The TT that afternoon he posted the 4th fasted time of any cat, only getting beat by 2 pro's and Racer Ex. Sunday stage 3 he dropped his chain at the base of the climb, calmly got off his bike fixed it and then caught and dropped us again. I felt crushed.
No disrespect at all, but when I read that, the mental image made me laugh out loud!
There are just freaks on bikes out there. None of them happened to be named SushiJoe, however.
Great example of soul crushing.
Mine happens to be when I ride with a buddy of mine. One ride, I had about 1,300 miles for the year and I think he had 200. He rode me off his wheel at will throughout the ride. Humbling.
