    Just watching Sky Sports News there and saw an interview that mentioned Cavendish had left Sky and moved to a new team?

    Is this new news or am I just well behind the times?:P

    In related news, it has been announced that Shergar is reported as being missing.

    It was announced about 3 weeks ago that he'd signed for Ofmega Pharma. Quick step...


    In related news bears have been found to defaecate in tree covered areas and the Pope is suspected of being a catholic....

    What exactly is a tree cover? and why would a bear defaecate in the area in which they are kept? Would a bear not be more likely defaecate in a forested area, otherwise refered to by some as "the woods", given that it is more likely to be theire natural habitat than some area where tree covers are stored? :D

    There unaware of cycling news bar drugs.

    They only seem to report drug related cycling news. They discussed the whole Lance thing, but not cav going to Quickstep, which is big (if expected) news in cycling terms

    There's a rumour going around about the great Maurice Garin as well, some say he could be stripped of his second win!
    Surely that sort of thing can't happen in this day and age....

    A vet from Belfast has invented a new wheel. Apparently it has air between the wheel and the tread and is called "pen you metric". Sounds a bit over complicated so prob won't catch on.
