Mission accomplished then.

John, who's tempted to run some of the emails we got today in the next letters page, but will spare
the blushes of the 'caught'

Odd, since it looked like the source of many of those hoaxes came from this newsgroup. Especially
the white shorts. STF

I didn't pay much attention to the EU expansion ... and the white shorts bit got me. I didn't fully
realize it was a joke until I hit the Pantani story.

So I got hooked.

The one that got me was Pantani's ears. The white shorts actually sounded plausible for a second.

I remember years ago, a standup routine by david brenner where he described practical jokes he and
his friends used to do. He worked at the morgue of the Philadelphia Inquirer and would take out
copies from years earlier, which looked nice and new because of course they're preserved. He'd take
one on the bus and sit down and open it, and everyone would see headlines like "Germany Bombs
London". LOL. Stuff like that cracks me up- mixed nuts with the snake in it, the broom in the face,
the rake in the eye...hahah.

Speaking of which, anyone have a three stooges jersey from Revi? I got a couple of them. They get a
lot of amused looks.

Liked this one on official SCU website

http://www.scuonline.org/newsdetail.asp?Nid=157&DID=8

"When the rider reaches the paddock the bike is plugged into a lap-top and the exact suspension
travel, compression, and extension is downloaded into a special programme that creates an equal but
opposite suspension setting."

Cheers! Stephen

Trust me, the white shorts issue was being debated by us in the office long before we read it on
RBR. Team Freewheel was partly RBR inspired,and partly inspired by a press release we got from the
Hoogivsadam team.

cheers, Jeff

yeah, that's what made me think about it. I guess the special is timed for April Fools, duhhhh... a
whole hour of rake in the eye, brooms in the face, and tongues being pulled with pliers! Sounds
great to me.

Two of my friends glanced through the April 1 special edition, and didn't detect the jokes.
Apparently, they weren't the only ones. Gotta love the skewering of Pantani by the racing website of
record. Greg Miller

The Belgian tradition is to mix one hoax with the real news. The utterly serious and boring
financial news channel Kanaal Z saw Davitamon producer Marc Coucke on the hometrainer, preparing the
Ronde as the QSD team is troubled by infections. Lefevere assessed his chances. Actually it looked
more like a sham add when Coucke took some of his red pills.

As indeed here in Holland. The Jeugdjournaal (tv news for youth) always has a good one. Now it was
prime minister JP Balkenende announcing (in person) he would play Harry Potter's father in the
next movie.

Sorry, not cycling related.

How come no Masters 35+ category?

For safety and control, the Park asked us to limit the race to four fields (we sort of have five in
the women's 1-2-3 and 4, but they are combined).
