<div class="MsoNormal">
Seems like the year after the Olympics is always a good time
to clean house. Get rid of the junk that has stayed around, sometimes far too
long. After 2012 the women’s peloton has seen a departure of a few hags that we
are shamelessly happy to be rid of.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’ start with Anne Samplonius. Very high on the hag factor
and she is gone, gone gone. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, so maybe she was good and had a decent (long) career and
her second to last season was not so bad for a cranky Canuck – but what the
heck did she do in 2012?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not much. Sure
she had Alison “politely mean” Powers on her team in 2012
so she was relegated to a workhorse, but still – her age seemingly caught up to
her and she was not the Anne of old, but rather old Anne. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yep – it was time for this hag to go.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We say thank you Anne, au revoir, and politely we will forget
you very quickly – like we do to all ex-women pro cyclists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Does anyone even know the name Leontien van Moorsel? How
about Julie Young?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeanne Golay? All
long forgotten. Unless you attach or marry yourself to a man-pro, like Dede Demet-Barry,
or Jessica (Phillips) van der Garden, once you leave the female pro ranks you
are wiped clean from the slate of women’s pro cycling. Our memories are short,
our brains whirled in circles with all that excessive pedaling: it’s not our
fault. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, even those who try to return do so in relative
anonymity, unless you have red hair and a vibrant personality to match (more on
her in a bit). Take for example that pocket-sized Italian, Fabiana Luperini,
quite the star in her day, with a list of palmarès that ranks her as one of the
best female cyclists ever – so what if she cycled the “Italian way”, eating the
breakfast of champions consumed by the likes of Lance Armstrong, et al. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She won, and she won big. But no one even knew
she raced the Exergy Tour this year, she hid at the back, not the same Lupi of
old where she shot up climbs faster than down. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I digress.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Who else departed our ranks?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well Ina-Yoko Tuetenberg teeter-tottered on the fence so long even she
was not sure which way she would fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Finally she landed back in the peloton, and thus we cannot say gute nacht
and send this hag to bed - yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ina your
time will come and you too will be <i>hagged</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We did get rid of another German: Judith Arndt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is one helluva talented hag and she went
out in style by winning the coveted rainbow jersey in the Worlds TT and had lesbians
all over the world in tears of joy. However, the beloved rainbow will not be
worn with PRIDE in the peloton for 2013 and our condolences go out to the LGBT cycling
crowd. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best sorority sister in the women’s peloton had to be
Kristin Sanders and she departed us early in the season. She will be missed,
undoubtedly, by envious female cyclists who always wanted to have that boob job
but never had the guts to do it. Sanders made a great PR stab at returning to
racing with two legs, rather than the one she claimed to race on for years due
to who-the hell-knows-what problem. 2012 was to be her breakthrough, comeback
season – she was healed – she had lofty goals – and she promptly fell flat on
her ass at Redlands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kudos for her to
pull the plug ASAP. Not too many hags can do that! She has since entered the
world of bodybuilding – and she has the blonde hair, the body and boobs to pull
that off. Good-bye hag and good-luck bodybuilders everywhere. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The biggest over-achiever in women’s cycling also left us:
Nicky Wangsgard. Perhaps not quite as haggard as the others, but definitely one
cyclist who overstayed her welcome (what hag hasn’t?). I am not sure we will
find another Nicky – oh such a small engine and oh such big results she pulled
out of her arse. Her biggest win was last season in Charlotte, without
teammates. But that’s what Nicky did. Like an annoying flu you could not shake (but
a decent hill always could) she was sneaky, crafty and held on way longer than
she possible should or could– and saved her one and only silver bullet for the
end. When it counts. She had enough of a kick to outkick, and outkick she did
in Charlotte.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good-bye Nicky, we will
miss you, your determination, grit and overachieving ways. But we will forget you
faster than your kick. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Clara Hughes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was
long forgotten. It’s what we do best in women’s cycling. Then she returned to
make sure that some of our memories still worked. They didn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had to start again and so she did. She won.
And won some more. But she did return when her biggest rival in the USA was
still carrying baby fat (not the baby fat of juniors - the other kind - the
baby fat of those who give birth) and it made her rise to the top fast,
bringing the exorbitant, red head back up to the forefront of some of our
memories, some of us, that is, that still had deep - albeit pushed way to the bottom
of our long-term memory cache - smidges of something talented, big and red. Clara
Hughes came rushing back into our peloton - and minds - fast and furious. And briefly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After she lost the big one at the overblown O, she left as quickly
as she came. So fast she could not even finish out the 2012 season. Now we are
left with two memories of Clara, years apart (like seven or something
ridiculous like that); we are left with two remnants of something
preposterously red (the color is a key if you have not noticed) that will just clutter up our long-term memory vault – with
the limited storage in these vaults we really need retired hags to stay
retired. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And now the best for last: the last hag from the 2012 season,
maybe the best there was and ever will be, finally re-retired. Kristin “I am
the real” Armstrong came back after birthing a nuisance (aren’t all babies?)
just to make our lives miserable again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
succeeded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that, and her goal of
winning gold at the big O.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And she just
had to try and take the nuisance on the podium with her in London. So cliché.
Thankfully saner O heads prevailed and said hell no. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyhow, you made your point KA. You already made that
point pre-nuisance baby. You did not have to return. We had already moved on – we
were oh, so close to forgetting. We knew you were the best TT’er in the world, but
before we could completely forget, you came to remind us of your presence one more year, and now
we have to re-forget all over again. Thanks. And good riddance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So bye-bye to the hags of 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But do not fret! The women’s peloton has an
abundance, and there’s always up and comers on the horizon to fill your vacant saddles.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stay tuned for 2013 when we say ciao to a whole new gaggle
of hags.</div>

