Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

... not to be confused with the Australian Cam Meyer also on Garmin ;-). Of course, there have to be the comparisons to hockey and the explanation of what a domestique does for the non-cycling readership - the writer makes it interesting. and a good quote:
"It is work without glory yet Meier finds romance in it. "For some reason as much as I admired the winners and champions I always had a deep respect for the domestiques. The guys who ride day in and day out and do the work and get bottles. They'll ride two or three of the Grand Tours a year. For me that held huge appeal. You always want to be a rider and a winner and a champion but I also enjoy being a domestique. I love riding at the front of a race.""

I hope he'll go to the Tour more often than poor Barry

His performance in this years vuelta could help on that front.

Thanks guidemd !

awesome article, thanks for the post.
Looking forward to the Vuelta now, I was in a nowhere land after the Tour, although Ryder’s 5th today at san Sebastien helped start to bring me out of my funk.

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.
