Dear French Railways:  We are staging a small race this weekend.  Please give us more than 30 seconds heads up if you have any bullet trains coming through that morning.

French railway seeks legal action against Roubaix riders
 
Paris Roubaix has a loooong tradition of dealing and stopping while the train rides by. Sometimes it has solidified the lead.

Can you even imagine if a rider had been hit by the train?!?
There'd be nothing left.....those suckers haaaaul

Without casting judgment on any rider, this highlights how convoluted pro racing is structured and how little safety net or leverage the riders have in their sport. 
^see Cosmo's last HTRWW...
That's like going to work for Maddoff and then suing the SEC because you lost your job. Please. Ridiculous.

I understand the pressure Fuglsang wants to place on the UCI, but he should actually consider suing Vinokourov.

Ultimately, whether Astana is allowed to continue or not, Cookson wants to send a message, and he has. 

Cookson is also stating the obvs: Astana today looks not unlike Postal/Discovery, and that is not ok.

The relevant quote from Chris Horner:

Horner defended his decision not to contribute, saying he is still suffering from lung problems that cropped up during last year's Tour de France, and isn't at his best. "Everyone was saying, Chris you have to put someone on the front, and I said no, I can't win," Horner told Cyclingnews. "The break gained that time because they said if you don't ride, we won't ride. But I'm not going to put my guys on the front to get fifth. Clearly they're going to out time-trial me, too, so clearly if they want to win they're going to have to ride the front."
