Interview Link du Jour: Rahsaan Bahati of Rock Racing.

Picture Link du Jour: Die Gebrüder Schleck und Kim Kirchen.

Lancegate: The Gang of Two - Der Kaiser's in support of Contadorus Rex commanding Astana at le Tour rather than Sir Lancelot who claims he is no longer "interested" in racing that Grand Tour when the Italians shall surely great him with the enthusiasm they bestow on Il Grillo; well, whatever is going on, which may be intimidation by the German Media who threaten to boycott le Tour, Jan Ullrich and Greg Lemond ought to be engaged as special commentators on whatever crusade their mutual nemesis is pursuing because they possess the insightful expertise to make the sport more dramatic than Sir Phil could fathom.

Bettini by Bettini: Er, Roberto's been snapping shots of Paolo and His Aero.

Kohl on the Coals: I don't need to regurgitate the latest on Bernie and Schummie being sued by that Gerolsteiner guy who feels jilted because you know that unless you're living under some rock because you're scared of Rock Racing. Well, you better watch out because Bernie and Schummie could get calls from Michael Ball; but I see the Cobra being more his type based on his tantrums at the Giro because those other two just don't have the sex appeal.

Rogge Says Yes! - So the Olympics Guy says cyclings ging nowhere even if some other executive dude went all reactionary batshit about it because there be dopers out there. Well, guess what: they're dopers everywhere! Just because some teenagers go to school doped does not mean it's time to close schools; it just means spending lots of taxpayer money discussing the matter before some high tower committee comes up with some New Age-y way to intervene that wastes more money. Frak, my mind's getting policized again but at least some people at UCI aren't batshit nuts.

Kyllingen! Beware the Emaciated Chickenman (Danish) who has decided to whine about his suspension in the style of Earboy Landis.

12 Danskere: Hmm, methinks that Uncle Bjarne dreams to become coach-mentor-engineer of the National Danish Team since he has Twelve Danes on Sexy Bank for 2009 (Danish); in the event that this scheme of his backfires has one potential back-up plas: coach the Luxembourg squad since he has three of those in his employ who pedal at the professional level.

2008 Nationale Sluitingprijs: Er, I do not like the looks of that second word in the race name, that race in which Tommeke missed First by that much like Maxwell Smart.

2008 Jayco Herald Sun Tour: Stuey, Stuey, Stuey! Oh yeah, Mr Freckles won the stage today and catapulted from Sixth to First in the GC. Awesome, eh? Er, forgive my Canada "eh-ness;" I live like three hundred miles from the Canadian border and to most Americans that is living close to the border of another land. Anyway, the Sexy Bank is rocking the peloton with Stuey, Lars, Matt, and Brad; and so too are The Japanese who probably have some cycling manga I have totally not discovered yet but there must be since I can rattle off the title of baseball, basketball, hockey, tennis, and some other weirdness too.
