  1. The weather was perfect for the 4th running of the T-Mobile Gran Prix in San
    Francisco. Most of the race was ridden with cool temperatures and I was
    wearing a Fassa Bortolo winter jacket and was comfortable until about 1:00
    pm when the high fog burned off and the temperature got up in the mid-70's.

    The race has three laps around the Embarcadero area where the laps are about
    1.3 miles. This sort of warms them up because they then go to the long laps
    which have a lot of rolling hills on them and include the really nasty
    Filmore hill with it's approximate 1/4 mile of 20% (OUCH). There is
    absolutely no doubt that something is going on with the Peloton these days.
    The first two versions of this race had at least half of the pack quartering
    the hill after two laps. This time I only saw one guy doing that and he was
    in the breakaway.

    Finally there are 5 5-mile laps that still include the Taylor Street hill
    but not the Filmore climb.

    About a 1/4 of the way into the race a 10 or so man breakaway formed that
    included 5 Healthnet riders and 3 Webcor riders. There was a Posty there as
    well but I didn't recognize him. This went on for most of the long laps.
    Then near the end of the long laps Jason McCartney (Health Net) broke away
    and pulled out a big lead in short order. There are so many hills on this
    course that a good climber and really get a big advantage rapidly unless the
    chase group is committed. And with so many Health Net riders in the chase no
    one else wanted to give them a break.

    Jason McCartney (Health Net) had a 2.5 minute lead when they went from the
    long laps to the short laps. A Domina rider was in between Jason and the
    peloton who was maybe 4 minutes behind with the 25 miles worth of laps (5)
    to go. The Domina rider disappeared rather abrubtly and I suspect he crashed
    since I caught sight of a Domina guy being treated by the ambulance guys on
    the Big Screen.

    About this time Postals with some help went to the front of the pack and
    started closing.

    With two laps to go Dionne dropped the hammer on Taylor climb and went by
    McCartney so fast that on the big screen I assumed that was Jason lapping
    one of the Health Net riders who was off the back.

    Fred Rodriquez reacted a little slowly but left the rest of the bunch behind
    and George won the sprint.

    If the Posties had started to close on the last long lap I think that George
    could have won it. With only a short interval to Jason I don't think that
    Dionne could have gotten away like that. But then, Fred has shown himself to
    be REALLY RAPID lately and surely Fred and George are America's best one-day
    riders.

    Loved to see Fred in the Red, White and Blue. Yeah FRED!!!

    McCartney's lead was HUGE, I had to do a double take to convince myself
    it wasn't him coming in to the finish circuit.

    The Domina rider was Valerio Agnoli and he still had a huge lead on the
    number 3 guy, also solo.

    This is a great race, and it'll always be the San Francisco Grand Prix.

    If LANCE can take a field sprint against the best US domestic riders
    then George ought to be able to do it as well.

    Michael Boogerd ought to race the US crit circuit, he'd clean up.

    As it should be. I see a major issue trying to convince SF (or any other
    big city) that "their" race is actually going to go by another name. The
    "San Francisco Grand Prix" does much more to enhance the idea that cycling
    is a good thing for the City by the Bay than anything that substitutes a
    corporate name for the city.

    The PCT (Pro Cycling Tour) organization is very short-sighted when they
    remove a city's name in favor of a corporate sponsor. We need the city to
    be proud of the race and have them hold it up to the world as one more thing
    that makes San Francisco great. But if you look at the PCT website, try to
    find it... it's under PCT RACES... as the T-Mobile International.

    Would it be so bad to call it the "T-Mobile San Francisco Grand Prix?"

    It was on the final lap, not the penultinate when McCartney was caught (awesome
    ride by him too, btw). Incidentally, KGO didn't really catch Dionne's attack,
    other than to show him blasting by McCartney about halfway up the last section
    of the Taylor climb. Dionne came out of a group of about 12, but Dionne's
    attack, and any response was not shown. Too bad.

