Morning!
I’m racing the Elgin Road Race next week, and then also Downer’s Grove and Elk Grove. Plus, the Soldier Field crits have been a blast. Not bad for Wednesday night racing in the city.
Awesome! I'm working EGV so I'll see you there for sure.
I’ve heard great things about Soldiers. Guys really seem to like it. I’m working the two Champaign races next weekend so no local Superweek for me. :-( Hans Dekkers and Ricardo Van Der Velde will be here for the two weeks. :-)
I love C, not because he rocks as a cyclist, but because deep down he's a band geek! LOL!
Thank you, Justin.TV
Got a better feed of the stage there (as in, with commentary) than the Versus site.
This is my premptive Bob Roll strike
I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.
British Euro have Cervelo's Dan Lloyd in the commentary box
Cool!

ok that's just stupid
the thing they say about Davis not in the team because of his nationality….damn stupid
I thought it was remarkably perceptive
of them, to have noticed that Alby isn’t Belgian ;-)
Love this quote from Jens!
in today’s NY Times article about the fight for Astana team leadership:
The biggest drama of sport is when one guy is suffering, and the other guy sees it as the perfect time to attack," Voigt said. "What are you going to say, ‘Oh look at that poor guy, I’m going to take it easy on him and be nice to him?’ No, you hit him when he’s down. In cycling, you attack."
Screen Shots! Oh how I've missed you. :-)

Hey Monty!
I’ve been kept away from here for a few weeks. All is good this morning though!
I love C, not because he rocks as a cyclist, but because deep down he's a band geek! LOL!
Weekend off!
So happy too. Road trip last weekend for state and road trip working next weekend. Two days downstate but I’ve got company so it should be fun!
I love C, not because he rocks as a cyclist, but because deep down he's a band geek! LOL!
and a Skil Shimano bike, yes?
Seems a bit of work, but this household is participating in the team comp. Anyone else?
Well start the commentary how you intend to go along i guess...
