It is better than his blue UCI skinsuit

Gotta love a place that has a cross race on a Monday and their are thousands of fans watching, drinking, eating and having a good time.

The BK's were on Sunday and Sven once again won. This is his 5th BK in the elite category. So today there was a race in Otegem that is more for showing off someone's new jersey. Sven toe'd the line in his new kit and as usual, won. I wish that we could get that fast of turn around time for our clothing.

Couple things about this kit:

The helmet does not go well.

His mechanic has done the black saddle, white tape again. Not PRO!!

But when you win every frickin race this year...you go with you know.

Positive or Negative....you make the call

Iban Mayo tested positive for EPO back at the Tour. B sample is negative. UCI wants a positive test sends it to the great lab, Châtenay-Malabry, and WOW!!!! the B sample is positive. Gotta love that type of testing procedures.

The Spaniards have said "Vete al diablo, Francia" and put the whole thing on ice. Too bad that our buddy Dick " I know LA doped" Pound has been showen the door at this point within WADA. He was a quote machine though.

We hardly knew you Frankie!

Frankie Andreau jumped before he was pushed from Rock Racing. Guess he didn't like the idea that his team was becoming a dopers last refuge. He should have fit in just well though with his shady past. Guess he also did not like the idea that Mike was going to be making the racing decisions even though Frankie was the DS and working the race. Or maybe he just tried on a pair of Rock and Republic jeans and asked his wife "Do these jeans make my ass look big?"

Anybody up for a road trip?

Starting Jan 23rd, the Astana kids will be bringing thier doping, I mean racing program to Albuquerque for a new year training camp. They must really love the green chili and the food because it can be damn cold down there in Jan and Feb. But it is better than the CSC training camp about 6 weeks ago that was above the Arctic cirlce.
