    his bike is taking one for the team though...

    Oakley have to give him up soon. Ray-Ban will be loving this.

    not seen that reported yet, any links to that ?

    So as he said "I'll be a Nike, Oakley and Giro man for life". Just a shame that sentiment wasn't reciprocated

    Bet they wish they still had Lemond, at least then they would have had the only ever US Tour winner on the books

    Fixed.

    On BBC:
    "Another of Armstrong's sponsors, sportswear firm Oakley, said: "As we have stated in the past, Oakley does not approve in any way the use of illegal substances for enhancing performance in sports.

    "Our policy with our athletes is to support them until proven guilty by the highest governing body of sport or court of law. We are reviewing the extensive report from the Usada, as well as our relationship with Lance, and will await final decision-making by the International Cycling Union." "

    Clinging on.

    Oakley and Ray Ban are the same company, Luxiotica.

    In my own little way I am boycotting Oakley by only wearing the finest Chinese fakes sold by 'shiningstar' on eBay. Is it too late to nominate me for a Nobel prize?

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Thank you. As you can tell from my avatar, I am not one to blow my own trumpet.

    Yeah right, I bet you think Zipp and SRAM are bedfellows as well




    Don't worry I'm turning up the irony on my keyboard as we speak.

    Sram abandon lance as well, although still supporting Livestrong.

    I think it is from earlier this year and a Brazilian Nike thing if that makes it any better. Not that it does in my view. Blood bags and pro-sports? That was a stupid idea earlier this year just as much as its a stupid idea now. :(

    Or it is as you suggest a very poor joke.
    Correlation is not causation.
