First UCI Pro Tour leader's jersey

[Robert Chung]

From today's L'Equipe:
"... le president de l'UCI, Hein Verbruggen, a remis symboliquement hier a
Lance Armstrong le premier exemplaire du maillot de leader du Pro Tour."

Hmmm.

If Cunego were riding the first Pro Tour event, he'd probably have the
"honor" of wearing the first Pro Tour leader's jersey.

but Cunego just finished third place in Murcia (Spain), which ended as
the prologue was happening in France.

He slipped his chain on the final climb but almost caught the leaders before
the stage finish yesterday. Time to take a cue from Marco and put a chain
watcher on his machine.

There were riders there today who either had more UCI points in 2004, or
more World Cup points in 2004, or both.

You're thinking like a member of the reality-based community again.
Hein is a self-appointed visionary. He isn't describing reality,
he's creating it.

Hmmm. Is this the kind of reality you think he's creating?

And that's of course why he is the right man on the right place. The reason
why bicycle racing has become so popular is that it has always been based on
creating reality.
