- We've added live Eurosport tickers in Deutsch and Espanol.
There should be some live audio streaming tomorrow.
- The Eurosport live coverage of
Paris-Nice will not start until tomorrow, Monday. The
Eurosport France live ticker is active today, however.
- We will be using a 3G mobile broadband modem
to connect today directly from the race course. Hopefully we won't
have connection problems and the rain won't get too bad. In the
event that we cannot get a mobile connection, then we will not be updating
links until after today's stage. Either way, it usually takes a
day or two to get a set of links that people can use for the remainder
of the race. We know of one live video stream that won't even
start before tomorrow, Monday, though at this time we do not know if it will
be available worldwide.
2008 Paris-Nice: Prologue
Paris - At 9:30 CET, it is cool and drizzly in Paris. We'll
be on our way shortly to Amilly to cover the race, so this edition of
"Breakfast at the races" will be short.
According to this morning's L'Equipe newspaper, Pat
McQuaid will be in Amilly for the prologue today. Sounds like
fun. Maybe he'll say he was misunderstood, that he didn't say he'd
suspend anyone but rather he would hand out UCI logo suspenders to all riders
who participate in Paris-Nice? Anyway, actually Pat is a good guy,
from a family with a long history of organizing races and passionate about
cycling. It's a tough situation he's in having inherited the ill-fated
ProTour.
Read on below to learn about American Team Type 1 starting
the Tour de Taiwan today with defending champion
Shawn Milne on the squad. Good luck guys...

Paris-Nice isn't the only stage race getting underway today. The
2008 Tour de Taiwan (March 9-15) will see
the American team, Team Type 1, competing. Riding for the
team this year is 2007 Tour de Taiwan champion, American Shawn Milne.
Joining Milne on the road are Emile Abraham (Trinidad/Tobago),
Chris Jones (U.S.), Valeriy
Kobzarenko (Ukraine), and Phil Southerland (U.S.).

Quote of the day: "The
ProTour system as it is today is completely bombed" (UCI president Pat
McQuaid)
|
Editorial
A.S.O. once again tests positive
for hypocrisy, the U.C.I. for incompetence
On the eve of Paris-Nice, the real start to the pro cycling season
for many people, including seven-time champion Sean Kelly, it is clear
more than ever that leadership is lacking in this sport. Race organizer
Amaury Sport Organization (A.S.O.) is really nothing more than a banal
business and the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) is threatening to
punish others, including teams and riders, for its own total failure
to sell its version of the reform of the sport, the UCI ProTour, to all
parties.
It is hardly a surprise that Paris-Nice, A.S.O.'s first race in
Europe in 2008, is the first real battleground of the new season in the
years-long war between the Tour de France organizer and the U.C.I. It
was at the 2005 Paris-Nice that the ProTour was officially launched with
none other than Lance Armstrong (and his Discovery Channel team) making
a token appearance, perhaps as a favor to then-UCI president Hein Verbruggen,
the man behind the ProTour and as a current UCI vice-president arguably
the man still behind UCI decision-making pulling the strings of UCI president
Pat McQuaid. Only now is a bitter U.C.I. starting to acknowledge
what has been clear for many months; the ProTour is dead.
The disagreement between A.S.O. and the U.C.I. is fundamentally
about the role of the Tour de France in the reform of cycling. For
A.S.O., understandably, any reform of cycling must have the Tour de France
at the center. The Tour de France is the Olympics, only better, and
takes place every year. For the U.C.I. it is about weakening the
influence of the Tour de France and spreading the wealth. These two
visions of the future are mutually-exclusive, thus the never-ending fighting.
The latest round of fighting became inevitable when A.S.O. announced
last month that the Astana cycling team of 2007 Tour champion Alberto
Contador (then riding for Discovery Channel) was not welcome at Paris-Nice
or any of its races this season, including the Tour de France, because
of the Astana team's role in tarnishing the Tour's image last July with
the positive dope test of Alexandre Vinokourov.
Despite the exclusions of Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso from the 2006
Tour, we have never been fooled into believing that A.S.O. was serious
about doing whatever it could as an event organizer to fight doping in
cycling. Not even a positive dope sample given by 2006 Tour winner
Floyd Landis resulted in A.S.O. moving beyond the rhetoric in 2007.
The best way for a race organizer to do its part to fight doping
is to do what it can to prevent suspect teams and individuals from entering
its events and to reward teams that take serious steps in-house to fight
doping. A.S.O. has now failed twice in the case of the Astana team,
first when it extended an invitation to the team when it was led by Alexandre
Vinokourov despite numerous signs that Vinokourov was not riding clean.
More to the point, A.S.O. itself did not believe "Vino" to be a
clean rider. In fact, the performance expert, Fred Grappe, of the
Amaury Group's cycling publication, Velo Magazine, wrote following Vino's
2006 Vuelta win that the display of power shown by Vino and his teammate
Andrey Kashechkin was beyond the limits of human potential without medical
assistance. But A.S.O., which has always put revenue-generating spectacle
ahead of sporting concerns or ethics, invited them to the 2007 Tour anyway.
The "confidence" expressed by A.S.O. was not one of belief the riders
would not dope but one of belief that they would not be caught. That
distinction lies at the core of the culture of doping in professional sports.
There may not have been enough evidence in early 2007 for the UCI
to suspend Vinokourov. There may not have been enough evidence available
to most cycling fans to conclude with certainty that Vino was not clean.
However, a race organizer who speaks loud and clear about the need
to fight doping had the option of simply not inviting Vinokourov's team,
particularly since they did not believe him to be clean. A race
organizer who speaks loud and clear about the damage done to the image
of its main event really need look no further than its own attitude regarding
doping.
It isn't difficult to understand why A.S.O. in 2007 would want
a rider like Vinokourov at its events. The Vuelta champion was
well liked in France, had ridden for French teams in the past, and he
had panache. He would animate the race and drive up the ratings
and ultimately revenues. Alas, when Vino tested positive during the
2007 Tour de France, an angry Tour director Christian Prudhomme declared
that riders were playing "russian roulette". But no one had played
the game more than A.S.O. itself.
And as no case of intellectual dishonesty on the part of A.S.O.
goes unaccompanied by propaganda from French sports daily L'Equipe, like
ASO owned by the Amaury Group, an editorial in L'Equipe pointed to the
Vinokourov positive as an example of why ASO should be allowed to invite
the teams it wants to the races instead of being told by the UCI what teams
will compete. Nevermind that ASO chose Astana as a wild card team.
Meanwhile, some in France are concerned that Vinokourov will follow
through with his threat to write a tell-all book.
On the question of rewarding teams for taking measures to fight
doping, A.S.O. failed again when it announced last month that the revamped
Astana team led by Johan Bruyneel was not welcome at any of its events
this season. This despite the fact that Astana hired renowned anti-doping
expert Dr. Rasmus Damsgaard and is thus doing more than most teams in
the pro peloton today to test its own riders. Eddy Merckx was right
when he said there is no good reason to prevent 2007 Tour champion Contador
from defending his title.
While some continue to believe Contador may be tied to the Operation
Puerto doping scandal despite his being cleared of any involvement,
ASO has stated publicly they do not have a problem with Contador himself.
A.S.O. has always been quick to speak out against doping. Its
actions rarely follow the rhetoric, however, such as when it presented
Frenchman Richard Virenque with an award for his record seven Tour de France
King of the Mountains jerseys at the presentation of the 2005 Tour route.
Let's be clear: A.S.O. has no credibility whatsoever in the
so-called "war on doping".
It would be wrong to suggest that nothing A.S.O. does helps to
discourage doping. As the saying goes, even a broken clock is
right twice a day. But the evidence through the years is overwhelming
that A.S.O. cannot really be bothered with the problem. Dopers
are welcome at A.S.O. races as long as they are good for business and
that means not getting caught doping.
UCI president Pat McQuaid is correct to point out the dangers inherent
in a company like A.S.O. having too much control of the sport. The
problem is that it is the UCI that initially provoked the current situation
with its ill-conceived ProTour. The UCI should have anticipated
that ASO would be a problem. Instead, they have been thoroughly
out-maneuvered by the race organizer and now everyone is paying for their
ineptitude.
Given ASO's attitude toward doping, it seems clear that the exclusion
of Astana from its races was designed simply as the final nail in the
coffin of the UCI ProTour.
So, finally perhaps everyone can now agree that the ProTour is
dead.
Now what?

