Care to point out anyone in the peloton that isn't doing it for money and fame ?

your average domestique or manservant?

They're doing it because originally they wanted fame.. Then found out they weren't good enough but had already spent too much time cycling, and not enough time in education to do anything else

I really don't think many of them are after fame. Money, yes, fame, no. There are plenty of top level cyclists who generally keep a low profile. They are some that relish the limelight, but just as many that shy away from it.

Putting in the hard miles all the time. True Champ.

Should He not be on His bike, rather than posing for a picture, to put in the hard miles?

Was that the sonic one from Frenchies dummy when he gets backed into a corner ?

frenchfighter

The 'corners' really are a figment of your imagination.

I'm just selective in my responses. and am under no obligation to any one.

Yep. I just cannot understand why he and Och both get a free pass i.e. continually go unchallenged (and by extension, BMC)

Just read here, earlier, about whether Pat might be protecting AC or any other bike rider which reminds me of an eye opening article in Procycling where the head of cycling from the early 1950's to the early 80's, Adriano Rodoni, was pretty much for hire. The article said that he was running a pretty shoddy set up. With this history, maybe the heads of cycling have always have always been a little on the bent side. :?

Ps- Nice to see Valverde winning again, Route de Sud. :?

Pat McQuaid may be a bad President, but he's probably the best bad President the sport has had.

Yep - always surprised by the confusion surrounding it. DR is a dick, but what he said is crystal clear.

Not sure whether DR knew what he was on about. It kind of outlined how much his lot didn't know about anything.

It was said about Rodoni that, instead of trying to bufuddle like DR, that he used to bat away difficult questions by going on and on and on and on. Maybe a tactic for the future for the UCI answering any tricky issues in the future??

Not really. He was saying that they didn't know everything (as opposed to anything). It's just that the things they didn't know were rather crucial. DR is a dick though, that bit is also clear

This morning's update from Puerto Watch:

the Fallen Angel (Vicioso, now suspended by Katusha) and Marcos Serrano testify today

Richmond Racer

Vicioso on the stand telling lots of big porkies. Or lots of puig major.

Never used Fuentes to dope. Never blood doped. Shown his racing calendar with the dope symbols - doesnt recognise, says he has a copy of the racing calendar but without the symbols. Doesnt know what they mean. His calendar shows two dates marked E & R (exctraction and reinfusion). Claims not to remember what happended on those days.

Macaloon

I think if you're going to put riders at risk of perjury or career suicide, you should really start at the top of the foodchain with people who can at least afford to defend themselves. If, instead, you pick on the runts of the litter from the runtiest sport, you look like pathetic, weak bullies. This farce makes me puke.

Macaloon

Thanks for the updates, RR. :evil:

Richmond Racer

Well, at least Belma - the Kelme manager - is in the dock...and Labarta, the trainer...

Macaloon

At last: the waffer-thin mints.

Richmond Racer

Serrano continuing the perjury trend...

Remind me again, who thinks T&R would stand an iceberg's chance in hell of working, when people are only too ready to perjure themselves and risk prison?

Macaloon

Relax. All these dudes have back-stage immunity passes from Spanish Government prosecutors in return for not bringing the whole house down. It's similar to South African State nominating an attempted murder suspect as main Pistorius investigator. Helps keep the natives from asking too many awkward questions.
