"Clerc has said the UCI should have stopped Rasmussen from starting and accused the world body of trying deliberately to spoil the Tour by allowing him to race."
How does that break down %/% of cyclists, race fans, spectators non- race fans? I'm disjointed cause I didn't get to watch the Rasmussen/Conturd/ Leaphimer/Evans/Hincapie race. ASO spoiled the race. On the daily ride: how many people are involved in the UCI urine chase? Can UCI tell the difference between fresh and and old urine? Can urine be reconstituted? Or blood samples? Does UCI whistle when you can't pee? pssss pssss pssss

Dumbass -
UCI vs. ASO reminds me of another sport which had 2 rivalrous organizations vying for power: CART vs. IRL (North American open wheel racing). The rivalry almost destroyed the sport. While they fought, NASCAR rose. Open wheel is now a distinct second fiddle, a far cry from the days when the Indianapolis 500 ruled psyche of North American fans.
there's the 3 grand tours, TV, and UCI now there's TV!!!!!!Rolex/IMSA/Sheldon Kinser/IRL/CART/FIA/FI/world cycle GP/ad nasuem 'stock cars' at Indy are roadsters at Indy, the type of vehicle the track was designed for. Notice the camera's corner position-dead on right? you can spend a lifetime at road racing circuits and not see that kinda racing over one afternoon. like the Rasmussen/Conturd/Evans/Leiphyner race ASO cheated us out of. Clerc's statement on Rasmussen ruining the TdF is truely bush. The peacock would kill him. I had not watched nascar/indy before-no TV. that's what TV should do to ASO except ASO appears to control the TV even Ligget blew a cork at the TV. took the TdF TV 3/4's of the Tour to collect their wits the roadsters were beatifull machines, leaving at least 8 dead last Sunday. The UCI makes money. Without the UCI, CHAOS!