2008 Paris-Nice: Eve of the Prologue
Paris - "Breakfast at the races" is a new feature at cyclingfans.com.
The idea will be to share some thoughts each morning regarding
that day's race or stage, what people are talking about, what's in the
media and so forth. I'll also post an occasional photo, typically
in the start town, from the morning of a race.
I planned to start this column a couple of years ago and even went
so far as to buy a croissant for the accompanying photo. But I
ate the croissant before I could get a photo of it and that was that.
Then I was going to launch this at last month's Tour of California.
But my hotel internet connection worked about as often as pro cyclist
Frank Vandenbroucke actually gets to the start line of a race. Then
my laptop started acting up in the press room at Stanford University and
I had no idea where to find croissants in Palo Alto anyway.
As I flew across the Atlantic Thursday night, I wondered what the
Friday morning French newspapers would be saying about Paris-Nice given
the ongoing fighting between A.S.O. and the U.C.I. What teams would
show up? Would A.S.O. spokesman Tour director Christian
Prudhomme challenge U.C.I. spokesman president Pat McQuaid
to a two-man bicycle race? (That is one area where McQuaid might
actually win.)
It looks like Paris-Nice is a go with most or all of the teams
competing. This is good news because once you start losing sponsors
and/or media coverage of bike races there is no guarantee they will return.
A.S.O., rumored to be looking to acquire the Vuelta, may be the
Microsoft of pro cycling (only worse since A.S.O. has no real competition)
and must be stopped at some point but undermining its races now could
prove fatal to the sport. The UCI has finally admitted the ProTour
is done. They don't have a Plan B. So let's just have some
racing and let the riders do the speaking with their legs.
-Pete Geyer

Note: Several people have asked about live coverage for
tomorrow's Monte Paschi Eroica. We're not aware of any
live coverage at this time but if something turns up in the morning we
will certainly list it. But tomorrow is just the second edition
of Monte Paschi Eroica so live coverage seems unlikely. For those
of you with satellite coverage, Bernie S. says RAI is showing
(at 17:00 CET) a 35 minute delayed highlights program.
Note: Today is the Vuelta a Murcia Mountain Time Trial.
