Contadork...

I just read Chris Horners blog and kind the real story behind his non selection.  Basically it come down to Bruyneel being a pussy and not taking control of his team ans Contoador prefering to have his pal rather than someone who will actually be able to help him win A Tour of France. What a giant tool.  I am officially a Contador hater now, I have been sitting the fence for a while...

Horner in The Corner...

I really do not know how Bruyneel can justify leaving Horner at home this July.  I know he has been hurt but every race he has done this year he has been killin’ it.  If this is the year that Kloden finally turns up “non negative” then Johan is really gonna look like a chump.  Oh an Contador and Armsrong to lead?  Yeah that should work out well. As long as I am...

Dog and Pony Show...

Is it just me or is the usual build up to A Tour of France especially crazy this year?  First we have the Astana show.  Rumors came out this week that Contador was going to Slipstream.  Can’t really say that I blame him.  Bruyneel has been incredibly wishy washy with regard to who is the real leader of the team (Lance) for A Tour.  I think Contador and the rest of the team...

Weed, Blow and Piles of Cash...

Pro cycling is starting to sound like the glory days of Studio 54.  A panel of “experts” concluded that Boonen only had indirect contact with Peruvian Marching Powder while in an alchohol induced blackout.  WTF?  What is indirect contact?  The coke just fly up his nose while he was “Leaving Las Vegas” drunk?  That makes it ok?  Who are these experts, Tom...

W.W.E.D?...

Here in the 801we have had a shit ton of rain this spring.  By this time of year my lawn is usually brown, this year I have friggin’ mushrooms growing on it. WTF? So needless to say riding in the rain has become a much more common occurance this year. Judging from the comments on Facebook and Twitter it seems that a lot of my 801 brethren are have a hard time finding the...
