rock tells haters to shove it.

after all the "micheal ball is going to ruin cycling" talk that was going on just a few months ago before the tour of california...
and the bike industry sponsors dropping rock racing like it was hot...

well, it seems that the racing in the usa and elsewhere is still ok.
the sky has not fallen.

rather than destroy cycling, rock stepped up with the cash to help fund cash strapped events like the tour of georgia.
and philly.
and the harlem crit.
and more.

"that's all fine and good", you say, "but he's just out to sell jeans, he's a dick, and i still hate him".

well, mr. ball just gave all the haters a big middle finger, as he launches a fund to help cover medical cost of injured cyclists at the elite and amateur levels.
funded both from his own pocket, and the sales of r&r clothing.

i stand by my earlier statements that rock is good for cycling.
ball may be a jerk, but he likes cycling and he does more for it that anyone i can think of.
(lance).

scott bikes, look bikes, and hed wheels really "dropped the ball", in my opinon, by dropping ball.

but i know no one really cares about my opinion.
and why should they?
