Dude,

Check your calendar. Notice anything…Special?..About the date?

Don’t feel too bad, I’ve been burned myself. But it’s good fun after that.

Velo-News is infamous for their April Fool’s stories. Pretty amusing. You’re not the first to get bitten. Several years ago VN ran a piece about Eddy Mercx making a comeback. ABC Sports reported it as fact during the Coors Classic coverage.
