Amusing name association aside, it’s rather sad to see where this sport is going post-Armstrong.

It’s hardly worth following any more, all the top names are gone. Jan Ulrich, Lance Armstrong, Michael Rasmussen, Tyer Hamilton, Vino...I almost wouldn’t be surprised if they called off the whole thing.

I haven’t followed as closely this year, but will Disco support Levi or that Contador fellow?

Both are positioned well to take the yellow.

Oh, no. First Vino, now this. I feel sorry for whoever does win this year (young Contador, perhaps?) since there will always be that suspicion that they would not have been able to win if the “real” leaders had stayed in the race. A mess all around.
