  1. I don't know if anyone else here reads the Fat Cyclist blog, but it's
    reasonably funny.

    A recent post is a long, comic review of the UCI ProTour teams:

    eview/

    A sample:

    "4. Caisse d¹Epargne. Key Riders: Arroyo-Duran, Alejandro Valverde and
    Oscar Perreiro. Oscar Perreiro is favored to win Œsome race or another,
    probably accidentally or by some weird happenstance, like the UCI
    decides to start enforcing anti-doping rules again briefly and for no
    apparent reason.¹ He is known as a rider who is an okay sprinter, but
    not very good; a decent climber, but not really much of a climber at
    all; and a strong man rouleur who is really kind of weak when you get
    right down to it. He is the really, really poor man¹s Jens Voigt, except
    with none of the testicular fortitude, about 75% of the strength, and
    about 1000% more luck...."
