    Not sure, but Rod F suffered badly from altitude sickness today and backed it off, maybe Grabo had the same thing. :dunno

    what is wrong?
    since days the news (WA radio) are full of Lance Armstrong, he was cheating, he is a yank, why does he get so much attention?
    I don't wanna hear all that sh..

    Why does the success the Aussies have in the Dakar not get valued?
    96fm is/was a Safari sponsor, but I didn't here any report the whole time the rally was running, not even the start or finish.

    is it the media deciding what I have to listen to?
    or are out there so many who wanna hear the news they broadcast.
    is rally sport only for a small elite?

    I was quietly wondering how Grabbo came to be classified as a rookie ...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

    You should be getting good fuel economy out of those HRC packing cartons for most of the move Troy,

    The last bit could be a problem :eek1

    Dont agree at all. He maintained the lie until the the truth was so evident that he had no choice. He lived the lie now he will have to live with it. Think of the other cyclists who are clean and will never get another shot at the TDF or other pro tours due to the sponsorship $$$ being withdrawn. Balls my ass. He and other cheats fuck it for everyone
