Half of that is standard Bike Racing Agnst. It's a tough sport and it can piss you off.

The flip side of days like today are days when all the cogs mesh and the team delivers. If g didn't love racing, he wouldn't do it 50-60 times a season. I'm also not sure any team on this level is consistently more reliable and cohesive more than ours. We have our days. g is certainly the fastest guy in that peloton, but there are some serious Human Lungs that attack in those races, and g won't make every break. We have solid VO2 Max firepower on our squad, we should have enough to bring a 3 man 20 second break back into line. I'd be frustrated with a day like today if I were him too.
