    Does that fee include the "extract of cortisone" injection?

    Thanks,

  4. Check the link jackass. It's their team's website advertising for riders. Come on all you children of yuppie parents. Now's your chance. This is what your parents pay your coach thousands of dollars for. Just because you have no talent or drive or heart doesn't mean that you can't be a pro cyclist.

    What a freakin' joke that is. I thought the point of being a pro was so that you didn't have to pay for all of your [censored]. What's the point? You can probably get a better deal riding for an amateur elite team.

    It is like baseball fantasy camp for wantabe pro bike racers. Pay $9K and
    you get to dress-up like a pro and rub shoulders with some pros for a little
    while.

    Actually it makes a lot of sense for a Neo-pro that has no outstanding
    talent.
    In almost every profession out there you need to buy the tools of
    trade. Sales men, mechanics, cooks, plumbers all need special tools.
    The purpose of turning pro is not to "you can get your bike stuff for
    free", it is to make a living racing bikes. I'm sure the fee would be
    waived for anybody that had a proven record as a winner.
    Part of the problem with US Pros is they feel that they are above it
    all, They are so "awesome" because they are pros, so the world owes
    them.
    If the rider is worth a damn, then the $9000 fee would be offset by
    winnings in no time.
    Sort of a "[censored] or get of the pot", for big mouths that claim they got
    what it takes but don't have a ride.

  15. Little Gillie,

    You need to look inward and ask yourself some questions.

    Was Strock doing some "funky stuff" when he was on the amateur Banesto team in
    Spain?

    At what point did Strock take matters into his own hands begin giving himself
    injections?

    Didn't I teach you well enough to think before you act?

    Except that you have to be Cat 1, apparently. That pretty well stops
    the Fred factor.

    I think you have a GREAT idea, though. There's a market for this.

  18. According to Strock's lawsuit, he had his pants pulled down and was
    given an injection of "extract of cortisone" by the guy who's asking
    $9,000 to ride on his team.

    And you got a problem with me?

    Miller Beer,

    Having riders pay a team to race for them is a [censored] Ponzi scheme if
    I've heard one.

    No racer will make that $9,000 back in prize winnings because it's a lot
    harder to get in the money in pro races. Show me where a Subway rider
    got a top 5 in an NRC race this year?

    That team will implode with a business plan like that.

    Maybe they can get that fatso Jared who eats Subway sandwiches to race
    for them. He makes more money from doing commercials than the Subway
    riders do from racing.

    Take care,

    Magilla

    I think you have a GREAT idea, though. There's a market for this.

    That makes this team sort of a "last chance saloon". Still, there are
    occasionally talented riders that get stuck without a team and nothing could
    be worse than racing unattached. Don't you think it makes more sense to join
    under those terms than trying to do it all on your own? As long as the
    contract allows you to join a paying team at any time, that seems like a
    good safety net for some. I remember Bobby Julich was racing unattached
    before Motorola (when he raced only a few months in late '96 IIRC) and
    Cofidis. I don't remember when he left the national team though...I want to
    say after the '92 Olympics (the last to leave out pro cyclists) but I just
    don't recall. I think he was on the LA Sheriffs from '93...anyway, I hope
    you get the idea.
