I am stoked to watch the Tour Down Under (TDU) starting this weekend. I am a little bummed that Versus coverage is SO LIMITED and will only be in 30 min segments, the best I can tell. Going to have to watch online, I am guessing! I hope this year will not be riddled with dopers trying to beat the system. The sport needs to move on and get past all that mess and have good clean racers that adhere to ALL the rules. I know, some of you out there still think they all dope. I, for one, know there are clean racers out there and I truly believe there are great teams doing their best to curb the dopers also by running clean programs. Word has it that the TDU racers could possibly be tested three times a day! Twice, by the powers that be and once by their team. They will have to do a lot of testing on a lot of the racers to catch up with Mr Armstrong. I think he is on testing #13 since he announced his come back. I guarantee no other racer has had that many out of competition test run on them in a 3-4 month period.....EVER!
Excitement will be the word for me for this upcoming pro bike race season. Is it the Lance factor? Maybe, but I was excited last year also for any American racer and of course Thor, the big Norwegian sprinter, to have a good year.
It will be a fun season to watch!
