I'd like to thank Floyd Landis for freeing up three weeks out of my summer. His was the last high-profile doping positive that I could stand, so now I don't bother to watch the TdF.

Thanks, Floyd! Oh, and Floyd: When you're out of money and Armstrong stops returning your calls, will you consider writing a tell-all book?

I've still got an autograph you signed for me when I was just getting in to mountain bike racing. I'm not sure whether I should piss on it or keep it to remind me that cheats always get their comeuppance.
