    The whole Tour thing with Vino is what really made me mad. Knock on wood that he was not involved, but the fact that he got shut out because he didn't have enough teammates left - because of their involvement with events while on a different team - that was just a huge injustice.

    And Valverde may have gotten a karmic end to the Tour for a reason.

    Remember Simoni's "extraterrestrial" comments about Basso after the Giro? Simoni's not looking like nearly such a whiner anymore....

    nope.....not at all. In fact, I think we have all been duped.

    At least he's said it. Finally. Now he can move on.
    'Tis a question what Brunyeel knew and where he was in all this the past few months. And the rest of the Discovery team and management.

    Remember David Millar 3 years ago? Confessed, did his 2 year stand down and came back just as good if not better last year. Not to mention older and wiser.
