If what I'm hearing is correct and I make no guarantees, next year you might be asking Horner why he didn't bring you any jeans.

If I could ask a pro cyclist a question, I would ask a few:

When you are home, why are you always late to local races?
Why do you always call my house so late, don't you know I have to get up and go to work before I train?
Don't you have to get up early and take the kids to school?
Are you going to get me in the VIP at the Sinclair party at Interbike again this year?
Actually, I have already asked those questions.

I think PCad's theory is correct about salaries, but there are a few guys who make a lot more than you would expect when compared to others.

Yeah, I was a little surprised to see McCarty riding a PowerTap. Maybe Saris is a Slipstream sponsor. Either way, it doesn't seem to be holding him back.

I'd ask them at what point they knew they wanted to make a living on the bike, or how they knew that's what they wanted to do.

Saris is a Slipstream sponsor. Although Vaughters was an early supporter of the SRM, Saris is a Slipstream sponsor.

I got to ride with GH a couple weeks after his TdF stage win. I asked him what gear he was climbing in up the Pla-d'Adet. Was that a good question?
