I liked this from todays main report on cyclingnews.
Moments after overnight leader Cyril Dessel crossed the line with a desperate lunge, 4'45 behind the first trio, the 30 year-old Phonak leader from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, swung his head around to the leaderboard, and a pat on the back from team doctor Denise Demir said it all. |
Landis is a Menonite correct? which is basicly Ahmish light. how does one get away with using power meters, carbon fiber, hear rate montiors etc like that? i would guess that hes obviously not practicing any more?
|
He's been shunned. No 6 wives for him with 25 kids that all look identical!!
|
damn, with that new hip i bet hed be awsome to have around while erecting a barn .....

Mennonite's will use modern technology, but will only drive black cars with blacked out chrome. Chrome is too prideful apparently.
If Floyd was actively mennonite, he would have to ride a black bike with no shiny bling, black shorts, black helmet etc. Sponsors would hate him :p |

A silver cleat bolt and nut looks good enough. Bicycle Recycle might have one: 9555 8692. Usually $75 for 2nd hand Dura-Ace, and maybe around $50 for Ultegra |

You are right, courtesy & respect would probably be enuff for the ATB, but in all seriousness some bunch skills would be highly useful in ATB because if you have them it might help you avoid problems caused by others around you who don't.

Anyone else notice the green jersey lads still fighting hard on the climbing stages? First up it was Zabel picking up a crafty 7 points on stage 10, then yesterday Robbie snuck in on the first intermediate sprint to snaffle 6 points. I think Robbie might have a bit of respect for the old man after what happened a few years ago :)

Prediction for tonights stage anyone? Hard to tell... sprinters will have lead legs after yesterday, climbers won't be interested. I'm guessing accidental breakaway by some random klutz who's legs are still fresh. Maybe even Stu. Or not.
