And you are totally right that people in this country are willing to over look doping in 'our' sports but will bad-mouth cycling and track and field becuase of the same thing. I on the other hand get angry with all the cheaters but I'll still follow the Tour because it's cool...i'm so eaisly bought off<BR/><BR/>Possible winners:<BR/><BR/>Cadel Evans (2nd last year)<BR/>Alejandro Valverde<BR/>Kloeden<BR/>Menchov<BR/>Others include a Schleck, Cunego, Sastre, Karpets.<BR/><BR/>Alberto Contador (last year’s winner) team (Astana) was not given a place in the race this year. Some members have had drug problems in the past so the Tour didn’t invite them. Contador wasn’t one to test positive. He should have switched teams earlier this year.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775537038859720959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736912982726404421.post-71793676844816720042008-06-25T13:53:00.000-04:002008-06-25T13:53:00.000-04:00We too collect bikes from, EVERYWHERE!

NEVER money, which I could use more than another four bikes. <BR/><BR/>Your lawn looks well-used, maybe having the kids mow while playing soccer could be a fun new sport. <BR/><BR/>Who is the early favorite for the Tour this year anyway. It seem sto have lost it's flourish since Lance retired and then the whole thing with Landis (is that right?) didn't help matters. You can cheat in baseball and football, but if you do it in bicycling the American public shall shun you. Interesting commentary on us, isn't it?Roger Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831602215904873587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736912982726404421.post-38983148359690992752008-06-25T12:44:00.000-04:002008-06-25T12:44:00.000-04:00KLJ - you are right.
