Don't worry, he may be better suited to your B-Team.

Or does he get the sack from that too?

No, I'll definitely keep him for that.

There’s only one positive that will keep you off that team, and that wasn’t it.

Head's Up Ya'll

Tonight, starting at 7:00 eastern time, I’ll being choosing my Tour Only VDS team, live! I will be using airtight scientific methods fueled by beer and cheese. As part of the “science”, I’ll need your help!

Details about what I will be doing will be posted soon.

Actually...

I prefer calling him The Gimp. But, for tonight, based on your suggestion, I shall treat him as my lab rat.

by Megabeth on Jul 2, 2009 2:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

My method...

I’m not choosing any riders I don’t like just because they’re good. That, and no Astanii. We shall see how badly I do.

Bummed that i lost internet connection more times than the commentator said Lance

Which meant i couldn’t interact with you guys, but thanks to Eurosport for letting it over run and NOT cutting it off. Poor Alberto, fabulous eye shots though to console us ;)

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
