Welcome to the Tue, 11/12/2009 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

Looks like Greg will get his day in court, or a big pay(off)out.
(I must say I love the last Lemond bike I rode, Tete de Course half carbon/half titanium…can’t say that about a Trek.)
But c’mon, they both used what was available during their era, except Armstrong perfected the practice.
Well if allegations are true, Trek sure didn’t “perfect the practice” of “doping” Greg about their sales efforts if Trek only sold $10,393 worth over almost 6 years. They should have sold a bit more to make sticking to their contractual obligation a bit more believable…
