- A panel is finally named for the UCI Independent Commission. We’re cautiously optimistic at this point, as it has fewer buddies and relatives of the Dynamic Duo than we expected [Cycling Weekly] Anna just likes to say the titles of those involved.

- Benoit Joachim laments that dopers made more money and had longer careers than him…and that he never doped. [Cyclingnews]
- More pro stars than ever are on Twitter- does it affect your opinion of them? Also, Jeff does his Jens impression. And spends some time on a soapbox.
- Stop the presses! Vino paid for a race win! Who is shocked by this? Anyone? [VeloNation]
- Wiggins gets hit by a car and changes his tune (events not related). [VeloNation]
