Frankie's Diary

I've been reminiscing about previous tours, so for those jonesin' for the
Tour, here's some good long engaging chat from an insider:

Apologies to those that already have seen this site. Frankie Andreu was a
pretty good bike racer, and is now one of the OLN commentators.

I'll always remember him for coming 2nd twice in the Tour de France:
Bordeaux
1992 and Paris 1994.

Hmmm, answering my own troll, how embarassing. It was Bordeaux 1993.

I respect the guy's knowledge, but he could sure use some "standing in
front of the camera" classes. The reportage of the Sea Otter Classic
this year was almost painful.

He was standing next to me and we had a short conversation. I gotta tell
you - the Sea Otter races were so painfully unprofessional that Frankie was
probably embarassed to even be associated with them in any capacity. I won't
be returning to them. I've put up with the immense stupidity from the
promoter for 5 years now and I've finally had enough. It doesn't improve -
it just gets worse every year.

LUCKILY The San Francisco GP has nailed a three year sponsorship and
apparently gotten everything ironed out with SF city counsel so that we'll
see that much better organized event.

No kidding. OLN had to bring in Craig Hummer to do interviews at the Tour
this year. But, the technical segments he did for OLN were quite good.

Craig Hummer asked very well thought-out questions during Le Tour. His
internet sports show has promise, but he's gotta learn some microphone
technique (hey Craig, back off the mike a bit) .
