RCS gives Astana the cold shoulder

[TM]

I wonder what could make the two biggest races of the year want to exclude
these guys? It must be because they are the innocent victims of two
nationalistic, bureaucratic power struggles.

I got into this sport because it is the perfect combination of obsessing
over and buying things for myself. I never expected to become political!

Or another American invasion of a defenseless Arabian Nation.

maybe more suprising is the exclusion of Aqua & Sapone from all RCS
events...

I'm trying very hard to work up a tear for poor, defenseless Saddam.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Should I have started by sobbing over the
mistreated, victimized Taliban first?