</style><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello to all of you “in the know,” we’re putting together
our first out-reach initiative for the Anti-HFS Movement! We’re thinking
fundraisers, 5k bicycle rides, and who knows, maybe even a coffee line (‘cause
if that hunk of a man, McDreamy, can do it then why can't we?).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Woah, back-up. What the hell’s a HFS and good God, do I have
it? Good question and I hope by the end of this blog post, you will be much more
informed because while it may be a novel acronym, it is most certainly not a
new disease.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yep, that’s right. Helpless Female Syndrome. Ladies, have
you ever been stranded on the side of the road because you couldn’t properly
change your tire or perhaps, you don’t even own a 5 mil and have to take your
bike to a LBS every time it squeaks? Do you b*tch, moan, and make the poor sap
(who decided to date you) go to the store, make you dinner, buy your Midol, and
rub your feet?* </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If, while reading the symptoms above, you nodded your head slowly
or gave a faint chuckle that was quickly followed by a glance around the room
to see who heard, you may be a victim of HFS. Now don’t get me wrong, not even
bike gossip girl is immune to such a rampant syndrome as I’ve batted these long lashes once or
twice to get what I want from those “so muscle-y and strong.” However, I’m fed
up with the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">frequency</b> of such events
that I’ve observed in the peloton. Goodness Gracious! We’re racing our bicycles
at 28 mph and risking our lives everyday that we head out on the road, and you
can’t even pump up your own goddamn tires? That’s a problem - no, wait, that’s
a syndrome and it now has a name – HFS – and I’ve got great plans to combat it
once and for all.</span></div>

<br />
<div>
After one of their most successful years in quite a while (minus the Olympics), word on the street is that the women's AIS road program will make massive cuts for 2013. I guess the powers to be have their knickers in a twist after a poorer than expected showing at the Olympics, and the fact that girls they overlooked (think Rowney and Neylan), have been some of the breakthrough Aussie riders in 2012. Sour grapes anyone?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In another smart move, apparently all the national coaching contracts were renewed just before the Olympics. I wish my teachers gave me As and passed me to the next grade before I even sat the test! So it appears the boys club lives on, while the girls suffer the consequences. And we thought USUCK were bad! How bout AISHIT?!</div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
Thanks for checking out bike gossip girl. We recently received the below email from someone:<br />
<br />
--- <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Is this site real? <br />
<br />
Is this site real and will any tips I offer truly be anonymous?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

We'd like to take this opportunity to explain to you how this blog works. Bike Gossip Girl is all of us. This blog contains posts from multiple authors - some who submitted many posts, some who submitted just one. If you have some gossip that you'd like to share anonymously, this is your venue!<br />
<br />
Here is how it works:<br />
<br />
Email your post to: bikegossipgirl.tips@blogger.com You should write your email just as you would like the post to appear on the website. Have the post title in the subject line of the email, and the post itself in the email body. Have your post written just as you would like it to appear on the website. The admins of this website don't need to edit your work (although we might, if we feel like there is a good one liner that just <i>needs</i> to go in).<br />
<br />
Also, no need for gossip to be long. Of course, we love long funny posts with trite one-liners... but if you have some gossip that just <i>needs</i> to be out there, a sentence or two will do.<br />
<br />
After you send an email, your post will display like this in the admin panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr64odTpZ-lWF4DE8lnb8lWag9uscPceA3DrTZQk8DgIsjFWDOfc-48q_shKJtCPy0ceEGHfugJZMRljJ-XQqJVnax11iHv2hCyEnCT3XzEH2FSzAoNQdeTkmWkm_nDQiEjHKUSn9vAl4/s1600/bgg.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr64odTpZ-lWF4DE8lnb8lWag9uscPceA3DrTZQk8DgIsjFWDOfc-48q_shKJtCPy0ceEGHfugJZMRljJ-XQqJVnax11iHv2hCyEnCT3XzEH2FSzAoNQdeTkmWkm_nDQiEjHKUSn9vAl4/s400/bgg.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The picture above is to assure you that your submission is <i>completely</i> anonymous. As you can see, when Boca Di Bici sent the above email to the bikegossipgirl.tips@blogger.com, it just populated as a draft post automatically the blog -- with "bike gossip girl" as the author. The admins have absolutely no idea what email any post came from.<br />
<br />
After posts are submitted as drafts, the admins of the site will hit publish, and they will go on the blog - with "bike gossip girl" as the author. It could be made so that emails you send are automatically published as posts, but we are concerned about spam, so for now they will go as saved drafts first.<br />
<br />
So, there you see, <i>everyone</i> can be bike gossip girl~ no one knows who said what, not even the blog creators - who may not even write one post.<br />
<br />
Any more questions? Please ask us. But more importantly, please send gossip posts! We need lots more dirt on the peloton. </div>

