not surprise. RCS and ASO together. They angeee with Kazakhstan bici federation, real nature behind Astana-Breyneel doping.

Funny. RCS logic must now stop Menchov- Rabobank from Vuelta. He sad yesterday not defend his Vuelta and call Giro training for Tour.. Crazy, crazy

What is interesting is that no other team managers have come out in support of Astana or Bruyneel........ Riis must be laughing alll the way to the blood bank at the moment.....

Probably JB would get some little and polite support in front of reporters but none in the anti-chambre!

Managers like Riis were smart enough to see which way the wind was blowing after OP. Bruyneel saw teams scrambling to get rid of their ties to doping as an opportunity. I am sure it pissed off a lot of other teams.

THAT is exactly the mentality that I detest so much about him. He went after Basso knowing full well that he doped. I know he gave him the "I looked into his eyes/soul" test, but if that is all it takes to sell the guy, I have some used condoms that are just as good as new that I would like to run by him.

I think your powers of accurate analysis are right on that one, now that you mention it.

Gusev fractured his right collarbone in the resulting crash, and underwent surgery at the Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica to repair the break. The doctors inserted a plate and screws to stabilize the fracture and ensure a quick recovery.

Gusev, one of the team leaders for the classics, is expected to resume training in 10 days, and is hoping to return to competition within a month's time.
