As of right now, it’s Kelly 1 (the Vuelta) and Wiggo 0. It’s been written elsewhere but the sight of all these Sky boys up there around Wiggo while the other contenders are pretty much alone brings back bad memories of a certain Texan and his team – who now seem to have pretty much all admitted being doped. To me Wiggo seems robotic in his racing and training – not much excitement here….kind of like the boring run of wins by BigMig…”spank ‘em in the time trials and hold on in the mountains” is not very exciting, no matter who is doing it. BRAVI to Nibali and Evans for attacking and bringing some excitement to Le Beeg Shew, even if (so far) it’s yet to change the GC.

Days like stage 10 will erase 1,000 doping stories. Can’t beat Jensy and Voekler leading the action.

Khal – Thanks! I see it’s now 3 down 2 to go with USADA.

Thinking about the dumb-ass things we all say and wondering why we hold athletes to a higher standard. Besides, it beats the pablum from the Nuke LaLoosh School of Public Speaking graduates that we’re typically stuck with. “Gotta thank my teammates … gonna give 110% tomorrow … “

And just when I was thinking that road racing was getting cleaner. (Note: cleaner is relative to what it was, oh say, 4-5 years ago)

The only comeback I would offer in the Wiggins/Kelly spiff is: and how many three week races did Mr. Kelly win??

Goodness gracious when does CX season begin!?!?!?!

If you tire of bicycling stuff, go read Darren Sherkat’s screed on the U of VA over here: http://iranianredneck.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/administratively-adrift/

Wiggins has been foul-mouthed and foul-tempered for years. In the past he was a drunk dialer and drunk tweeter. Seems like he’s a dry drunk now.

Drug use in cycling? Time to break out the usual film clip.

I love Wiggo, only because he hates Tennis as much as I do ! Wiggins — eight days into the three-week race — also had a dig at tennis with millions more watching fellow Brit Andy Murray in the Wimbledon men’s final rather than the Tour.

He said: “Tennis is nothing. It only lasts 1½ hours.”

Yeah, that was quite the ‘roid raging from Wiggo the day before he and his 110 lb boyfriend spanked Fabian Cancellara in a dead flat time trial. You think maybe the gendarmes got the wrong hotel?
