And here we go again... Aaron Gwin's words: "Aaron Gwin says, “I did not breach any contract” I'm writing this public note to hopefully shed a little light on what's actually going on with my move to Specialized. Reports that I broke my contract with 23 Degrees/Trek World Racing are false.  My contract expired.  The one-page letter of intent I signed said there would be a “full length contract” with “precise terms” coming in the future.  The 16-page contract that showed up in late November was not signed by me because it was not the deal we had made. I have moved on to a team that gave me the contract I wanted, and these are the facts. The press reports are inaccurate, unfair, and one-sided. Because 23 Degrees has hired lawyers and threatened to sue me, my lawyers have told me not to say anything for now. While riding for Trek, I lived up to my contract and gave them my 100% effort and full commitment.  I intend on doing the same for Specialized. As for now, I want to let my fans know that my offseason training has been going great. I love my new bikes and I'm more excited to race this year than I ever have been. Big thanks to the Specialized family for such an amazing opportunity and support. I hope everyone understands that I cannot talk any further about this at this time, but I felt like I needed to clear the air a bit, without getting too much into the legal stuff. Thanks to all the fans who have stood behind me. AG" in aarongwin.hookit.com CASE CLOSED.

From Gwin's twitter: "Proud to announce that I will be riding for Specialized moving forward. There's much more to the story than what's been shared and i'm looking forward to setting that straight very soon. Thanks to my team and fans who've had my back in this time" 22 minutes ago. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/kl8jle

If you find problems in Sydney, imagine how things are here in Brazil. Most of the LBS are crap, with an attendance ridiculous, worthless. Not to mention parts outdated or of questionable quality. Here in Brazil, our best option is to buy online from companies like Jenson or CRC. Still we waited, sometimes for months until the Brazilian authorities (most sloppy and corrupt) release the orders, but first we need to pay absurd taxes in cash (60% industrialized products tax, plus up to 20%, varying from state to state Federation). It is this corrupt country that will host the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics, and he lost one of the stages of the UCI World Cup DH. But that's it. We have carnival, big ass women, sun, beach, favelas, more corrupt politics of Latin American, and also a poor and lazy industry that survives thanks to the Brazilian government protectionism stupid.

"How to complicate something ridiculously simple."

Myriam Nicole! I agree. She's soooooo hot. (also has a pretty smile, of course). My favorite so far.

What happened to Myrian Nicole? Crashed? Holy shit, 33th place?
