How cool is Zabel in it too, btw? What an officer and a gentleman.
Still, they're all a bunch of psychos.

I really ticked off that he's not racing the tour this year (ie ever again). I think he was primed for another great effort but "there was no room for him on the team". What a load of <insert your own expletive>. Demigod one day, dogfood the next. Ain't cycling grand?

That's racing for ya. Zabel's probably too humble and loyal to tell T-Mobile to F off, too.
Anyhoo, hometime for this puppy. For fun, here's a sneek-peek at the latest Thylacine to come out of the den - S&S coupled Tephra, set up for light touring. No, that's not my linen, photo courtesy of happy customer.

this weekend will be packed with painting the deck, chopping wood and looking after Kiri. Probably no riding, if anything a short road ride early if it doesn't pour rain.

We also beat the Poms finally.... they were 3 for 6 at one stage. Gough top scored for them with a last wicket stand of 50 or so.
And with "bad boy" Symonds ripping in to them to get man of the match.

I knew the summer of success had to end eventually - we finally lose to the aussies and Tim Henman exits early from Wimbledon. Oh the humanity
