Well, the sun did rise this morning and the tour will go on….

Nice to see Jens in a break – he is my favorite rider. I love the guy and I believe, realy hope, he is clean.

Side note – here is a recap of last nights ESPN news:

1 – Rasmussen
2 – Bonds
3 – Vick

That took the first 10 minutes so switched to national news only to Lohan mug shot and some story about Michael Jacko…

Sigh

Yep. And Scott’s right – Zach Yeager is my next great hope! I’m putting all my money on the kid.

Probably time to revisit the original post: Time to start buying our heroes local.

Heidi,

I think we need some rehab therapy for fans to vent, cry, hope….

Todays stage was so beautiful. I marveled at the teamwork of Rabo and then Disco. AC put in some great attacks, Levi turned his legs inside out, Rasmussen was brilliant and what about Solar. It was a thing to behold. Now it will become another useless tape to stack on top of Floyd Stage 17 last year, Tyler at LBL and Museeuw at PR. I just cant bring myself to watch and enjoy those stages anymore knowing the real hero is probably the guy who lost 19 minutes clean.

More a cynic today than ever, tho still clinging to the hope that Levi is not next. Zach better turn pro soon so we have someone to cheer for.

Now Rasmussen… the tour is in shambles. :( What a mess. We each need our own fifths and our own kegs.

After today I think we all need a Fifth of something and a keg. This is so depressing. I really don’t know what to say.

Ugh.
Scott – you’re right. Basso was especially hard for me for some reason.
Cynicism is dead-on: I start each road season now with a sigh and an “I wonder who will go down this year?” comment to Sal.
Someone puts in some monster performance in the spring classics? My first thought: “He’s doping.”
Austin – Thanks for the bad news :( Oy! I will bring a bottle of whiskey to the support group – we can pour a little out for all our doping homies that have passed into infamy.

Ugh. . .more sad news today. Cofidis.

Maybe there should be a support group for the fans?
