David Garcia Da Pena down for EPO
How’s the Xacobeo vibe? With Masquerez and Garcia now bust, it seems a little strange doesn’t it? Basicall screaming “Gerolsteiner” off the roof tops! What’s really funny is that not only was Davebro caught for EPO, he is also going down for the masking agent HES (Hydroxyethyl Starch) . Not. Fishy. At. All. That’s just begging for a 2 year sabbatical. ...

What the Hell is Clenbuterol?
From VeloNews.com Clenbuterol was, indeed, developed as an asthma treatment. The drug is similar to salbutamol, the asthma drug whose overuse resulted in the one-year suspension of Alessandro Petacchi. Like salbutamol, clenbuterol is a Beta2 adrenergic agonist, which relaxes those smooth muscle groups over which you exercise no direct conscious control. Salbutamol, for example, was often...

Alberto Conta-doh!
…that didn’t go as planned hey bud? Bleak for you, now you gotta sit out a year while your reputation is tarnished and people kinda forget that you are the only man who knows how to win a Grand Tour these days while someone gets your hard earned Yellow Jersey on technicality somewhere far away from the Champs Elysee. This just bleaks me out, now it’s down to Basso to put up a...

Tood-a-loo Lance, Thanks for the Good Times
Tood-aloo Lancebro. Was cool while you were here. You gave us some great memories. Remember when Pantani attacked you on the Ventoux, then you gave him the stage and called him an elephant? Remember when you pretended to bonk, and all your friends thought you were feeling horrible? Then you caught up, looked them in their eyes and blasted off to win the stage? Remeber Ivan Basso? He...

Kalmthout 2010 - 4ème manche de CDM Cyclo cross Such a cool cyclocross vid I found on my paper.li feed, seems like it’s a Word Cup round. Catches the atmosphere really well and I love the opening track. SA viewers remember to turn HD off unless you’re running uncapped.

2011 Team Kits - Lampre-ISD
Lampre have never had a cool kit in my opinion. Okay, they stand out, but their design leaves a lot to be desired. This year they’ve teamed up with ISD who had an awesome kit in 2010, but unfortunately, none of that has carried through. Shocking …ouch my eyes!

2011 Team Kits - Cofidis
Cofidis have really taken out all the stops for their 2011 styles, looking… oh wait, no they haven’t. I think I see what they’re going for (retro vibes) but I don’t think it’s being pulled off all that well. “So guys what’s it like in your new kit?” They are saved though, with their bike, which is a LOOK which immediately brings the team up...
