Tour of Battenkill

"Team OUCH’s Floyd Landis, expected to take the start Sunday, did not make the trip to Cambridge, after suffering a laceration on his shin Wednesday. In a statement posted on the team’s Web site, team medical staff felt it would be better for Landis to stay in California to recover."

That better be one hell of a laceration or maybe he is coming down with Tyler's "Bronchitis".

In happier news, Tim Johnson gave em hell for a while at Battenkill. Nothing like sending the cross racer to the front to crack the whip on those pure roadies.

Hamilton Retires





It looks like Tyler has finally thrown the towel in on his racing career. Having been a fan of both Marco Pantani and Tyler Hamilton, I would hope that Tyler gets the help he needs before somebody finds him dead on a hotel room floor too.

Finishing 2nd at the Giro with a broken shoulder was pretty incredible. Then to top it off, the next year he ground down his teeth at the Tour because he had a broken collarbone from stage 1. I guess we will never know if he did it on his own or had a little help from the juice. I always hoped he did it on his own power.
