Sorry to interrupt talk of not so secret phone calls, witnesses, and
this to that ratios, but WHAT ABOUT THAT BETTINI!?

The guy goes down the other day, struggles to get back in the peleton..
Does he lick his wounds, and take it easy , or abandons? Man, I am
really beginning to like this guy. I wish we could see more video of
him racing.

I realise he's been around for a while, and I've been following his
exploits. I just was reminded why I like the sport and still follow
races. Even with all the cases and accusations going around, guys
like Bettini keeps me going.

Bettini is a badass. He's little but he is tougher than a mallet, is a very
smart racer and has an incredible sprint. There aren't a lot of guys who can win
in as many ways as he has. The Cricket's become one of my favorite guys to
watch.

Not to put too fine a point on it but Bettini has been a hero for quite a
long time now.

In fact, he's so spectacular I'm surprised Dick Pound and ASA haven't
colluded to frame him for doping.

If you're not joking, you can purchase video from WCP of him winning
classics since 2000. Enjoy.
