"New Brunswicker is cycling the world" (local media interview with Christian Meier of Garmin)
... 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.
