Holy crap, this place is dead

Bro Deal

I lost my mojo when it comes to pro cycling. I was hoping I could get it back before the TdF, but this place is not helping.

I don't read the FID much. Sometimes I open the last page.

I was on vacation and leaving the internet surfing behind, except for 1 night.

Back in time to catch up on cycling news.

I'm with Bro. You know what...... everyone was pumped start of the season & the first few races.... once the Giro rolled around the same old bullshit came out....... Sella & Contador spoilt a wonderful clean season and dragged it back to what we've seen for the last 15 years.... it was just more of the same..... UCI trumpeting on that Contador was clean but not giving the same assurances about any other rider and Bruyneel running the same spin about broken elbows, hayfever and beach holidays.... I for one have lost some of the passion......... only if French riders start winning will I believe again.......

Yeah. French guys winning was cool. I am hopeful that the tour will be exciting this year. Not the same 10 guys in the lead group on every mountain stahe. I want to see a GC contender grab five minutes on the field and then loose 25 minutes the next day. I want to see human beings race. Not some juiced racing machine like Big Brown (for the non-Americans, Big Brown is a horse that won the Kentucky Derby admittedly juiced to the gills this year).

Ok Malkmus, you've gone too far now. You can talk about all of these bike boys all you want, but Big Brown was clean dangit:

Not according to the guy that was juicing the horse:

Awesome. That is definatley on my summer reading list. You know, I think he is going to pull it off again this year. Can't wait for the Tour.

Hey, is it true that Alberto is skipping the Tour to concentrate on the Olympics? How cool is that. Looks like it is up to Levi now.
