what's next???

Yesterday, I was a bit more disappointed than a 47 year old mildly intelligent woman should have been when I heard that Vino and Astana had quit the Tour. When I read David Millar's press report that he broke down in tears, I shed a little tear myself. During the day as I thought about the whole thing, I felt little tears welling up again. We all knew that Vino's performances were beyond words. They were exciting feats, but they stood out too much. Why was I sad when he got kicked out? I guess because it seemed that he knowingly raised his arms and saluted the crowd as they cheered him on to victory. He stood on the podium and showed us how proud he was to win. I was sad because in a naive way, I trusted him as a winner. How stupid is that? I believed that all those silly riders signing that silly statement on doping was real, sort of. And finally and most importantly, all these guys really screwed up my tour de france game choices.
