Dear ToC organizer:
Maybe circumstances will bring more to light, but: neutralizing today's ToC result because of a crash 9km from the finish? Um, since when? Is this outright Levi-getting-gold-jersey-in-home-town rigging (good marketing, I admit), or is there a valid sporting reason for extending the neutral zone to 9km from the usual and perhaps already longish 3km? The Disco team doing an all-out chase to try getting Levi back to the lead group indicates that the riders didn't think the results would be neutralized...
Sincerely,
Confused And Suspicious
PS. "As hard as it is to swallow, it's part of racing." BJM's team manager quoted in Velonews. Hmmm, that could've been a quote from Discovery had officials not neutralized the race...

I guess even the pros have to deal with some odd decision making by officials....
just got ""hell on wheels" in the mail.
was gonna do an NCNCA report blah-blah tonite.
plans have changed.
After watching "Hell on Wheels" I became a very big fan of Erik Zabel.
The soigneur seemed like the unsung star of the team.
I'm getting in the way of OV doing his homework. I'm such a bad influence...
It was a good movie. Olaf and queen are good roommates to pause the flick!
Awesome flick.
my email to the velo news guys basically said in a time when cycling is suffering from so many scandals related to cheating (doping), this just adds fuel to the fire that there is corruption in the sport.
it's all about the money, plain and simple.
