Velo News Coverage of Lance's Seperation

I was surprised to see that www.velonews.com hasn't mentioned Lance's separation from his wife. This
may be surprising to some of you, but I'm not asking for speculation or rumor concerning what
happened. But I do feel that it should be mentioned. We're talking about a major life event for
someone who is arguably the greatest cyclist ever, let alone the greatest American rider. And no
mention whatsoever from the most influential source of cycling news in the US.

Thanks, Ronde Champ

From "Saturday news" on Velonews.com:

Armstrongs agree to temporary separation

Lance Armstrong announced Saturday he was separating from his wife Kristin after four-and-a-half
years of marriage.

"We're looking to sort out some delicate questions in the way that we've confronted other obstacles
in our life - together and with determination and commitment," the couple, who have three children,
told Saturday's edition of the Austin American-Stateman.

"It's possible that we'll have a period of separation so as to reflect on our relationship and work
to protect the interests of our family and our children."

Maybe they have better things to do ... like report on bike racing.

I stand corrected. I failed to notice this news piece as the last item (behind a story about Pantani
watching a soccer game) in your daily re-cap of events. I would've thought that an event surrounding
the sport's biggest figure would have at least deserved it's own headline.

Thanks, Ronde Champ

Heaven forbid actually talking about RACING! Who gives a rat's ass about Lance's marital problems?

If you've got the time and energy to sit around and contemplate that, you're not training enough!

".....arguably the greatest cyclist ever,....." !!! Not much of an argument there.

Most influential source? I think you have been spending too much time in this cesspool that is RBR.

Being one of the few actual racers on this group, I'm very disappointed it took you this long. You
must not have been paying attention.

I do a search on USA Race Results, 2001-2002 and find no one any good with the Name of "Ted <no
last name>"

So, tell us what you are hiding, or why mr. AOL Ted Meister.

"good" is such a relative term. Ted Huang is not a bad rider...but he does not fit the search
criteria, since he has a last name.

And the fact that Ted Huang would not use AOL.
