Belgian coach Carlo Bomans brought a great injustice upon the cycling world today. The insane, and obviously drunken, Bomans made the catastrophic blunder of not naming "enfant terrible" Franck Vandenbroucke to the Belgian national team. Vandenbroucke is riding a wave of fitness and beating up on amateurs in Italy. If he managed to show up at the start line without a mysterious ailment, he would greatly animate the race... until he pulled out after 45km.
I am still holding out hope that Franco Ballerini will name Vandenbroucke's alter ego, Franceso Del Ponte (see photo), to the Italian national team when it is announced Friday.
In a related note, the US is once again sending a sub-par group of representatives to the World Championships in Salzburg. Look at this powerhouse lineup.
Chris Horner (Davitamon-Lotto) Fred Rodriguez (Davitamon-Lotto), Christian VandeVelde (CSC), Tyler Farrar (Cofidis), Patrick McCarty (Phonak), and Guido Trenti (Quickstep-Innergetic) join U.S.-based riders Jackson Stewart (Calif), Danny Pate (TIAA-CREF) and Chris Baldwin (Toyota-United).
SNOOZE!!!!
