Directeur sportif Joxean Fernandez Matxin was surprised as anybody. "We only found out ten minutes ago. The entire team is ceasing its operation, not only in the Tour de France."

That's bad news. I was thinking of buying a new hot water system from Saunier Duval. I'm not so sure now.

That is harsh. Team death penalty.

The sponsor must be very pissed.

I don't think McDumbass has gotten the memo.

You know this almost makes me wish JB's gang of dopers were there in the Tour. Pretty high chance that they would have been busted?

You still should. You just have to put the boiler on once a month and the hot water stays in your system for the entire time.

In times like this we need to refer to big george on the drugs issue:

George Hincapie of Team Columbia said, "We We can look at the positive side and that we're catching riders that cheat. The sport is doing what it can and it's [putting out] more effort than any other sport out there.

"We have to look to the future and I think we're doing everything we can to clean up our sport."

Hincapie's sports director, Rolf Aldag, was not too happy. "This is really disappointing. There have been a lot of rumours about him in the last few days but this a step back as he's a big fish and he's from a different generation. It was supposed to be a young and new breed but they need to know that they risk more than their careers. They risk the whole sport of cycling. He's caused a lot of damage to the Tour."

With the Cobra out, it means that Piti will have two stage wins, and that Lang will be in polka dots today. It will be some consolation for him after his effort in Super Besse was ruined by potato head.

Maybe the ASO should run world cycling. And the French Federation's break with the UCI is starting to look like a Martin Luther move against the Catholic Church.

Do you think S-D, Liquigas, and Barloworld will be invited next year?

If Rolfrae is right, S-D no longer exists!
