@Marko @Harminator Absolutely on both. I think there are a lot of dazed and confused riders in London right now. Sort of a, “How did…wait…what?” in their minds. »
What in the world was Uran doing at the end? It’s like he decided to stop and listen to a bird or something. That’ll keep him up tonight I reckon. »

Anyone know why Sanchez waved his arm? Was it exasperation at where Cav came from, sort of a “How the…”, or was he mad about something? I didn’t catch it. Probably the former, as he and Roche looked like they were going about 7kph when Cav went around t… »

@Gianni Speaking of Hampsten, this morning I saw this old interview with him describing his insane ride in the ’88 Giro. Exaggeration or not, he paints an incredible picture. http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/05/news/from-the-pages-of-velo-hampstens-… »

@Steampunk No doubt. I love how Harmon just wouldn’t believe Kelly that the gap would come down 1:30 by the end of the stage, yet it was exactly that. »

@Steampunk Ha! I’m so interested in what tomorrow will bring. What if The Hesjehog dug so deep today that he totally pops tomorrow and loses several minutes? Then again, he might blow everyone out the back again. The race for pink is still on! So aweso… »
@sgt Yes…dinner-time flash of full twig and berries flopping in the Californian sun. The Mrs. and I got quite a kick out of it. And she thought the undies-only-wearing runners were crazy! »
I didn’t see the whole stage…didn’t realize Rabottini crashed earlier. Makes the win even more aVVesome! Couple of spectacular days of racing between the Giro and the ToC. Gesink’s blast up Mt. Baldy was impressive yesterday, too. I can’t imagine over… »
@motor city @Netraam I had my hands in the air for the last km saying, “C’mon! C’mon!” I wonder what delirium he was feeling during those last 3 or 4 km. He almost fell over at the finish line. So awesome and inspiring. »
That guy who bunny hopped Cav…wow! And the one who scooted right around his head. Amazing handling! »

@eightzero Wisdom. Up until last week when I renewed my lease with contacts, I’ve been an exclusively glasses-wearing geek due to my legally blind myopia. The cycling cap ended up being my favorite piece of kit I owned for 2.5 reasons that work together:… »

@grumbledook Monetary expenditures: 1) Rent/bills, 2) Food, 3) Music equipment (my job), 4) Misc cycling. I’ll have to switch #4 w/#1. One always needs food to continue laying down some V, afterall. All joking aside, nice ride! »
@grumbledook That Seven’s sexiness is making me have to completely rethink my strategy on life. Good on ya’, grumbledooooooook! »
@Jeff in PetroMetro I had the ol’ going-to-the-shop-for-the-same-thing-more-than-once-because-of-different-sizing-standards-of-components thing going on, as well. My first thought was that it has something to do with building a trusty steel’d with 25 yea… »

Great article. I’m consistently amazed at the differences in car-bicycle relational dynamics depending on which part of town I’m riding in. I commute 32km roundtrip, and the commute takes me from a suburb to a part of the city in which many young, hip fam… »

@scaler911 Look at that…alright! Thanks, scaler! I’ll get ahold of him and see if I can find the specific decals. That’ll free me up. I’m with @frank about keeping the badging on a frame if possible. I can repaint and rebadge; glorious, glorious. »
@Marko @Minion @Jeff in PetroMetro @frank Thanks for the input, all. I’ve just sort of puttered around on the Bianchi since I got. I did a serious ride on the Cannondale again last night, and even after the short stints on the Bianchi, it has to be my ne… »

@Cyclops RE: Robert Paganini What at awesome history that man can tell!! Wow! »

Alright! Just scored this Bianchi on Craigslist for $130. Columbus tubing, made in Italy, Ambrosia wheelset, Suntour 7000 shifters/derailleurs, Modolo brakes, aluminum classic-bend bars (excellent!). The paint’s not in great shape in some spots, but the… »

Earnest’s post-race interview from www.whoisfullofhimself.com/velo/earnest-on-his-5th-place: “I’m glad to have taken a minor place on my rookie VSP. SO many thanks have to go to my teammates for all their efforts this VSPTdF. They’ve worked so hard all … »
@frank Chrome messenger bag (Citizen, I think…) here for 3 or 4 years of commuting in Ohio. I’ve tried backpacks w/chest straps for stabilization, but I’ve always ended up coming back to the messenger back for stability and comfort. Laptop, notebook, u… »
