Features my teammate's brother supposedly. We have been bouncing txt messages and email all over trying to get a recorded copy. I am on vacation and my teammate is moving and has no cable.
His brother was telling him about it quite a while ago. Meatball BTW.

It was an excellent piece. Very captivating. I enjoyed it much morethan all the Lance footage we've seen so much of. I loved their director - so refreshing. They all seemed rather at ease and happy with themselves. A refreshing look at cycling. Two hours well spent watching

I think meatballs issue was his overall conditioning. With his shirt off he had some belly fat. He didn't look anyting like a pro. If I were his coach I'd get him on a winter conditioning program and get him some abs and looking more cut, then I'd work on his psyche; he was beat before he ever started the race.

The US picked him as #2 for the Olympic Team, so he must have a huge amount of talent. But his core body conditioning looked very poor, and his psyche was very fragile. If he was that good with those 2 issues, seems he could be coached and trained into a lean mean winning machine ! I liked him, seemed like a great guy. In fact I liked the whole team - they seemed so different....so refreshing and genuine compared to what I've seen of the other pro peleton teams.

He got, what, sixth in his event at the olympics? Not one person here could even come close to that, ripped abs or not...

I thought he got 16th. Regardless, he seems fragile.....but he knows how to have fun.

All of that was shot last year. He's been on pretty strict diets since then. Still an ongoing battle.
The man rode Flanders, Roubaix, Milan-San Remo, Het Volk, etc. this spring....I think he's allright.
He shared an email he got from Cavendish after a race this spring. From the tone he seems to be well liked in Europe. "DUDE!!! YOU WERE F'N GOOOOOOOOOOING!!!!"
Right now he is stateside. Looking to make some money. Can't wait.

well, there are no hills in track, so weight doesn't seem to be nearly as big an issue. It's hard to lose fat withough losing muscle mass too, so at that point after coming back to cycling, it may have been better for him to keep it rather than lose muscle too.

They had more footage of his wife than Danny.
And I wasn't saying anything negative about "Meatball" just that he looked atypical for a pro cyclist. Even the others competing against him for an Olympic spot looked like more typical cyclist physique than he did. I'm just sayin' losing a few pounds in the midsection would help and improve his performance, and improving his core strength would help, too. That and a pyschologist. He seems to have tons of talent and very likable, he just needs some more personal coaching IMHO. I was rootin' for him

same here about the meatball comment. he seems to be well liked around here and i feel the same. just making observations. although JV had some choice words about him during that scratch race.
