Dunno. That's one bit of news to which I haven't paid much attention. It's less interesting than a team being sponsored by cows on bicycles.Originally Posted by 7rider

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Are you thinking dog meat, or chihuahuas riding on cows on bicycles?
Now you've got me thinking about the old Taco Hell commercials..."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road?

All the teams pulled out of the Pro Tour. The teams at the TdF voted to do it, and then Astana said they would go along with the majority.

OK, now Scott-American Beef has to be the MOST ridiculous name for a pro bike team. I doubt those guys are downing many cheeseburgers no matter how much they ride...

So, le Tour is over. Oh sure, there's tomorrow but nobody will challenge. I'll be enjoying the traditional breakfast, getting to get up at zero dark thirty and head over to Spazzdog's place for bagels, lox and cream cheese and watch the last day of the Tour.

Waiter, waiter!
I'll take one order of beefcake, here, please!
(heck, why stop at one!)...
Ok, anyway, well, I will watch tomorrow's stage but sad that it will be anticlimactic. However, I actually found today's TT somewhat exciting.

All of these new sponsors are making me hungry for some Mexican grub -- i.e. American Beef, Chipotle restaurant chain, etc. -- but alas, all of which would make me, after an hour or two, er....as Phil says....Leeky-gas.
Heh.
