DUH!

http://www.velonews.com/race/int/articles/13954.0.html

Does this really surprise anyone? Bad move Levi, bad move. I mean who would pick a team that has been tarnished by doping scandals and is run by a director who's achieved so much that he's in a position to accept such a challenge. If it fails, no biggie, I've won the TdF 7 times.

It's like going to work for a company to sell a product that has been recalled. And that's their only product. Duh!

Guess who's back?...

The PALMS!

Not sure on the details or even where the race was, but Shawn Palmer just won his first major boardercross title in over 9 years! I was just able to catch the bottom half of the race, NICE!

This may not be a big deal to any of you but it's nice to see this old dog come back and spank the young pups. I had a chance to hang out with him when he was in town to promote a boardercross that Erik's put on several years ago. Before that he was kinda someone I looked up to when I though I was going to be a big downhiller during my mountain bike days. He's had a few rough years and been down on his luck. I hope this will be a major turning point for him, Again.

Anyway, Nice job!

Time to breakout the gold suit again...

Side note:
I was able to score Hoigaard's it's first win of 2008.

That's right. I was able to take the line in a sprint. They just couldn't hold my wheel...

...OK. It was a race simulation on my trainer, but a wins a win right?

Looky there

That sure is a nice jersey right behind me in the picture at the top of my blog. I think that's Ben. He's my new teammate. That's right it's transfer time folks, an I've joined up with Lalla and the rest of the Hoigaard's squad for '08.

Many thanks to everyone at Silver Cycling/Hollywood Cycles. It was great racing with you guys and gals you know who you are, good times!

Happy New Year to all, see you on the road!
