Velominatus: Buck Rogers
Order: Winner of the Velominati Super Prestige Women's Ronde van Vlaanderen
Started road racing in 1987 in VT. Raced through college at UVM and then fell away from the true path and started running. Have been back now for about five years. Currently riding a 2007 Eddy Merkcx Premium SL with 2009 Dura-Ace STI groupo, Mavic Premium SL wheelset, Selle San Marco saddle and Cinelli stem and handlebars, a dream of a bike for me. Recently acquired a 1992 Team Motorola Eddy Merckx with all circa 1992 componentry. she has quickly become Bike #2. Also have a Lemond Poprad CX for bike #3. Still looking for bike #4 (i.e. n+1).

@scaler911 I remember some article somewhere (how’s that for a reference) speaking to this and how pro cyclists are always walking a razors edge between being absolutely as thin as possible bordering on malnourished secondary to extertion and lifestyle… »

@ChrisO I agree that the tdf outcome would have been an unknown but I totally think that Froome did sacrifice a Vuelta win. He had that one in the bag and Sky blew that call. »
@xyxax Nah, I think that his mentrual cycle was just a bit too heavy this month and that is why he withdrew. »
@Chris Whew! Thanks man, I appreciate it. Definitely worth doing a little HGH and EPO to get free swaps! »
@wiscot Oh yeah, this has been brewing for months now and this just brings it to a head. Expect awesome fireworks come July! »
@Chris Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw, 40% of my VSP jumped ship while I slept last night. Should have known better than go to sleep! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRTeguVdC8o »
@Chris Ahh, so much for cyclingnews’ live ticker. »
@Patrick Agree on both points. »
Damn! Today’s stage is turning out to be a real nail biter. Suppsodely Duran Duran is not with the Nibali group either! Sky is imploding on the road. »
@strathlubnaig Definitely makes July a lot more interesting for Sky, no doubt! Do not think that FroomeDog will be too pleased as Wiggo will be out for a solid result in July now. »
@strathlubnaig Hell, I’m not beating on him, just amazed that he is off the back on today’s stage and now all of his team have left him on the road. I do wonder if he’ll pack it in tonight? »
Shit! Wiggo off the back again. Will he drop out tonight, I wonder? »
@LA Dave Wow! Awesome vids! Worthy of a permanent tag to revisit for sure. »
@LA Dave Reminds me of the movie Bottle Rocket and the line “They’ll never catch me” by Owen Wilson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QihI3ORsFn0 Long ass clip but skip to 2:00 for the line. Just classic and I can just imagine Jensie saying this. »

@Mirko In consultation with your professional bike fitter or risk permanent nerve damage. Just saying. »

@frank Yeah, fooock me for being cynical but, specifically for all of you that have been following the sport since the ’80′s like me (or before like some of you) do any of you get the feeling like we are post-Festina or post-Operation Puerto all over ag… »
@Chris Wow! So many levels of rightness and tongue-in-cheek in this post. The site was on rare form yesterday. Chapeau! »
@wiscot Damn! This just gets better and better!!! Perfect segueway! Frank, we need the Joey video! »
@ped Cool. I love the honour and protocol in cycling. I will need to watch that. »
@Mikael Liddy I think that they are saying Gesink was over four minutes down. »
@strathlubnaig Really hard to believe with the time bonuses and all but maybe he did. Hopefully not another Panani/COTHO Ventoux bit. »