    Rodriguez said there was something wrong with his leg: "I was pedaling with one
    leg." Also he was on a replacement bike (after a crash) with the saddle too
    low.

    Hincapie said he just didn't have it.

    Dionne said he looked in the mirror this morning and said "I am Charles Dionne,
    and I will win the T-Mob."

    Weirdly, Dionne had the same exact finishing time as Horner last year, that is
    if I can believe Ligget and KGO.

    What's up with the team1 / team2 attributes? Was there ever a combined

    Round IJsselmeer (o.d.f., o.d.w.)

    For the not-inaugurated, that abbreviation means "on the bicycle, over the
    way". It is a journey, cq. competition, before plow is been may join of
    roeiers and
    old-roeiers; everybody that once in a while member of a roeivereniging.
    And it was me it surely. Collect at 6 o'clock in the mornings
    in Amsterdam at the bone house of organizer Nereus. Bustle
    of interest on that early hour on the Amsteldijk, about it state about 200
    man
    to stamp to leave. There are 24 teams this year (maximum
    7 racers per team) with each an own next car, and there is also a pack
    for individual inschrijvers, and afvallers from the teams. The rough
    plan is follows as: 1) Amsterdam - The Bank (80 km) "and groupe
    ", 2) Afsluitdijk (30 km), individual course, 3) Zürich - Urk (75 km
    ) team time trial, 4) Urk - Almere Batter (70 km) team time trial, 5) Almere
    Batter - Muiden (10 km) couple time trial, 6) back to A' dam (15 km). With
    each other approximately 280 km.

    I come with the half of the team with the train of 5:10 hour (desire) from
    Utrecht. Get up round 10 furrow half 5 was extra heavily because I about it
    11 hour
    of the evenings behind came that I what forget was that per se off must for
    Saturday. A fancy 3 hour sleep consequently. Evenly awake
    to become, a bins cornflakes, a banana, a slice shower cake and a (imitation
    ) Reason Bull. In the train against am remembered and meug yet 500 g
    rice pudding removed, poeh. The fietsrit to the train had to look out even,
    in the
    gloomily with large bag on the back and 4 reserve wheel round my neck. From
    experience of the past years what on the spot later on is the
    Amsterdam/Ouderkerkse division of the team. Yet only tightly on time round
    half seven can they the bag in the next car throw and connect at the
    pack that then neat drives away. With 170 man in one large group the city
    an amusing experience is drive out; everything yields holds meanwhile you
    only connection.

    Through North Holland becomes there calm ridden but really are there always
    well
    a few valpartijen, of which 1 law for my nose that I miraculeus
    can avoid. Nobody hits wounded, one Tyler Hamilton-imitator must the
    broom vehicle in because its bicycle broken is. Especially calm the motto
    is
    ride remain see, and the largest zwalkers to avoid. A little bit spaces
    let is is no problem for the wind south-west, largely with. Yet
    such can "Counted Power" and a bidonnetje Hero fruit breakfast make that
    I everything before then the planned puddle pause of the bicycle must. By
    Medemblik, everybody may have just the woods in. Ten minutes pause yet a
    banana and 2 currant buns away to work, bidon fill up and laugh round
    it again that appalling turns out better than expected; yet no drop seen.

