The dude in the background is hopefully making sure Rasmussen doesn’t trick anybody.
Because he’s the Chicken Tender.

After uncorking the time trial of his life on Saturday to retain the yellow jersey going into the first of three tough stages in the Pyrenees, Rabobank’s Michael Rasmussen was once again asked about allegations that in 2002 he had attempted to trick a friend into delivering him a package of hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier made [...]

Things are looking a bit grim for Mr. Mountaintop Michael Rasmussen:
In light of the fact that the Danish federation has kicked current yellow jersey, Michael Rasmussen, out of the national team, Tour director Christian Prudhomme called an impromptu press conference in Montpellier at 10:30 this morning.
Prudhomme informed the press that the Danish federation was unable [...]

I think this is it folks, no more Zabriskie videos for a while.
Till next year anyway.
There is no crying in cycling…

The old boy is looking tired. Seems impressed people actually watch the videos and yell “What game play?” at him from the side of the road.
What’d he expect bringing shit like that to the table? That line killed up in the Catskills…

Is Zabriskie’s Tour finished?
Sure sounds like it.
Zabriskie, the American time trial champion, is finished, however. He fell behind the last group and rode alone to the finish. He crossed the line 31 minutes behind Hunter, about six and a half minutes outside the time limit, which is determined based on the winner’s average speed and [...]

I guess the men in black story had something to it after all. Leading the Tour means nothing to the Danish National Team. You toe the line, or you stay home.

Hey all. Here is what I can figure out.
The guys at ARD and ZDF decided to pull coverage because it is still ‘a farce’. By that I mean as I mentioned in my reply to the original post, I said we all pay TV tax, to get better coverage, less commercials, uncensored boobs (ok, that’s [...]

A good writeup from Saul Raisin on his first bike race after his horrific accident at the Circuit de la Sarthe in April, 2006.
My team gave me clearance to participate in the race, so just as my friends were competing in the prologue to the Tour de France in London, I tested myself over [...]

Hey, hey. My, my.
Rock and roll with never die.
And, yo, CSC’s got frick’n lasers…

Ho, ho. Michael “Chicken” Rasmussen as much as called Denis Menchov a pussy after today’s stage of Le Tour. Quacks Big Bird, as quoted by VeloNews:
“I am very happy with today. Now there is no doubt about who is the captain of this team is. I felt very clear in the head today seeing the [...]

Zabel puts it out there: Amnesty.
Erik Zabel has called for an amnesty for those who confess to having doped. “I see an amnesty as the chance for cycling,” he told the German magazine, Welt am Sonntag. “The International Olympic Committee, the UCI and the national federations could set a deadline, giving everyone until [...]

I rode for three hours this morning.
I weight 210 pounds.
I just ate three turkey sandwitches.
I’m happier than a pig in shit.
Last Sunday I put 10 speed Dura Ace on my Moser. She was fixed until then.

All morning, when I was with the group ride, before I got [...]
