Saturday Wheelings and Dealings

Here's a fun piece from the Cycling News with comments on the 2007 Tour de France.
Here's just one comment:
Eddy Merckx: "This will be a special year for the Tour. The course is well designed, balanced and tough. One thing sticks in my mind is what Christian Prudhomme said; 'I hope there will be a winner in Paris'. That is necessary and that’s what everyone wants to see."
Bad Boy Floyd Landis should have been in Paris for the Tour announcement Thursday, but he is persona non grata now. Our Boy Lance, too. Way to treat American cyclists, Frenchy.
Floyd was at a cycling safety awareness event last weekend in Madison, Wisconsin, and had this to say about his case and the UCI:
"I'm going to do everything I can to bring the down the UCI."
Way to make friends and influence enemies.
Landis, by the way, has started to ride outdoors on a bike following his hip surgery earlier this month.
