Some tidbits about cycling from around the internets, now that the season is over and we can concentrate on healing our wounds:
- The UCI is considering creating a “biological passport” for professional cyclists, which would include blood and urine samples from every rider in the professional peloton.
- Oh goodie. Manolo Saiz says he wants to make a comeback and return to cycling.
- Oscar Pereiro, who is now the official winner of the 2006 Tour de France, says he has sympathy for Floyd Landis.
- Remember Stuart O’Grady’s nasty crash in the Tour this year? Well, his return to racing hasn’t been easy. It’s good to know that even the pros get scared sometimes.
- It’s happened. Johan Bruyneel has agreed to shepherd the Astana team, in tatters after this year’s doping scandals, and the 2007 Tour de France champ, Alberto Contador, is close to a deal with the Kazakh team as well.

O’Grady broke eight ribs, a collarbone, three vertebrae and the AC joint in his shoulder, punctured a lung, sustained a blood clot to the brain and spent a month in hospital.
Living here in the south, I work with a guy that’s a Neck-car (NASCAR if you can’t decode this) fan that tries to stir me up about how cyclists are pansies. For O’Grady to be back a few months after all of this, cyclists are definitely tougher than anyone that spends their entire career turning left all the time.
