I don't understand what's going on. There must be more than meets the eye, don't you think?

Why was Astana really kicked out of the TdF? Who engineered that? ASO?

I think it was aso that did that. ASO does run the TdF. No one has said this directly, but I think ASO was still pissed about LA and so kicked out Astana becasue Bruynheel was the new DS there and they suspect that he was involved in the cheating but they just can't prove it. SO, being French, they kicked them out preemptively. As Bluegoose said in an earlier thread, they are probabyl going to keep kicking teams out until a Frenchman can finally win the race again.

We are a unified tribe on all matters affecting cycling.

Cyclists being dicks. What a shock.

No you're not. No one said anything of the sort about you or your opinion. After calling me childish, psychotic, crazy and demented, you then obliquely attack me as a dick. Very impressive and mature.
