Marty,
2 things: First how did you make that icon? That's classic. If you want to keep it secret PM me, I pledge my recently acquired Motobecane that I'll keep silent.
Second, how far do you think this court case against LA will go? I don't think very. I've heard LA is friends with one of the Giro organizers. LA has indicated a willingness to ride the Giro and the Giro desperately wants the man who has owned the TdF so I'm thinking pressure on prosecutor to shut up as LA won't come if he feels slighted or that he's going to get subpoenaed.
Rereading this it does all sound more than a bit soap-operaish doesn't it?
