I signed it and I think everyone who loves cycling should.
Everyone not willing to support morally the best cycling talent of the last
15 years is not worth of posting on this ng.

All kidding aside, from what his father had to say about faking the suicide
and having just a normal husband/wife argument, you really have to wonder if
he's getting the help he really needs. I have the sad feeling that by the
end of the year he may no longer be with us. Hope I'm wrong.

His father did reveal a lot to explain what has happened to him during this
dark period. He met his current wife while competing in Verona at the WC
road race and his life has been in a shambles since then. He likely was
borderline depressed and then hooked up with a model that was a really bad
influence on him under the circumstances. It sounds really ugly. The culture
of Latin women (in general) is to be very dramatic and manipulative if they
can get away with it. The old ethic about cyclists staying celibate
originates from relationships like Frank is going through. One win since he
met her and it was in a crit.

ROTFL
Considering "Latin" a woman from Verona shows how much you know about
Europe. In Verona people are as "Latin" as they are in Salzburg or Munchen.
Verona was part of the Austrian Empire until 1861 and the people there
share the kind of culture that is commonly known as MittleEuropa.

Please go back to discuss about Texas longhorns.

Goddamn Chris. Get it right: The culture of WOMEN (in general) is to
be dramatic and manipulative if they can get away with it. It's not a
Latin (or Jewish) thing, it's genetic. Men have muscles, women have
guile.

"In general Latin women are manipulative if they can get away with
it"? Brilliant. You're a jackass.

Tosi,
In La meglio gioventu I found the blonde women who turned terrorist a rather
odd casting. She looked *very* Nordic. Is she Italian, and/or what's the
story if any?

I have not seen "La meglio gioventù", because that's not the kind of movies
I like. I don't think the so called "realistic" style is real Cinema.
I either like completely overstating movies, like Tarantino or von Trier
shoot, or completely introspective stuff, like most of the East Europe
movies after Tarkowskij. So I am not interested in present days Italian
movies in the least. The last great Italian moviemakers were Sergio Leone
and the early Dario Argento.

Having said that, I checked who the actress in question is. It seems it's
Sonia Bergamasco (here's a google picture gallery:
http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=%22sonia%20bergamasco%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi)
As the name may suggest (Bergamasco means from Bergamo) she's tipically
Lombard. I don't know if you have ever been to Northern Italy, but that's
the way most women look around here. Don't forget that the autoctonous
populations here come either from the early celtic pre-roman inhabitants
(the so called Ox Gauls) or from the Germanic invaders (Lombards, Goths
etc...) that invaded the Po valley in the IV-V-VI century AD. The old
Romans never really settled here and the few that were were mostly
exterminated by the invaders, which on the other hand left almost untouched
the celtic rurals. In the North Eastern part of Italy the locals even mixed
with slavic people at the times of the Venice Republic (which included most
of nowadays Yugoslavia) and of the Austrian Empire. Then you have girls
like MTB champion Paola Pezzo, who look a lot like East Europe women.
Usually, here in the Po valley, when you see someone that looks
stereotipically "Italian" (ie short, olive complexion, fat ass, greek nose
etc...) it's someone descending from people that emigrated from South to
North after WW2. In some big towns, like Turin, right now they are more
than 50% of the inhabitants, but they are not more native than the
Maghrebians are in the Paris banlieu.
Anthropometrically they are so different from us that just by walking on
the road I can tell you who's native and who's not with not more than 5%
error margin. In the women the difference is even more evident than in men.
Southern/Roman women tend to be very curvaceous, full figured, olive
skinned, with really marked facelines.

Northern women are way more slender, taller, milk skinned, with rounder
facelines.
