This will be the first post-Tour event in the series and with the unpredictability of how riders are recovering, it makes this race a tough one to predic… Continue reading
Ultimate Indulgence: The Simplicity of Pain by frank / Jul 27 2010 / 31 posts It’s a good question, this: who in their right mind would willfully hurt themselves doing something they “enjoy”? I’m guessing psychologists have a word for this type of behavior, and I’m not afraid to assume it’s not a flattering one. Indeed, we are all of… Continue reading
The Big Engine that Just Might by frank / Jul 26 2010 / 15 posts I think the last time I cheered for the guy who won the Tour de France must have been Greg LeMond in 1990. Although he would later become one of my favorite riders ever, I didn’t cheer for Jan Ullrich in 1997 because wasn’t cool enough yet. I didn’t cheer for another eternal… Continue reading
Velominati Super Prestige: Tour de France Stage 19 by frank / Jul 23 2010 / 31 posts Looking back on this year’s Tour, it occurs to me it’s been one of the best Tours I’ve seen. The 2003 Tour will forever go down as my favorite, but mostly because we were there that year, my boy Jan Ullrich nearly won, and I got to sit on Ullrich’s TT bike right before… Continue reading

by frank / Aug 23 2009 / 11 posts I am a nod snob. The fact is, I’m a bit of a cycling snob all-around. I am not a “biker” and I do not “like to bike”. I am a cyclist and I like to ride. What’s more, as I outlined before, there are very loosely defined parameters under which I will be… Continue reading
The Col-onisation of THE RULES by Brett / Jun 26 2010 / 12 posts There has been unprecedented and unexpected interest and discussion on this blog since the first mention of ‘The Rules’. From that very first post, a name that has been oft-mentioned is that of the mysterious Johnny Klink. A good mate of mine since the late 90s when we first met… Continue reading
Tour Organizers: Follow the Giro’s Lead by frank / Jul 14 2009 / 2 posts In response to criticism that the Tour de France is too predictable and uninteresting, the organizers of the Tour have taken a novel approach to designing this year’s route: make the route suck so much that the biggest source of discussion and suspense about the race is who is the real le… Continue reading

Greatest line since the infamous Kobe comments – “there is no I in team but there is an m & an e”.
How can we make this go viral?
I don’t know how… if only there was some sort of ‘web’, that was world-wide…a type of ‘net’, that was international. hmmm, think I’ve got an idea!
Grrrrr. I’m sick with jealousy that I didn’t come up with that line. Brett is a genius. That’s why he is a professional and I am not. It’s beautiful.
Yeah, and wait ’til he realizes there is an “I” in “Team Radioshack”. Then what?
I thought it was “Team RadioShaq”…
Now ,that would be a team.Shaq leading out ,and Kobe jumping over everybody,getting ready for the ‘poster’ shot
