He has an exclamation point, meaning it's something good. I doubt he would put "shock the cycling world!" using an "!" if it was bad.

But I won't speculate beyond that.

Ok,ok. Brad Wiggins is'nt going to Sky. It's official
gsteinb
07-09-09, 02:53 PM
I'm sure it's some sponsorship thing probably having to do with Armstrong or Astana and few will really care about it.

I'm not even sure what that means, but probably not.

Andy Kaufman = comedian.

They used to have a very public feud that turned out to be a put on.

Sorry, didn't mean anything other than a guess at something shocking.

We're not speculating, we're guessing. OK, something shocking in a good way (to Wiggo)...

Boonen will be Farrar's leadout man on Garmin next year (after Tootin Tom goes through rehab and signs the pledge)

You were guessing that a fellow pro cyclist would be so flippant about another rider's cancer remission?

That's no shock. I'd have guessed grass shears.

it was sort of a rhetorical 'I don't know what that even means.' I'm comfortable in my lack of knowledge of pop culture.

Wiggo and DZ were sitting around smoking...no, no...serious race going on...eating brownies and decided to f with the entire cycling universe. true story.

The specialized s-works sl2 uses cocaine in its resin. Boonen was trying to suck it out of his frame when he crashed today.

So why do we care that Botto knows all about pop tarts?