Hello all who’ve happened to miraculously stumble upon this little gem, do we have treats
for you! A lot of interest has been expressed since last week's very first post and we hope to continue to build our viewerbase even
more! An aussie contingent? We'd love a good AIS-bashing. Make sure to keep the tips flowing (anonymously, of course) by emailing bikegossipgirl.tips@blogger.com <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">and Retweet our sh*T. </span>

Hey all bicycle racers, fans, and Freds, BikeGossipGirl here
and I’m posting the first rendition of what will hopefully be a season full of
the latest and greatest bicycling news that you won’t see anywhere else. To
begin with, it seems like all the women’s teams are slow to post rosters for
2013 so we’ve decided to conduct a little of our own research:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Specialized-Lululemon:
</b>The epilepsy-inducing kits are back! Returning is the Wall Street banker
turned superstar, Evie Stevens, who will likely try to win every stage race she
enters this year. In addition to Evie, it looks like the team has strengthened their GC
riders bringing on Tayler from Exergy. Notable exclusion is Amber Neben, who
has transferred a Italia, perhaps annoyed with the aforementioned banker’s non Cav-like interviews after the world championships (not to mention, the suppos'ed Exergy Tour debacle). Likewise, with the
retirement of Ina “I Eat Babies For Breakfast” Teutenberg, and the transfer of
Aussie Chloe Hoskins to Hitec, Lulu lacks the sprinting prowess that it’s had
in years past. Moral of the story: bunch sprint: okay, but don’t let these
chicks get up the road or else we’re all screwed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">TIBCO</b>: With Megan
going to Rabo, and a score of girls quitting the sport outright, this team has
just about shattered from last year and is going to be nearly unrecognizable.
However, Tibco is certainly bringing on a wealth of talent including Claudia
Haussler who joins the American-based UCI team from Europe and Shelley, California’s
prodigal daughter, who is returning after a short stunt in Europe, bringing
along her <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">personal</i> director.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Optum</b>: With a new
UCI license, Optum is back on a vengeance with the signing of Lauren Hall
(first loser of both the USA National Criterium and Road Race titles). Notables
missing from the 2013 roster are Anna Barensfield (to TIBCO?) and Lex Albrecht
(to NOW?). Lex won a stage of Cascade Classic as well as the QOM and Best Young
Rider’s jersey, making it quite strange that Optum didn’t do everything in
their power to keep this young climbing sensation on board. Also, I would’ve
thought that Amanda Miller would be included on the roster as she’s been
racing for them this Cyclocross season, but alas, she is not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">NOW</b>: Is this team
still living? Their social media is despicable. Srsly. Despite this, from the
best our abilities, it looks like Robin, Alison, Olivia, Devon, and Beth are
returning and our sources tell us that the addition of a couple of “strong
no-names” (oxymoron?) is sure to make this team a powerhouse. One notable exclusion
from the roster is Addy, i.e. “Baby Pro,” who is rumored to have jumped across
the Atlantic and joined the UCI “Big Leagues” in Europe. That’s a hell of a
jump but <b><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><i>In bocca al lupo</i>!</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Colavita-espn: </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">While the team did nothing much
to note of this past season, they’ll likely get a boost in palmares in 2013 as Team
Director Tina Pic returns after getting the big middle finger from USUCK to be
the National Team’s DS. Good for Colavita, Bad for the future of the Stars
& Stripes.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Exergy 2016</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">: Will this team ever see the light of day in 2013?
With the men’s team recently cut and Team sponsor, Exergy, overpromising and
underdelivering in the cycling world, rumor has it that this team has been reduced
from 14 riders to 7. No doubt the dynamics of the team will change with Olympic
superstar Kristen Armstrong retiring for the second time (Comeback 3.0 in
2015?). However, the addition of one the finest billygoats this nation has ever
produced, Mara Abbott, will likely make this team a force on the climbs. I’m
shaking in my boots just thinking about it. No time cut puhlease!!! DS-wise,
Michael Englemen looks like he’s on board to direct Exergy. Funny how despite
being</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> someone who
has always been outspoken against USUCK cycling policies, he’s now directing it’s
biggest insider team. I guess you can’t stick it to the man forever…</span><b><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></b></div>

California-based elite team Vanderkitten is going to be Primal 2.0 with
the additions of Liza Rachetto and Emily Kachorek. With Liza’s husband being the director of VK, what
will this mean for the team’s racing dynamics next year? Time will tell but all
we know is that we love a good catfight. Meow.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">FCS/ Rouse</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">: RIP. Le Shitshow du Peloton is no longer.</span></b></div>

his call to “step up” to direct the pro men’s team, who will be the next Women’s
National Team DS? We’ve heard a few proposals on the table, and all we have to
say is that we hope it’s someone who actually gives a shit.</span></b></div>
