Ridiculous.
Smart as hell too.
Studying for his MD or something. And he looks like he ought to be a gymnast, not a cyclist. Freakin built. It's guys like him and Wollmann (who's an MD already) that make me question what I've done with my life. lol.

Oh you *******
btw Haas didn't want to work with Slokar, so I think Slokar had to do all the pulling. Haas had suggested everyone work together to get Prensky and Peppo, but Slokar turned him down (because he's friends with Prensky, and Peppo is his teammate). Slokar attacked a few laps later. Haas decided to sit on his wheel after that.
With a bit to go Slokar asked Haas "You sprinting?". Haas didn't reply. So Slokar knew. He was probably thinking "Oh you *******".
Yeah, I was way in trouble at the beginning.
