Voting is open

Interesting to hear the lead sport piece on Radio 4's Today programme today was the vote for the next UCI president.
As you'll be aware, the cycling world is baying for change following Pat McQuaid's tenure which has seen the meteoric rise of our sport in the UK coincide with its greatest scandal.

There's a sense that the UCI has become a hubristic untouchable clique with jobs for the boys. The white knight challenger is a straight-talking Lancastrian called Brian and he hates Pat, a lot.
Anyway, it won't be long until we know who's the next grande fromage and who's the croque monsieur.

The truth will out

Well, it's happened.  The UCI didn't duck the only decision they could make.  Not massively convincing from Pat McQuaid but a new start none the less.  There could be more if Lance wants blow the whole thing wide open, but that would mean doing the one thing he's refused to do: acknowledge his own shortcomings and tell the truth.
