Garmin-Chipotle names Tour squad

As captured in this posting on velonews.com. People will probably anticipate my next statement: I'm really depressed to see DZ isn't on the list, since that basically confirms the rumors that he hasn't fully healed from his accident.

On a happier note, CSC released their squad, too. Both of the Schleck brothers made the cut, which makes me happy. Seeing the two of them cooperate in the peleton has always made me happy.

An Ode to DZ

As most cycling fans probably know, Dave Zabriskie crashed horribly in the Giro earlier this week, breaking a vertebrae. In a show of support and respect, I present the first ever Friday Fun Time Haiku:

David Zabriskie:
Time Trial champion.
Hope your back heals soon!

. . .

Okay, that was really lame. Let me try again:

DZ broke his back.
Now he gets some valium.
Hey, think he'll share some?

. . .

Yet again, allow me to revel in my own lack of poetry skill:

You fall, hurt your back.
I cannot write good haiku,
so I better stop.
