Let the Fun Begin!

So the pro camps are wrapping up and Tour of Quatar has just finished. For many American Cycling fans the Tour of California starts the beginning of the season. There are many unanswered questions. Will Basso regain his form and be allowed to race in France? Will Levi regain form? Can Tommy D emerge as a serious contender or will he just continue to be the "next great white hype"? Will Ulrich find a team?
What will happen in the saga of the grand tours vs. the uci? And last but finally not least.... Will Floyd ride again? With all of this controversy it is easy to become jaded and just say "Screw it. I'll just ride my bike." Ultimately it might come down to that, but as a cycling fan as well as a rider, I have to hope that this mess will get cleaned up and we'll be able to cheer these guys on once again.
