Maybe you are right, many athletes that made it to the S team at their prime saw their progression somehow hampered, Vazquez in the 2000's, Hill later on, Bretjens while he was with them, Meirhaeghe... the curse of the S team?

I had a dream once that I was out riding and ran into Gwin and Jill Kintner riding Turners.

So yeah, they're probably going to Turner

That's a pretty sound bit of reasoning, and is based on as much fact as the rest of the crap we spout in here!

I agree, UCI should include Peat and Hill in the world cup start list. Appart from the fact that these absences are just part of a generational change.

Would it really make a difference? I can't remember the last time I saw Peat or Hill in the weekly WC runs as they never qualify that high in races.

Some dude saying on the Vital link that giving Hill a ride with the USA would guarantee them a gold with Aaron Gwinn - no, they've already got as good a chance of guaranteeing themselves a gold with Gwinn, with Hill they just also get themselves a chance of 38th place. He's past it, used to be awesome and now isn't, same as happened with Vouilloz, Palmer, Cedric etc.
