Two giants in the world of cycling have been temporarily derailed by the Fredo Corleone of bike companies. The legends are Greg Lemond and Mongo, and the sniveling weasel of a bike company is...let's all say it together...Trek.
Lemond, as a brand, is getting dumped by Trek because, if you sift through all the bullshit, Greg wouldn't "play nice" and stop talking crap about Lance Armstrong. Trek, as a brand, is tied to Armstrong like an anchor, and they want to stay above water.
Mongo, on the best and fastest Monday ride all season, was unceremoniously dumped at 28mph when a rookie mistake was made in the peleton. A guy riding...say it with me...a Trek Madone crossed Mongo's front wheel and, of course, carnage ensued. I usually make light of my injuries, but this time Mongo is banged up pretty badly.
Mongo loves Greg Lemond. Not only is he a great champion, but also a beacon of truth in the fog of liars and cheats in professional cycling. I hope the Lemond brand will live on with a company worthy of carrying Greg's chamois. If not...Fuck 'em!
