I was sad to see the demise of RBR's Road Racing Roundup, but I understand the reasons.

Fortunately, there's a solution. Because racing news tends to revolve around certain themes, I'll provide a template and you can choose the option each week :

In last week's (a) spring classic (b) grand tour stage (c) midweek race between 2 Belgian towns with unpronounceable names, an early break of lesser-known riders amassed a lead of more than 5 minutes. It appeared the break would succeed until (a) the big teams started chasing (b) the break got stopped by a train (c) the TV coverage started. The gap quickly dwindled and the plucky escapees finally (a) threw in the towel (b) threw up with 1 kilometer to go. It all came down to a desperate sprint won by (a) Mark Cavendish (b) some burly dude with razor-wire elbows. A protest was filed, but it was denied because (a) everyone lived (b) the winner was from the country where the race was held.

Lance Armstrong recently lashed out at (a) cycling officials (b) the media (c) Frenchmen because they (a) tried to prevent him from taking a shower (b) keep reporting unfounded rumors (c) eat snails and hate the Dallas Cowboys. The 7-time Tour de France winner and anti-cancer hero vowed to (a) win another 3 Tours (b) take his worldwide fame and go home (c) buy another team.

Police uncovered a new bike-racing doping ring involving (a) almost everybody (b) everybody. The suspects said (a) they were innocent (b) the drugs were for their sick puppy (c) "See you in 18 to 24 months."
