Fucking Worlds is gonna be awesome.
In 2003, Ullrich puts 1:36 into juan pelota in the TT while riding a Walser with a narrow BB. The explanation given is that Lance was dehydrated, but there was some concern that the Walser was simply a faster bike. Over the course of the following year, they assemble their sponsors into a team and develop a new TT bike and associated equipment in the wind tunnel. This new TT bike has a narrow BB like the Walser. Lance rides it a few times and it sucks because of his now famous Q-issues. They setup the old bike with the new position, skinsuit, helmet, etc and kill it in the TTs in the 2004 TdF. Eki gets the bike they developed, likes the narrow-Q and kills it in the olympics.
My shoe is off.
My foot is cold.
I have a bird I like to hold.
My hat is old.
My teeth are gold.
And now my story is all told.
No Renshaw? WTF.
Weird. God damn, they have a packed squad though.
I guess there is less space for a leadout man in a one-day race than a stage, but Renshaw is an awfully clever rider to leave off the squad.
Gotta wonder if there is some Goss/Renshaw beef. I bet both of their heads have grown a bit this year.
I guess Haussler is also riding for oz?
as pointed out on cyclingtipsblog.com it may be more of a renshaw/greenedge beef, which is fucked up

…to the surprise of nobody.
Is Devolder injured or something? Why would he not be selected for the team?[/quote]
Besides coming in 6th at Belgian Nation Road Race, what else did he do this season?
He’s Australian.

…and German and held German citizenship until recently.
regained aus citizenship so he could ride last year in geelong, which didn’t really work out so well for him

Oh no shit, i didn’t know that.
“Haussler”?
“heinrich”?
c’mon, the guy looks like he was handpicked straight out of the aryan brotherhood.
Based on the info on his wikipedia page, I’d say he’s more Australian than German. Both my names are German as hell, but that doesn’t mean I’m not an American. You follow?
adolf yeaux?

Yeaux sounds awfully French to me.
