The 'pro riding undersized frame' trend takes a turn toward the ridiculous:

Agree with the poster above, that was an appalling interview Benson has come across as a blunt instrument in that (again) and good luck to him getting anyone to talk to him in the future.

I give him credit for asking some questions that many wouldnt. I mean, how dare anyone offend a fan favorite like armstr...wait wait I mean Jens. I forgot, this is 2013 not 2001. Granted he wasnt asking those questions when it really mattered. Better late than never I guess.
Honestly if Jens gets angry about those types of questions then he might be in for a long farewell season.
Will admit that it was an odd interview. They were good friends at the end there. Hugs and kisses then they both asked for their paycheck.

I've got no 'Jens love' problems at all, in fact, I think the guy was probably in on the whole thing. That's not the problem w/ Benson's interview in my eyes. The problem is that he does a horrid job trying to frame his argument and put people into corners to uncover the 'big' story and he never gets anywhere and ends up doing a disservice to the war on doping and to cycling in general.

.....ouch I just came out a bit rough, must be the hangover! :D

I know that the route has changed, part of the joke that he'd never get over the extra hills w/ that 'winter layer'

Bummer for Rogers. :cry: I doubt you're blood doping or anything for the Japan Cup, sounds like a 'real' contamination if you ask me. I think he was clean post-Tmobile...
