  1. From cyclingnews:
    Vandenbroucke not ready to give up

    Frank Vandenbroucke may be down, but he is certainly not out. "I want to
    be a racer again, I am not yet ready to stop," he said in an interview
    on the Belgian TV show, De Zevende Dag.

    The Belgian was released by Team Mitsubishi-Jartazi last week. He has
    ridden very little this season, and most recently had been named as a
    customer of gang drug dealers.
    ------------------------------------------------
    Can anyone come up with a count of how many teams he's been on?
    Terrible waste of talent.

    I'd like to see LANCE make a come back too, although he never had a
    drug problem.

    Opening with the queens gambit is gay.

    It was a Sicilian defense to a queenie open.

    Let's put it this way - when Ken Papai was accepting and posting the
    pictures of everyone that was on rec.bicycles.racing, Munro didn't submit
    his picture. Note that he is telling us all that others are mere a program
    and not an individual. Perhaps "queenie" isn't far from wrong.

    Should I log a bug report on the grammar module, or has someone done
    that already?

    never mind ... I know the answer: it's a feature.

    Are we counting assumed names?

    You mean the counting is a terrible waste?

    It seems as if F VDB has been in trouble for much longer than most
    riders' careers last. When did he start his "professional wasting career"?

    Be nice to someday add Team Rock Racing to Frankie's list.

    I agree, but he won't even last as long as Cipo.

    Right after his annus mirabilis 1999.

    Ah, so LANCE had mafia connections in addition to his blue cooler alien
    connection. The conspiracy thickens.

    Anyway it seems to have been the Sicilian defence declined.
