yeah i bet cadel is psyched….as a team leader with several new team mates he can take the burden of stuffed animal care off his mind….one stuffed animal to each team mate…a bottle…a diaper…a little sleepy time.

“thanks for burping Elle George. Sorry about that stain on your jersey”

Hey Andy and Dan –

Can you please get CJ to test and review this? Seems he doesn’t mind experimenting in the sensitive taint region and it’d be a damn nice thing to do for the rest of us. Thanks much.

Last frame is classic! Forget the dog. ATP doesn’t touch its big fish either!. Did McQuaid and Verdruggen work at the ATP before they got their jobs at UCI? Wonder if the ATP would go out and have beer with Agassi after matches the way the McQuaids did with Lance after the Tour of Ireland. All’s well when you’re corrupt! Question is, who will backstab whom first…….

Fuck’em. They dont deserve World Champ stripes on that squad. The squandered so many opportunities with shit domestique signings. I hope that team folds.

Its hard for me to see any GC results for this team in 2010. In fact, its hard for me to see any classics results for this team in 2010. Either Ardennes or the rocky cobbled ones. I like GH as a rider, but man, he is gettin’ old, and I know what that road is like…it sucks. Cuddles is a really good rider, but there are a bunch of others that are just better than him, so the GC’s are not in his wheelhouse. All those other dudes are not showing up in my karma-scope for podiums in 2010…Ballan, etc.
So why is BMC and the other sub-prime sponsors funding this team? How much of a loss are they all taking here?
I’m All-In, short on BMC to be the next great non-performing team in the coming years!

I think you gotta cut ’em some slack. This will be their first year back in the “big leagues” as it were since the Landis / Vino debacles. I would be surprised if they have a big year but they’ll hold their own and progress. Hincapie will be a big factor in bringing along young talent and Cuddles will second that. By next year I’d bet they’ll be really competitive

“of course you didn’t suspend him. the question is how much cash did you get?”

…not too concerned about a follow-up interview, i take it?

That was waaaaaaaaaay funny…. I particularly liked the cliched responses from GH. Seems like there’s a lot of that during TV coverage of cycling events. Just listen closely to Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett sometime. Ha, nice Aggassi refernce too!!!

Its good to see BMC frames back up with the big dogs. My soft spot for the Focus frames has certainly taken a hold but I’ll always have love for the swiss stuff.
I think George has atleast another good year of stompin left in’em. I’ll always hold out for him in Roubaix but with guys like Heinrich Haussler, Bossan Hagan, and the likes coming down the pipe, it’ll be tough for the old man. He’ll have to use a bit of his veteran smarts more so than ever. Last season that team got swamped @ Roubaix. It’s sorta hard to swallow a complete change in mentality but the signings are a great start. Stranger things have happened and well, riding for the stripes can bring a whole new element to the picture. I just hope Cadel can inspire the squad to get behind’em. The word on the street is that he can be a little over the top with ‘tude’. That Gesink business @ the vuelta didnt make’em look to good.
