I was pulling for Fedrigo. not just cause he's French and a nice chap, but
even more so because I don't care for Commesso. I've never been a fan of
Commesso's. He has on occasion run roughshod over other cyclists-
"In the final 500m I had good position until my favorite (not) Saeco rider
"Cokehead" Commesso started knocking guys all over the place, even causing
the collision that wiped out a Saturn rider's rear derailleur (at least he
didn't crash right in front of me). I had to go around the melee in the wind
on the right and make the best of it from there. 9th or so in the bunch
sprint. Argh."

"Meanwhile Saeco's Commesso was getting into a fight with our Dave McCook.
These two have no love lost as Commesso had intentionally crashed Dave last
year at Trenton, last lap. This year's incident began with Commesso chopping
Dave off of Doug's wheel. Dave chopped him back. Commesso landed a kidney
punch, and Dave retailated with a full waterbottle to the back of the neck.
Commesso's response was a poorly-aimed waterbottle at Dave's face, which
instead connected with another Euro guy (who then raised a big fuss). The
skirmish broke up. Hey, wasn't Commesso the guy who recently got busted for
cocaine? He should take his drugs and his "I'm a euro baddass" attitude back
over the pond to the land of lubed-to-the-gills riders (see Giro D'Italia
reports). By the way, it's too bad that the media have selected European
cycling as the sport to crucify, since every professional sport is riddled
with performance enhancing drugs."

Hmm, maybe it was Fedrigo who should have been worried about being
headbutted
