If it's true that Robbie offered money to European riders to chase down Matt White's solo effort at the TDU this year, I support the hissy fit. If it's true. Robbie had had wins already at the Tour and anyone who begrudges a domestique like Whitey getting out for a win when he can (particularly at home) doesn't deserve those same domestiques and others riding for them later. Again, if it's true. I'm an O'Grady fan, though. |

Again, if it's true. I'm an O'Grady fan, though. I heard this wasnt true and McEwen actually said when White had tol him he was going to attack at the finish "Im not going to chase you (in Whites own words). Besides as unAustralian and poor as it is, tha sort of thing goes on all the time in the pro peloton. Doesnt make i acceptable but just saying.... I dunno the details of the O´Grady McEwen thing. Obviously runs dee though and apparently has been going on for years. Guess there will be no coverage then -- oely |

At times, yeh - he certainly seemed so a few years ago, then got very successful and more sure of himself. His media persona got a lot better as he won more in Europe. He kind of went back to the way he was during the tour when Boonen won a lot at the start. I think he finds it easier to be magnanimous when he's winning, like a lot of us (not that we all win green jerseys and such, but when thigs are going well, I mean). |

I think that had a lot to do with getting shafted by the French and Stuart O'Grady's appalling riding in a certain stage. Anyway sprinters are supposed to be prima donnas aren't they? (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) Cheers BrettM |
