Quick Thoughts
Busy with Easter weekend and work piling up. I haven’t had any time to think about blogging. However, just to keep things moving here are my quick thoughts for the day.
Floyd’s final hearing before the CAS finished up this weekend but they have announced that they don’t expect to have a decision until June. It must be incredibly frustrating for Floyd to have to wait so long for the final word and the end of this chapter of his life. But better that they take their time and examine everything before making a decision rather than rushing. This is his last chance. This is not the time for rushing.
Astana is, once again, not invited to the ASO party. The Amaury Sports Organisation announced the teams that they’re inviting to the Spring Classics this year and, surprise, surprise, Astana was not on the list. Slipstream will be there though as will Team High Road (go George!).
Interesting interview with Matt White who used to ride for Discovery and is now a new rookie Director Sportif with the Slipstream team.
Love ‘em or hate ‘em. Rock Racing has been named the most popular pro team in an online survey conducted by Bicycling magazine. Get the full story over at US Cycling Report.
And I don’t think that I’m the only one doing a little happy dance inside over the fact that the UCI is suing Dick Pound for being an idiot - oops I mean for “continual injurious and biased comments” - same difference.

I think they are trying to keep as many Americans out of racing as they can. Even though Astana is not an American team they have Levi on it.

I can’t wait to see how team Astana handles the remainder of their season. Levi and Alberto seem to be taking turns whipping tthe rest of the field.
I hope they keep it ip and show the ASO just what a HUGE mistake they made.
