1. Nissan 撤了Team RadioShack 的贊助

最近這隻車隊被壯爺案弄得火紅，也重挫了他們贊助商的形象

雖然日產跟車隊的贊助合同簽到2013，不過他們將依循Rabobank 的腳步與車隊切割



2. Alessandro Ballan 在BMC 冬訓營摔傷

下坡摔得重

摔斷腿，斷肋骨(插進肺部)，傷到脾(緊急切除)

這下他一月的賽事都得排開了，還不知道回不回得來呢...



3. Galimzyanov 坐兩年車監

被驗出EPO 陽性，他自己也承認

2012.4.13 開始算，2 年

Katusha...這支2012 賽季總排名第二的車隊 ，怎麼...



4. J-Rod 對Katusha 的現況生氣了

容我摘取一段J-Rod 的意見來曲解：We're not worried because Katusha is a good team and we all focused on having a great season (in 2013). But at the same we're all a bit lost because we don't know what's going to happen. We're all free (to change teams) until the CAS decides something. I hope things don’t get drawn out too long. I'm 33 years old and I want to ride the best races in the world. I hope that Katusha can guarantee me those races. I feel part of this team, it's my team too in lots of ways.

但其實...CAS 的判決都很慢...Q 半仙悲觀得認為Katusha 2013 囧定了

那一隊缺爬坡攻擊好手？ 把J-Rod 整個團隊挖去吧！



5. Panache 的定義｜inrng



Typically a rider with panache is said to be one who attacks, displaying courage and flair. But the surprise factor counts and a rider who wins too often can lose this label.

威鯨在Rouleur Magazine 這樣闡述：All this panache business – they can kiss my arse, these people. Who’s got panache? These people that go on stupid pointless attacks? I don’t like panache.

經過Q 半仙破英文理解後翻出來的中文：大膽的，華麗的，衝破十二層頂巔煎熬的，英雄式的攻擊

ㄜ...簡單一點就是：啊～嘶～～

以前這種搞法爽爽進終點的機會比較大，現在則多是囧囧被吞吃

Good old day 不再啊...讓我們再緬懷一下Merckx 爵爺1969 年環法Pau-Mourenx 站的風采...
