  1. Due to Robbie McEwen's disqualifying 'performance' in the stage 3 sprint -
    the team mechanic has prepared him a new bike... http://tinyurl.com/a8t8l

    Fair enough he had to respond to the O'Grady elbowing, but I think it was a
    little over the top... I guess we will be watching it again tonight about 50
    times on SBS..

  3. Is there a good Shimano groupset that would go with that configuration?

    Fully agree, I struggle to see the joke although I know the intention is a joke.

    arh geez... how politically correct do we need to be these days?.. This
    little boy is probably as happy as ever to have his picture taken with his
    new play toy.. yet we impose our ideals of him actually having wheels to
    ride it!? No doubt some volunteer will fix his steed, he will fall off,
    then sue the volunteer for negligence..

    I'm sure all these rock stars who have given up their 'precious time' in the
    last week or so for that televised cause will have a significant impact on
    poverty in the third world.. or maybe to help line the pockets of corrupt
    governments..

    :ok, who took my happy pills away?:

    I think you get it slightly wrong, do not really care about PC, just that the pic on its own makes me sad, and therefore I do not laugh. See what I mean? that is all.

    Claes, sorry dude.. all good.. I did misinterpret your reply.... I'll get
    off my high horse and think before I assume/speak 🙂

    It is a real bugger that McEwen is out of the points though 🙁(((

    out of.