    On the beginning of the Afsluitdijk, it is set up join in front for
    everybody
    that will at the "Wild west course" round the of the same name sweater. At
    the
    ladies, the winner a Pink Hat gets. This has to make yet nothing with the
    team
    , counts in every case it not with for the klassement. Calm
    then also the motto is come along, and save for the time trial. With the
    kopgroep with well attractive for then you have is certainly a quarter
    extra pause at the other side. The laughing is decay
    us otherwise well, it comes suddenly with bins to below. A first sign that
    the team
    well strengthen is but that we not such good appointments made, am
    that we with its five in front ride (" We will really sparen?"😉 For
    myself, it falls yet to justify; we are are bow with and may join there
    there but 7 with the team time trial. For want of clear
    selection criteria (or -moments) before, we let the arriving on own
    initiative. If you think that you no good bones have, must you you only
    cancel. Although I myself not badly feel think I considering the two
    training that we jointly did that I a little less am then
    the average of the group, and racks myself then also not till the 7. Six
    weeks do not ride a bicycle around July (coach obligations with a
    bondsroeiploeg) have me naturally no good done. No matter how, I
    may go find full for own chances in the Wild west course I. That succeeds
    wheel good, mostly in 3e, 4e from the wind, well fairlyMany meegesprongen
    to discourage (I trust my sprint). Behind the last lock
    , it is yet 2 kilometers. A team measure jumps quite hard way, I know its
    hardrijcapaciteiten and see an end further down a line and a car
    .. Thinking that the that is go I with on the 53X12 (wind with go we
    approximately 60), dying in its wheel only yet well beside it by the line.
    That
    last one is yet but a halfslachtige attempt for actual know I already
    ; we are too early! Argh. Discouraged, and with sore bones, we
    are caught up with by the group, 500 m for the real finish. Again not the
    Unemployment Insurance Act-course sweater.

    In the wegrestaurant in Zürich consult we behind a head soup and an
    Extrannetje who there in the team goes., . Together with someone else that
    more
    mét then without kinderaanhanger, I offer ridden has at in the
    pack to go. We leave as first in the expectation that the
    teams (also the women) us surely in will get. That also so
    was to be been: in the pack, it is drive around with two to three fingers in
    the nose.
    I do but have many kopwerk, I the feeling that I do yet a little
    usefully. It Is become besides well well again, sunshine and a
    degree or 18. The ZW-wind has been encouraged well and slant
    now naturally against, except of in Gaasterland (a kind of Bermuda-triangle
    in Friesland
    ). Especially for Bert: in the pack rode a bicycle also an old-Nereïd with,
    of
    your age😉 he walked that around between '75 and '83 and has yet a
    year run done. He recognized your name direct ("Oh, yes
    , would not can ja."😉, but I know also its name not besides. Physician, and
    member of
    WTC De Amstel. Real coryfeeën as Stokvis/Luynenburg and known
    fietsers as Wesdorp were there not or sat in a next vehicle. But that
    were perhaps more of for your time.

    By the stopper in Urk, we were came in not yet so long then our team also.
    Total uitgewoond, with are celebrate (the time of the 4e man
    counts) and [censored] evenly. We stood them to me that yet soft drink and to
    to relax in the
    sunshine thus the contrast was them to me large. They were angry because
    the
    cooperation not good was. We were surplus started from the fact
    everybody well would know how it would go. Eén newcomer in the team
    felt not the atmosphere obviously so quite good at and mentioned of behind
    from
    wheel "calm, calm" (42 ipv. 45) meanwhile he then on head again
    47 wanted to ride. That do not works. An oudgediende that before in the
    year quite
    strong wash had burden of a ball (normally 1 of the 2, not a 3e) and reason
    also rather 41, 42. A flaw at appointments has seen to indecision for what
    , and thus stay and irritation. On a given
    moment its they really with its five driven on, of which there 1 just for
    Urk
    yet had to drop out, what on self a good tactics is as you with
    4 must finish. It became clear that 1 man no longer could and someone else
    no longer
    wild meefietsen in the 2e divide of the team time trial, consequently the
    pressure
    was large on us, the 2 from the pack, still on to hook. We
    not were them to me it it however over as soon as that a) actual
    reglementair is them to me
    (from the beginning join them to me, drop out, in the 2e again want to
    connect them to me may them to me
    well), b) mischien not so pleasant would be them to me with that amusing
    atmosphere with which
    they came in, and c) in every case banging hard renounce them to me would
    become them to me
    .. Anyway, when sat we with 1 man in the car, 3 in the pack and 5 in the
    team.

