rock racing drama

Quoted message said:

dumbasses,

this pre-cali rock racing drama is making me giddy.

super dumbass,

It's really pretty simple. Rock Racing isn't about silly bicycle
racing, it's about getting face for M. Ball. There is no such thing as
bad publicity, so why bother listening to anyone's rules when just
barging in and making noise generates more press.

Are you referring to the Mario Cipollini sightings or Mike
Ball threating to withdraw the team from the race.

There is no difference between the two.

I'm really [censored] that I didn't go on the Stanford University
Cycling Team's
ride today, because I see on cyclingnews.com that they meet Super
Mario.

This is so wacked out.

I don't watch "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" but assume it's kinda
like this.

That paint job on the bus and Mike's jersey are way too BMXie.

That [censored] would never wash over on the Continent.

I hope he turns it all upside down, and builds a riders' union too.
Seems that the re-opened Puerto investigation is confined to the docs,
therefore none of the riders ARE under investigation. They should be
able to ride, but the promoter has the right to keep them out too.
Time for pro-sports to come to pro-cycling. Where's cycling's Marvin
Miller?

I'm really shocked that in the 21st Century that the athletes essentially
have no rights whatsoever. It's even more shocking that it appears that the
majority of posters here agree with that!

dumbass,

ball doesn't even recognize the conventions of the sport - he signs
riders to non-guaranteed contracts, i.e. "i can fire you whenever i
want for whatever reason".

Tom, I thought we were talking about the terrible
green graphics all over the side of the team bus.

The riders have the right to not be seen in stylistically challenged
apparel or vehicles.

No biggie. You couldn't go on a ride on the mid-peninsula today without
running into the likes of Mario, Boonen, Levi, Bettini... the teams were
everywhere. My son went on a ride up Old LaHonda this afternoon and came
across the Astana team heading *down* (Old LaHonda generally isn't a good
choice for going down, but an exceptional road for going up).

Dumbass -

Why should they have any rights? They're getting paid. Once they get
rights, then it gives rise to unions, socialism and eventually
communism.

And worst of all, liberals with their plots and media.

Imagine riding on the same road that Bettini has used.
