I raced today. It was 73° and sunny.

I raced in shorts and short sleeves for the first time this year.

That is all.

Sounds a lot like what the pros have been saying about the weather thus far.

What no hangover? I must know more of this Van Der Moser. I need a nemesis like this to battle in my upcoming race.

he's not so much a nemesis, but an occasional partner in crime.

Partner as in, say, "The Sting" or more like "A Fish Called Wanda"?

Back to Roubaix...

Either der Moser believes you are a better rider in the rain or you are both hoping for bad weather so you can get a break in committing your cycling crimes...
