Rasmussen the liar November 12, 2007

Well last week Michael Rasmussen confirmed the statement made by Italian Davide Cassani that he had reportedly saw him in Italy when Rasmussen said he was in Mexico to his Team. This was a major mistake it was during the same time as out of competition drug test. This all leaked out at the height of this years tour de France. Rasmussen was holding the yellow jersey at the time and was fired for his lie. Rabobank now complete supports the decision that was made by the team to release Rasmussen even though he was in the major contention to win the race. I’m glad to see this myself it just shows the steps to clean up cycling. Even though they don’t exactly know what Rasmussen was doing in Italy (it could be doping related) but the major fact is he reluctantly missed a drug test which only leads to suspicion.

Well without the Powerhouse team discovery representing American this year in the tour I will turn my attention to another team (otherthan my favorite CSC). So basicly with this seasons new aquisitions for team slipstream they might be able to win a spot in the TDF. They picked up some big names this year and I has given me some high hopes especially after what happened last year with the youngster Alberto winning it. So as of today I am gonna start a bandwagon to follow Team Slipstream into the Tour de France. Lets all jump aboard and root them on!!

Canyon Bikes? August 21, 2007

Once again I have found a all new bike producer. This time its a pro sponsor of a cat-1 team, Unibet.com. They produce 3 road bikes and a large assortment of mountain bikes. The mountain bikes are what really impressed me though. They are very similar geometry of treks and other such bikes. Not only was I impressed by these bikes but so were my coworkers. Within their product lines they offer many different options to choose from. The top of the line products have very impressive components to compare to the very impressive frame design. Go ahead and check out their product line at canyon.com Heres a photo of the top product of the Nerve ESX/ ES 8.0. The photo was provided by the company and I hope you like what you see.

T-Mobile Contract Extension and the New Tricross August 9, 2007
Posted by Shamous in 2008 specialized tricross expert, Carbon Fiber, cycling, fsa, rival, Specialized, Sram, T-Mobile, tricross.add a comment
T-Mobile has announced that it will remain the a part of the T-Mobile Cycling team. They will remain connected to the team till 2010. This is really all the news I have to tell you today. I do have a product review though. The all new 2008 Specialized Tricross Expert has been released. I have recently been able to ride this all new bike. It has a carbon fork and seat stays. The seat stays also come with the zertz insert to reduce the vibrations while riding. It also a FSA Sl-k MegaExo crank set. This bike also has mainly sram rival componentry to go with the FSA crankset. This bike rides very smooth and is very fast. Ill tell you what this bike will dominate any road bike on a dirt road. I give it a 8 out of 10 on my rating scale. The only flaws I would like to see changed is that specialized produce a full carbon tricross and also provide the bike with a better componentry line.

A loss in Cycling and The new Slipstream! August 2, 2007

Well today Barloworld’s rider Ryan Cox died from an apparent artery rupture. He just recently went under the knife for iliac artery problems. It was the same problem that Stuart O’Grady had in 2002. Well any ways Cox had successfully went through the surgery and was recovering. But due to financial needs he was forced to leave and return to South Africa, his native country. He had been help to afford the surgery by his close friend Robbie Hunter. But his funds ran dry and was force to leave. This Monday while in South Africa recovering he was rushed to the hospital and the doctors tryed to repair the artery. The doctors were unsuccessful and Ryan Cox died. He was only 28 years old. I do have some good news though. The all new U.S. based Slipstream team has now announced that David Millar, Christian Vande Velde, and David Zabriski will be joining the team in 2008 season.

You wouldn’t believe it Iban Mayo tested positive. This isn’t the first time. He has tested positive for testosterone before. He wasn’t alone this year in the tour. But I have already talked about the other riders early. As a result his team, Saunier Duvel, has suspended him and will terminate his contract if the B sample comes back positive as well. I will inform you on more information when it arises.
