Discovery Channel Team
Let the "silly season" begin. Pro-Tour Cycling is starting to look like Nascar with all of the team moves. It seems to me like there is much more movement among teams going on than normal.
Cyclingnews.com is reporting that Roger Hammond (Gbr) has not revealed his future plans but he will definitely not be returning to the Discovery team for the '07 season. That is a bit suprising to me.
Discovery has lost several riders for next year, whether it is by their choice or not. The flowing riders will not be with Discovery Channel in '07.
I hate to see Hoste and Van De Broeck leave. Hoste is a very strong classics rider and VDB is a young rider with great potential.
Discovery has already announced the addition of 3 riders to the '07 squad.

Results for Valley City Street Fair Road Race on Saturday(8/26) near Cleveland are posted.
Results for Chagrin Falls GP (Crit) on Sunday (8/27) near Cleveland have NOT been posted yet. The race promoter was Team Columbus so they most likely will not get posted. Raisin Rack Team website has a race report posted which contains the top 12 finishers in the 3-4 race.
Local rider, Tony Patrick (Nationwide) finished second in the race trailing Chris Riccardi (WVU Healthcare) to the line. The strong performance by Patrick moves him into the leaders jersey by 1 point with 2 races remaining in the series.

PolishPostal - Random Doping Control
Following today's stage of the Vuelta PolishPostal was randomly selected by doping control. Actually I got my annual checkup with typical bloodwork. It was a full screening of Hemogram, Differential and Cardiac Risk Profile. I hope that means something to you because it doesn't mean a thing to me. I do understand the following which my Doc said were excellent results.
Cholesterol - 157I was a bit suprised by my 41.8% Hematocrit. I was hoping for something a bit closer to 50%. 2 years ago when I began cyclng my value was at 45.2%. What's the deal with that?
HDL - 50
LDL - 93
Triglycerides - 70
