It starts on Saturday and should be very exciting. Last year’s winner Danilo Di Luca will be on a smaller team this year instead of Liquigas. After the fiasco of his investigation with the Italian Olympic Committee, he was dropped for fear of being found guilty. But another Italian favorite Alessandro Petacchi was found guilty of abusing an asthma medicine and will be suspended for a year. But other favorites for this race are:

Alberto Contador (he will be in top shape since he will not be participating in this year’s Tour de France)

Gilberto Simoni, 2x winner (01, 03)

Riccardo Ricco (Simoni’s former teammate)

It will be exciting especially as when it kicks off on Saturday, with a team time trial and hopefully Team Slipstream-Chipotle-H30 will win it!

Rides me and my friends do at the last Saturday of every month.

So pitchfork got a hold of a GG ALLIN documentary and its really awesome.  Its also not safe for work.

So it breaks my heart to say this but, Akon is a fraud. His car theft ring: FALSE. Time behind bars: FALSE. The guy lied to our faces and created a persona that has an unbelievable story to it.

Akon has only been convicted of one felony, for gun possession in New Jersey. He plead guilty and got 3 years probation.

Another arrest in 1998 in Atlanta, has been capitalized by Akon and became the big lie that was his “car theft ring” In reality, Akon was arrested for possession of a single stolen BMW and held in jail for a couple months before the charges were dropped

Totally ruled. Glad I stayed until the 9th inning. Walk off home run and a couple homers made it well worth it. Plus the added benefits of friends being there making it awesome. My voice is also almost toast as well.
