double upset for leipheimer as he found out he cannot ride in the tour de france with team astana and then he came in 4th in the prologue time trial w/ cancellera taking 1st

So as far as I can tell, almost all the riders I'm interested in won't be riding the TdF. I guess by now they can't switch teams, or petition the organisers to let them in after all, right?

even though team astana got rid of all the doping riders for last year (vinokourov?) they are still banned from the tour this year
levi is on astana = levi is banneds

the nice thing about the steroids in baseball controversy is that now american ppls can be as bored by sporting fraud as cycling or track and field fans have been for like the last 5 yrs
the aso/protour political/economic issue that is truly the heart of astana's exclusion is boring too. for real amusement i prefer the backcountry trailer park methlab with crack whores sideshow that is mr b4ll and his r0ck r4cing. now thats some funny dysfunctional shit.

Gerolsteiner's Kohl on Cipo:
"The entrance of his Rock & Republic Racing Team was really very cool. The team arrived in Rolls Royces, and were accompanied by a lot of promotion girls. 'Super Mario' appeared at the start with four bodyguards, all in black."

it would be even cooler if they had Hamilton driving them dressed up like a midget chauffeur, yelling "ze plane ze plane" or some shit as he got out of the Rolls.

on those lines, after i had been racing a few years at pretty much my normal bodyweight i decided i would try to be able to hang on the long climbs, so i went from a lean 173 to 157.
i then went on a family trip. after hellos, my one sister collared my other sister, and thinking i was out of earshot said 'omfg he looks like he has aids hes skeletal.'
my reaction- YES!!

11:34 PST Steven Cozza seems to be taking personal grooming lessons from David Zabriskie. He's sporting a Yosemite Sam moustache, which is quite unlike anything we've seen in the peloton before.
11:36 PST Cozza could be the root'inous, toot'inous, shoot'inous bike racer North, East aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand west of the Pecos!
