Notice they didn't correct Eadies time (he had the better conditions) vs Kerstens time before the Athens games. :rolleyes:

531Aussie 02-20-06 08:54 PM

Could he have road career if he trimmed down a bit, or is he just too big?

531Aussie 02-20-06 08:55 PM

like Beasley keeps saying: it's a farkin 'Australian' team, not a farkin AIS team

It's been increased to about 10.6s (I can't remember exactly) so they can exclude him from the team if they want, even though he rode faster than Kisten and the other dude

where'd you hear about this? sounds like crapola to me.

It was on CN....soemthing about the "atmospherics" or crap like that. Basically, Barras wants to be able to leave him out.

Not sure who'd want to share a room with him at a major champs.

It was on TV. Martin Barras was waffling on.

A sub 10.5 is a sub 10.5. There is nothing about 'the average rectal humidity on the day and sticking my carkeys in the cracks of the track' in the selection policy.

As opposed to his AIS days when "everybody" seemed to be shaaring his room! :D ;)

Man, I'm glad my roadies in the shop at the minute (still). Some blokes from work go out every lunch for a time trial out to Georges Plains and back (my favourite run). I was supposed to be going out with them this week but my bike was in the shop. Anwyay yesterday, the fellas were having a sprint into town. One of the fellas was comign around the other and somehow hit foot came uncliped on the downstroke, dug into the ground and he went down. They made it back to work at which point he collapsed. I didn't see him but they rekon if he was a car there wouldn't be a panel left untouched. Then today one of the other guys who go out at lunch did exactly the same thing! These dudes aren't noobs like me either. They've been riding and racing for years. It's like the bermuda triangle out there at the minute. I don't think I'll be game to go out on my roadie when I get it back. Don;t they say these thigns run in threes? :eek:

heard it on the SEN radio cycling/triathlon show, "First Off The Bike", on Sundee night.

Apparently the track was rated 'fast' coz it was 29 degrees and low humidity

531Aussie 02-20-06 11:40 PM

Enough useless crap, Back to cycling.

Went ot Tuesday night racing at heffron park, there were about 3 British riders in national colours racing and a few team officials watching. They were all riding matching red TREKS. They looked the part.

one assumes the same vein in the bicep/forearm where Lance put all his Amgen product thu. Big vein, can take the needle well.
