Nothing To See Here, Move Along
Man In Black
This from Tom Boonen made me laugh…
Boonen further claimed that Vinokourov was indeed one of the so-called ‘Men in Black’ - a term used to describe professional riders training in plain colours to avoid detection. “I saw him myself, wearing black,” said Boonen.

“Ukrainian Serhiy Honchar has been sacked by his T-Mobile team for violating their code of conduct.
…
Honchar, 36, was suspended on 11 May following abnormal blood test results…”
Ooh, ooh, what for? The tensions killing me - what could he have done?…

in no particular order...
For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.

Don’t let The Man stop you shooting.
If anyone has a full set of NEMBA results (that‚s North of England for you colonial types) then please forward them.
