Thank you for the Slipstream link! Loooove that argyle! And you can get one of their classy argyle jerseys: http://www.slipstreamsports.com/fun.get.html

I heard about them on NPR, but didn't know their team name. Thank you! Now I'll want to follow them, too.

And Eden, thanks for the women's links! Now I've got to choose a couple women's teams to follow (besides Group Health, of course!)

And "DopersSuck" website has plenty of anti-doping goodies (even pink socks) for those of us who wish to voice our displeasure: http://doperssuck.typepad.com/doperssuck/

If I may be so bold as to suggest the Webcor - Builder team, specifically Mara Abbot. She goes to school in Walla Walla these days which makes her pretty close to a local gal, the last time I looked she was leading the NRC (national race calendar) points competition and since she is so close you may even see her racing some of the local races at times (she of course did the tour of Walla Walla earlier this year). Of course unfortunately this means after I upgrade I will be racing with the likes of her........

All of that argyle and what - NO SOCKS!

Not only are they an ethical team, but they seem to be chock full o' talent, too. I watched Brad Huff smoke the field for 80-something laps at the CSC criterium race last year, and Danny Pate performed well at the Tour of California earlier this year. With so many of the established pros like Ulrich, Basso and Landis getting slammed by Operation Puerto and leaving us questioning their integrity, Slipstream's a good place to look for up and coming riders to root for, who likely won't end up with negative headlines.

And, yeah, Eden, they should have socks!


Sorry for the thread hi-jack...

I read this on cyclingnews.com today (Letters to Cyclingnews) and thought it was really cute & funny.

Landis case live coverage
I only wish that Cyclingnews would run minute by minute updates:

12:23 PM - Landis attorney attacks!

12:25 PM - LNDD Interpreter dropped - French speaking lab tech isolated.

12:35 PM - The 'yellow tie' still looking cool, has most of his legal team around him. Looking over his shoulder for LeMond to attack.

12:40 PM - Suh looks to be a lock for the 'red tie' for most aggressive lawyer.

1:10 PM - Uncle Ron attacks LeMond. Attack immediately responded to by LeMond domestiques.

1:23 PM - LeMond finally attacks Landis. This may be the move of the day. He opens up a gap and we see Landis suffering. Uncle Ron is also suffering and dropping off the back, unable to continue with the Landis group.

1:25 PM - Landis is clearly in trouble. Jacobs starts setting the pace with Landis on his wheel, trying to pull the yellow jersey back into the race.

So maybe there could be a ladies Tour de France? At the rate the pro riders are hitting the confessional and admitting that they doped in their past attempts for greatness, there'll be room for new clean riders to fill in. TE could fill the void!

ummm, might be a problem, I think my asthema medicines are steriods., so I'm out. And I do take them because I want to be a better rider Does it count when you take medicine to try to bring lung function UP to "normal?"

What the boys have been up to is really sad. Sad for them, sad for the sport.

Well said equus... wish you had been in the courtroom, commentating for us!
Sssssso funny!


And thanks for all the links to women's cycling ladies - I'm bookmarking this thread...!

bmcca... you could get a special certificate to ride with your meds, our Floyd (I still believe) rode despite the pain killers and meds he was on for his hip!

If selected, I will wear the "Red Lantern" with pride
