In Hinault's ghosted autobiography, there were several instances where something to the effect of, 'if he hadn't moved out of the way, I would have taken him outside and showed him.' Felt like it was every chapter.
Of course after that b&w shot from '84 Paris-Nice, the strikers got together and pummeled him. Broke a few of his ribs. He finished the race.

Remember back in January when there were stories about Richie Porte improving because he was back in the pool?
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/swimming-behind-portes-return-to-form
Now, we're to believe his success is due to finally figuring out (thanks to an offhand comment by a physiologist last year) that he didn't have the body of a cyclist. It's in the lastest Velo.
I don't know if the first narrative was forgotten or if nobody believed it.

Trek To Sell Bikes Online
Bicycle Retailer reported that beginning September, Trek will offer bikes for sale online. The bikes will be delivered through their current dealers who will do the assembly and get a service commission. Everyone was waiting for one of the major bike companies to do this. So now the cat is out of the bag it’s only a matter of time for the others to follow.
On the surface, I don’t see any real advantage to the consumer. They will have a bigger selection but they could have special ordered the bike through a shop anyway. Trek now controls the price so getting that special good customer deal from a shop isn’t an option.
Bike shops will make less money but will have lower overheads as they primarily become service centers. It will have a profound effect on the entire industry selling to shops because shops will sell less. If you are a Trek dealer, there’s really not much of an option. Trek by its own estimates sells 30-40% of the bikes sold in bike shops.
Trek will also quickly find out that there is no reason for their sales to increase unless they run promotions – which lower profits. Their competitors will have to do the same. This is the only possible advantage consumers could have.
One of the biggest benefits Trek will have is they will be selling directly to consumers and will have that database for promotion and marketing at a very, very low cost. Communicating a message through independent bike shops has always been a nightmare. Now they can do that directly. No need to go through bike shops or the media to communicate a message when you have everyone’s contact information.
This is, without doubt, the single biggest development in the industry since I have been in it. Let the fireworks begin.
