No way it's even close to over, seems like there could be more chaos and Spanish goodness if you get teams collaborating.

In the reference to big teams I agree, but I'm more worried about state sponsored teams in the future. What will become of the JV power group once Jumbo leaves the sponsorship? I know there's something nagging at all of us, if you have that much cash surely you can fund the most legal ways of advanced nutrition and health. I've seen people start negatively mentioning barometric sleeping chambers, is that really frowned upon?

Cycling is such an expensive sport and hobby. I'd love to see more cycling in my area, gravel is where it's at. There seems to be a wonderful grassroots scene taking shape here but geeze. You're talking about at least a $1500 investment for a bike, then another $500 for clothes and gear. Ugh contrast this with - what? $120 for a modest pair of running shoes, or $30 for a pigskin/basketball/fütbol/etc.? Plus the maintenance! Ugh!!
