Brets correct, Bart is no slouch as his long list of results will attest. As an engineer he's always testing the latest technology such as the LUST shoes which are on the feet of many cyclists, pros included. Most of you will remember the Pro Cycling article about Vaughter's pair of LUST shoes. And unknownst to most people, Cipo almost had several pairs with Specialized logos created.

Dorky, perhaps, but... it's a heck of a TT bike. The sound it makes scares the hell out of his competition and really blows your concentration if you hear him coming up behind you.

It should be oxymoronic in English too. Being 'masterful' at something implies excellence, not age.
Some old ego-meister way back when must've coined that term - to describe the class of racer who considers himself too old to compete at his best level.
They should switch the 'Seniors' and 'Masters' labels.
'Senior' denotes old people. 'Masters' denotes competence.
So what can we do? Add the word 'Fattie' to the back of 'Master' to bring it all back into perspective.
Ok, but why is the word "Fattie" necesarry. I don't think pro-cyclists are fat. (except for Jan Ullrich in January). Or is "fattie" used to show the difference in physique between riders of the classics and the light riders of the 1 week and 3 weeks tours?

Kenny, in our screwy system, the "Masters" are us old, fat guys, hence the psueo-suffix/descriptor/qualifier/de-egoizer.
