  1. Reports say Boyer is the fastest rider on the road right now, but his
    neck is starting to hurt. Shermer's neck, could stop him in his tracks.
    His crew is now getting the neck brace contraption ready, in case it's
    needed.

    Robic said he quit because he was coughing up blood. Blood running down
    my chin, it was a mess.

    Doug Brown, part of a 4 man team, hit a rumble strip on 35 mph descent
    and crashed, and sustained facial and shoulder injuries. His team is
    continuing without him.

    Did they at least pick him up off the tarmac first?

    Did they just leave him on the side of the road? Yes! Dang those FRAAM
    riders are cold motherfarkers!

    The mandatory time off the bike should work to his advantage. I hate the
    thought of him finishing with a crane head.

    It's those damn helmets, don't you know. They get a bit heavy after a
    couple thousand miles. You'd think they could come up with some preventive
    device, but Shermers neck is still kind of a mystery. No one cares, because
    rarely do people ride that distance anyway, in such a short time. The
    report said he was still in his aero position, he may have to sit up.

    Maybe he should get one of those raised stems (goofball stem) and tilt his
    handlebars up. Like you see on the bike path.

    It's been all down hill since the Skid Lid.

    The real bike path power position is low, flat and hammered, but pedalling bow
    legged to the knees don't hit the gut.

    Actually it's been downhill only for lawyers since the makers of useless
    SkidLid helmets got sued out of business.
