Canadian National TT champs - Tuft and Veilleux

men's elite and U23 Canadian TT champs for 2008, with Anne Samplonius (who missed out on the Olympic team) for the women. Tuft and Veilleux seem to still be on good form after their other recent victories (Beauce and Pennsylvania respectively).

Christian Meier interview

Christian Meier interview

a local media interview with the Canadian U23 champ (at least until the weekend) of Symmetrics ... he mentions what I'd heard elsewhere as a rumour: "He has attracted some interest from a first-tier pro-tour squad, Slipstream, and said if his Symmetrics team doesn't pick up the sponsorship they need, he might make a move."
(and interesting sub-header, "...just misses Canadian Olympic team selection", not sure he would have been that close, but I'm sure it helps for the local interest angle of the story).

Injured cyclist: 'Watch out for bears' : County News : Boulder Daily Camera

Angry motorists aren't enough - Now we have to watch out for Bear? I'm familiar with the road in question and can say - It's a good thing the rider wasn't injured even worse.

Lance makes the dick list

I know, I know. But I also know that at least 3 of you will laugh.

P.S. in a previous fanpost, someone used "tubesteak," thus pre-empting the more apropos use of it here. Thus, the "fanshot" in place of the "fanpost." No minimum word limit.

Michael Barry's Diary - A homecoming at the Dauphiné

More excellent writing from Barry - how 12 years ago he first came to Annemasse in France to ride and now the Dauphine was going there.
