“I’ve got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.” Groucho Marx"Duck Soup" Roberto Gaggioli is out for the season, I hear. No worries. He should be able to find suitable temporary employment while he’s serving his suspension — say, as a debt collector for a New Jersey loan shark, a job in which going after someone with a club is all part of the day’s work. As all gossip-loving leg-shavers should know by now, thanks to the rumor mill, our own Neal Rogers and USA Cycling, the Monex rider-director is said to have armed himself with a 2-by-4 for a chat with Jonny Sundt

I can’t stand it. The suspense is killing me. No, I’m not talking about the recent verdict on Monex team rider-director Roberto Gaggioli’s appeal hearing with USA Cycling, held Friday, May 28. (More on that below, but for those with short attention spans, Gaggioli was suspended through the end of the 2004 season for assaulting Jittery Joe’s rider Jonny Sundt with a 2x4.)
