InnerRing: There’s a race on. It’s becoming a cliché to say we should talk about the sport instead of scandal, races instead of revelations. So here it is, a proper World Tour race packed with big names, Australian sunshine and it’s all just a few days away.

Bonnie D. Ford It was a typical Lance Event, although it was about as far from the bike as it gets. It was about spectacle and managed production and trying to craft another chapter in a punctured epic that has lost its helium and sunk to earth.

VeloNews: Michele Ferrari must have watched the Lance Armstrong/Oprah Winfrey interview with delight, seeing his old friend and client save him yet again.

CyclingNews: "He was obliged to win."





Photo: Lance Armstrong's confession fell short of a podium performance.
VeloNews: They almost came. Midway through the second half of Oprah’s “confession light,” Lance Armstrong almost looked human as he described the anguish of admitting to his son that his life and fortune were built upon a Mount Everest of lies. Almost.
