Astana's Bike's being Stolen > A HOAX

"You know what grinds my gears" - Peter Griffin
It's just my little epiphany today. I am thinking that the whole Astana stolen bikes thing including Lance's TT bike, was a complete and utter poor attempt at some needed promotions to the Trek Brand. That's right, I JUST said it, it JUST happened.

Their sales must really be suffering to pull that stunt. I think their bikes are over priced along with their overpriced Bontrager stuff. Under that umbrella is the Gary Fisher brand, which I do like, but again some of this Trek/bonty stuff is like Bose', just way way over priced and over hyped for what it is, still bike parts.

I might equate it to some up and coming movie star or musician or band making a big scene at a concert, or premiere just to get their faces plastered on some news publication or TMZ.
I thought about it for a few days, actually, wondering if I was just being Mr. conspiracy theory or not. But, now, I say it was bullcrap and they did it for the team name, they did it to promote and get more attention focused at Lance and the Astana team. Lance is an attention hound, I find it pretty gross actually. Why else would the guy update his twitter page every 30 seconds, allow so many interviews during the Tour of California and the last few months. I don't think he could stand the lack of attention during his retirement, hence bringing him out of retirement. ick.
Wow, the bikes just showed up a day later - how weird, how did that happen.
What did you say? Lance's TT bike showed up at the policia station down the road from the race? crazy you say, that is crazy talk man! No it didn't. How could it, those "thieves" took it from our unmarked trailer that was attached to the large $100,000 tour bus with Astana right on the side? how could anyone have known what was in that trailer?
best part, all the magazines, newspapers, press, media and websites all bought it.
What's next?