    I had in the pause all a bottle beer in my hands had, but again
    delivered then there 1 too little was for the group which I by chance there
    sat. Happy only, for the pack passed by again retelangzaam and then I
    in the climb on the kettle bridge😉 just escapes was, came neat my team
    , got I a touch on the buttocks and am really only aangehaakt
    .. It went actual quite good, I could excellent work and even
    was urged what more slowly to go in the first even turns that I did
    .. Although they naturally all a stage of
    75Yet not so much off as I self perhaps thought had. Were the
    supercompensatietrainingen of past week, and the many food of the
    last days, yet yet good started.

    Did the fate hit for the first time (or was the actual all the 2e keer..
    ?) closed after about 30 km. After a curve, the wind came of the others
    sharp and went
    the first man toLeft space for the fan to make. Somewhere
    in the back the group was there wieloverlap and perhaps an unexpected
    maneuver, and someone went against the ground. Eén of the stronger men in
    the team lay screaming of pain on the ground and we thought that the
    furrow him past was. The pale giant with; he actual
    nothing (and its bicycle also) had not to fall had been shot only alletwee
    its calves fully in the
    cramp. That was even later on again okay and we could again away. Someone
    else
    rijder (the 5e man in Urk) had meanwhile the bicycle of the
    man-with-the-ball from the car taken for that of him was kaputt gone in
    the fall. That pale later on really to not to work, a whole other stretch,
    and he
    is also gotten in. When was the team thus again with 5, but now with me
    .. Through the fall were we most likely rather stopped and in the view come
    from an achteropkomende plow, the later winners. That reason us what
    later on past. With us went the actual always again better and after we
    time on 20 meters had hung made we signs them
    back in am getting. There it went wrong really...

    On the moment that we to it next came hit their last man, that it yet
    on hang and strangle hung, from balance after he the wheel of its
    predecessor toucheerde. Or he now from us, or normally aside, I do not know
    looked
    been frightened. I know certain that we him not (firstly) hit and had not
    the idea that we them aside bustles. Only good, he fell and mowed with that
    3 of us also down. Our first man fell it most heavily, had rather a hole
    in its chin and also a bruised side of its face. That lay
    proper to moan. I drove direct behind him and tumbled there over
    ; broken elbow, planed hip and blow in my wheel. Behind me, the 3e fell
    , also what schaafplekken and a blow. After what improvised
    care in the shoulder appeared us the chin attach necessary to have and is
    the next car with him to the hospital ridden. After that all
    regular was and all wheels changed were, had we it well seen
    and decided the parcours further calm out to ride a bicycle. The pack was
    meanwhile also langsgeweest and our 2 man that were natural with us
    remain stand. Consequently with six, and again a new placing, through to
    Almere Batter. Quite slow really what want to have teams and the pack
    caught up with, but driven on never hard. The last piece on the bank
    even straight gelanterfant meanwhile 1 man ringing was. When we
    through the finish came: "Which team its you, which team? -Eh yes
    , Triton, but we are already fallen out hear." The time became yet well
    recorded.

    The last part is the couple time trial (this year new, formerly
    individually) to Muiden. I thought that we no longer with would do
    , but two man of the team stood suddenly really set up at the
    start line. That were the 2 strong Sten of that moment, that probably
    not completely by chance also upright remained were till that moment. They
    drove yet hard! and scored the 2e time on this part. Later on pale that
    the times of some teams clocked were not, consequently bred this
    part not with for the klassement. Unfortunately for us, otherwise we
    were become yet 4e. For, what on that, despite all our malheur we stood on
    the 5e place! Without valpartijen and other setback, a 2e had place
    sat in there certainly, 1e highlyest probably not. Misery, misery. Only
    good, everything hears with it by. Our team has gotten then yet the
    pechprijs
    , a small plaster on the wound. Over plaster, the
    man-with-the-chin there had been spoken prevent by the finish in A' dam and
    had over attention
    of the feminine public to complain not. I heard "sexy, that
    plaster". Odd girls, that roeisters. Of the beer, wine, paste and
    cigars, I consumed mainly the carbohydrate realm part, in
    fluid form. It Was again pleasant.
