Be impressed as cyclist from Hackney tries to convince you to buy his Bottecchia bike for only £1500 (mudguards not included). As he will point out numerous times in the space of under 2 minutes, there are Dura Ace components. Wow! However, it does seem to be one of the mysterious Bottecchia USA models…
I’m keeping the mudguards
Kiss him goodbye
Stopped by French Police at the Start of Stage 12
As Cyclingnews.com is reporting, Riccardo Riccò is out of the Tour de France after new doping allegations.
A sad story for the rider, the entire professional category, and especially the cycling star system. I’m watching the stage on Italian tv at a bar in Cuneo right now and the commentators are shocked: “Whenever we begin to enjoy a rider…”
The only funny aspect is that, by leaving a big race like this, he has achieved his goal of following in the footsteps of Marco Pantani sooner than anyone thought.
The News section at Cicli Bottecchia’s official site says there is “no news”. Glad to see that nothing is happening in the world of cycling right now. So much for that Tour de France…
All quiet on the Bottecchia front
The news media is reporting this morning that Michael Bishop is on his way out of Toronto, leaving Kerry Joseph as the undisputed starter. Must have been some problems in the locker room. Looks like two quarterbacks are worse than one, eh? (At this point someone will point out – again – that Mike was once ahead of Tom Brady on the New England Patriots depth chart…).
Sure some people like The Polka Dot Door, Today’s Special, or Cucumber, all locally produced fare, but the greatest show in the early days of TVOntario featured the adventures of Jeremy, a peripatetic singing bear. Who cannot remember his enchanting song “I’m a bear called Jeremy, I can do most anything, I can dance and I can sing”? Well, today’s kids, that’s who!
I’m a bear called forgotten
