Well, we've all speculated and worried about the lengths that Mr Bruyneel will go to, in order to get his "string" of riders to win races.
(NB for non-UK readers, race-horse trainers refer to their collection of animals as a "string" so that remark was a cheap insult, insinuating that Mr B treats riders like horses. IE breaks them far too young, flogs them to death for a couple of years then throws them out to the cat-meat factory. Let's hope not, eh?)
We have discussed the "special wind-tunnel testing" that was reputed to be responsible for improving Time Trialling out of all recognition: we even had some Schpleculation as to what it would actually entail...
...but now the truth is out, Mr B is looking at mystics and fortune-tellers. Madame Zebelda and her gypsy earrings will be sitting in the back of the RadioShack bus, reading palms and making dramatic announcements.
What am I talking about?
This:
Read what it says under the photo:
"Johan Bruyneel will attempt to work the oracle with Andy Schleck in 2012."
"Oracle"?
Do you think they meant to say "Miracle" by any chance?
Honestly, how many times have I offered my proof-reading skills to these people, in return for promotional items or possibly a ride on the camera bike? And do they take me up on it? No, they do not. *sighs*
