I'm assuming they have saved money by hiring the local guy that does the school shots of the local kiddies. You know okay evrybody smile, cross your arms etc etc. This is a bit late.

I wouldn't normally be frightened by a bunch of skinny guys in lycra but you stick an ill-fitting goon-suit on top of them and they'd actually be quite intimidating. Especially in the classic short, stocky one and tall, thin one combination... Oh yeah, and BLACK SHORTS!

I just got back from work and it is completely obvious: Astana are giving themselves hugs because the major tours (except the Vuelta and TOC) have snubbed them: where's the love? Gotta make it for themselves, folks. Remember, hugs are supposed to be therapy..... You all have it coompletely wrong.

A few years ago someone sent me a thing called "why bicycle shorts are black" that had a picture of an entire team on the podium in sweaty red shorts, and you could see EVERYTHING!
