Jim Ochowicz is still a corrupt loser

Wow...this looks like Jim O-****s (Jim Ochowicz) is trying to get that winning Tour de France team he never had because he's a ****ing corrupt loser. Memo to Jimmy: ASO isn't going to to invite your Pro conti team since 2 team slots are already going to French Pro Conti teams. If ASO accepts BMC, they would be forced to eliminate another Pro Tour team. I also find it amazing that Rihs and O-****s don't know that Cadel Evans will never win the Tour de France. Even if Evans did make it into the Tour, he wouldn't even get a top-10. The guy is so yesterday's news. He's not the guy you would want to build a GC team around. Magilla |

Magilla Dumbass, First off, I am in total agreement that Och is a corrupt loser. Its a shame you didn't get to experience his dad's management style as district rep back in the day. Then you could rant in an intergenerational style. More than once he held up a race at Superweek to force some Cat 4 to put on a pair of socks. He was a real sweetheart, and he has passed on the sweetheart gene. Just ask Gerard Bisceglia. But Evans' value has more to do with the special jersey than as a potential grand tour winner. But you are also correct that the special jersey won't get them into the Tour any more than it did Cipo when he had it. Bob Schwartz |

I don't know yet what to think of BMC's chances of getting in. However, the situation is rather more complicated than: all ProTour teams + some French ProContis. For one, and for what it's worth, there was a deal struck between UCI and GT organisers in 2008 to grant all then-ProTour teams guaranteed entry for 2009 and 2010. That includes now-ProConti Bbox and Cofidis, while Credit Agricole and Gerolsteiner no longer exist, which leaves 16 teams. New ProTour teams from after the deal: Garmin, Katyusha, Shack, Sky. Cervelo is a ProConti team that seems sure of an invite. The Tour starts in Holland so there is bound to be at least one Dutch ProConti team from Vacansoleil and Skil-Shimano. Vacansoleil all but secured an invite by signing the French Feillu brothers, and they have Hoogerland who showed himself in the Vuelta, Worlds & Lombardia and announced his intent to focus on the Ardennes (ie. ASO) classics. Skil only have Kenny, so, probably not. That leaves one French ProConti squad Saur-Sojasun with Casper, Coppel and Hivert. All in all, 25 teams. Maybe, probably?, 22 teams to start the Tour in 2010 so 3 to leave out. If they honour the 2008 deal, which do you pick? I think BMC trumps Skil and Saur-Sojasun at least and possibly Sky and Katyusha. If they chose to forget about 2008, BMC should be able to get an invite before no-hopers Lampre and Milram. |

Nobody gives a **** if the world champion races your event or not, especially considering most rainbow jersey winners phone in their results unless it's a major race, in which the rainbow jersey is irrelevant since Cadel Evans has no chance of winning any single day race in cycling. His win at worlds was a fluke due to a very diluted field where at least 50% of the top cyclists simply didn't show up combined with Vuelta fitness. Cadel Evans won nothing when he won worlds...he beat nobody. He's a ****ing Outback Aussie has-been. And he won't crack the top-10 in next year's Tour. Magilla |

This is a nice analysis. I'm going to use it to other people and claim it as my own. Thanks, Magilla |

Cracks me up to read that, as it used to be a common occurence, even back in the ABL days before the USCF. Socks had to be white, too. When I was a kid, we used to think it was cool to race with no socks, they would pull us for that, too. Brad Anders |
