Quote of the day:

"I'm learning how to win at these races," says Hincapie, who lives in Greenville, S.C. "It's not just speed, it's knowing when to attack and having teammates with me near the end of the race."

What?! A major news network writing something about cycling?!

Whoa.

Wrong as usual duma##:

THIS is the quote of the day:

"
"George is a nice guy, no doubt," Armstrong says. "He's learned that he can be a gentleman and still have a killer instinct. Me, I'm the opposite. I'm a jerk who has to work at being a gentleman. I've always loved to put the hurt on people."

he he 🙂

A bit late with 32... 🙄

I really hope Hincapie can beat Boonen at the Paris-Roubaix, Boonen needs to be knocked down a peg or two. Plus, after all those years of diligent service for LA, he deserves a few wins of his own.

It's the American Press, they have no idea what cycling is really like...

And it frustrates me so much.

Actually Sal Ruibal writes almost exclusively about cycling, has done some work for Cycle Sport and Velo News. This weekend he will have to choose.... Sea Otter Classic or the Paris Roubaix. Actually, is there such thing as "Almost Exclusively"? Is that like a "Near Miss".😄

I thought the piece was good, I just think GH needs to be more "Uber-Bronks Brash" though.

Sal Ruibal, if he does write mostly write about cycling, ought to know that P-R is not called the Hell of the North b/c of the cobbles...

And for 7 years in the TDF he did just that. What I find amazing is how Boonen has been talking trash and he has accomplished some things, but when Lance does it everyone is all over it. And when Indurain said nothing at all the press called him "boring." Champions win on the bike but rarely win in the press.

I know, he should have known it was in Salt Lake City on April the 1st. 😄

A good article for Joe Public : but for the cycling afficianados here, there's not much in there that we didn't already know about.

But thanks for the link!

It has something to do with the course traveling along WWI (WWII) battle lines? Correct ?
