racing team has 24 hours to get its bank guarantee to the UCI or it will not be given a license, USA Cycling confirmed Thursday.

And only days after that typically bombastic interview he gave in cyclingnews.com...

"Ball Still In Play" (sic)

This was an annoying interview, cyclingnews.com just seems to be hosting people's PR. If you're going to interview Ball, you'd normally prepare or follow up with a check by calling the UCI or confirming his statements. Did anyone put in a call to the UCI to check if the deposit had been paid, has anyone asked for a set of accounts for the team? I'm not expecting Woodward and Bernstein on the case but just a little balance and backup.

I thought the Rock Racing ads said "HERE TO STAY" ?

Rock Racing are here to stay.

Licence secured at the last minute.

Right, organisers, start inviting them to races on the condition they bring the chicks.
