Google ads
Anyone notice that Bicycling.com has Google Ads for “Floyd Landis” and the TdF? Novel, uh, approach.
by Sui Juris on Jul 6, 2009 10:32 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Bicycling is so ahead of the times
Speaking of Floyd, I thought it funny yesterday when Pereiro was working his way back through the caravan and Phil referred to him as “previous TdF winner.” There should have been a rimshot after that comment.

Last I heard Phil thinks Landis is innocent.
I think he said it at the Tour of California.

follow-up to a post in the 1st thread, regarding astana not signing on
The Tour de France jury has summoned the Astana team after they arrived late for the pre-stage registration on Monday. UCI regulations state that a rider must register for a stage at least 20 minutes before the start or faces a fine of 100 Swiss Francs ($92). Tour de France competitions director Jean-Francois Pescheux called for tougher sanctions. “Today, and as usual, the Astana team arrived late at the pre-stage registration, in contempt of the crowd, who has once again not seen Lance Armstrong. They don’t care about the fine. We are going to ask the UCI to be tougher.”
apologies if this has been posted already. or if it is in the wrong post.

They will pull this back if they think LA is a GC threat
Other than that no real reason to pull this back. Since Contador is not there, the real GC contenders will not have to worry

Gotta save someone to go for a stage win and hold Cav’s wheel. Other than that, they want to work their asses off – this might be the best chance for a win (relative to every other team, they’re in awesome shape)
