What a Clown

2008-03-18T23:06:00.000-04:00

March 17/08 4:15 pm EDT - Cipollini Retires ... Again: "Michael Ball - 'From a business perspective and from an overall team standpoint, the relationship between Mario Cipollini and Rock Racing was not advantageous, and would not work long-term. We have terminated his contract and wish him luck in future endeavors.'" Yeah right, you F*&king clown... why don't you go back to that club in LA, and sniff some more blow.

Ha ha ha ha... This is hilarious "The ASO can choose whoever they damn well like to ride their race, and even decide not to invite Americans who've got heads shaped like the back side of a spoon who're only popular because they look a bit like Lance. Nobody has an inherent right to ride the Tour de France. If they did, we'd have already started the website GoOnLetUsRidePleaseGoOn.com" .

Ugly Kit

2008-02-02T16:06:00.000-05:00

This just may be the ugliest team kit in the history of pro cycling. » Team High Road's 2008 kit . In the late 90's TVM had some pretty ugly kit. And Chazal-MBK, le Groupement had ugly kit. But this has got to top all those. What were they thinking? They look like a black hole in the bunch.

This kit, on the other hand, is simple yet elegant and a good execution of the 'less is more' idea in kit design.

Idiot

2007-12-13T14:02:00.000-05:00

Rock Racing team owner Michael Ball is a passionate and polarizing idiot of epic proportions. The jackass, CEO and head designer of the premium denim fashion line Rock & Republic rubs elbows with supermodels and rock stars, has made headlines for his moronic public statements...

He carpet-bombs conversations with the F-word, embraced heavily tattooed riders Kayle Leogrande and David Clinger, and has told his riders, "You either win or you're fired."

Ball has made clear his intentions of building his domestic squad into a Tour de France-caliber team, telling VeloNews earlier this year, "I want a yellow jersey on my wall." And though he failed to sign Chris Horner and unsuccessfully tried to bring Mario Cipollini out of retirement for 2008, Ball did sign three-time U.S. national champ Freddie Rodriguez; Michael Creed, Doug Ollerenshaw and Cesar Grajales; and a pair of Colombian veterans, Victor Hugo Peña and 2002 world time trial champion Santiago Botero. Phonak benched Botero in 2006 amid allegations that he was involved in the Operación Puerto doping scandal, but he was later cleared by the Colombian federation and spent 2007 with the Colombian team UNE Orbitel.

Laguardia airport

2007-10-15T13:37:00.000-04:00

Why are there no clocks on the wall? Why do hardly any of the departure information screens work and why are there so few of them? And when you do find one, why is the gate listed on the screen a number while all the GATE signs in the terminal are letters? I hate this airport.

Numero Uno

2007-10-01T12:01:00.000-04:00

Symmetric's Svein Tuft has done it. He has won the overall season long UCI Americas Tour. On top of that the S-Team won the team classification. This is all pretty huge... No Canadian team has ever achieved this level of success in an international season long competition. Symmetrics is a team that is 100% Canadian, and 100% moving in the right direction.
