Around the Web on Wheels: 5 February 2007

How many days until Paris-Nice??

• Two riders were taken to the hospital after a crash in the sprint finish of Stage 4 in the Tour de Langkawi. At least one of them won’t be returning to the race.
• Oscar Sevilla has a new home - with Professional Continental Team Relax-Gam Fuenlabrada. The team is rumored to be interested in signing another former T-Mobile rider implicated in the Operación Puerto scandal - Jan Ullrich.
• If the rumors are untrue and Ullrich still doesn’t have a team, at least he won’t have to ride naked. He’s got a new contract to be the face of X-Bionic sportswear as their “Bionic Man.”
• Britain’s Bradley Wiggins doesn’t take too kindly to sharing the road with cheats.
• Jörg Jaksche, among those named in the Operación Puerto doping scandal, is irritated about the state of things: “Nobody is taking responsibility for this. We’re looking at the ruins of our sport, although no sanctions have been imposed. The image of cycling is equally destroyed as the existence of many riders.”
• Cyclingpost has an exclusive interview with Michael Rasmussen, winner of last year’s polka dot jersey in the Tour de France. Personally, I think he looks less like a climber and more like a concentration camp survivor.
• Here’s a report from the Discovery Channel training camp, with several pictures of the new kit - back in black, anyone?
