You're invited!
This Wednesday, 31 March, we will have a live chat with Dominique Rollin of Cervélo TestTeam. Yay! The chat will take place at 7pm European time, which is 10am PDT, 1pm EDT. (Phew, math is hard.) Come on by and join the fun!
Not familiar with Dominique Rollin? He's from Québec, and he loves cobbles. Rollin is racing his second season with Cervélo after a successful 2008 season with Toyota-United here in the United States. His big win came during stage 4 of the 2008 Tour of California, in which Rollin rode away solo on a wet, windy day on the Central Coast. Remember that one? It was the stage down Highway 1, headwinds all the way, seven hours of racing. Crazy day, really. Little wonder that Rollin has turned out to be a rider for the Northern Classics.
Last season he finished third at the Scheldeprijs Vlaanderen and fifth at the Ronde van Drenthe. After a succesful spring, the Québecois missed a big chunk of last season to illness. This season, he's looking for his first pro win in Europe and hoping to ride well at the World Championship in Melbourne. Check out Rollin's Facebook page for more infos. Or, prep with this interview from Lyne at Podium Insight.
As always, if you are not currently a member of the Cafe, you'll need a username to join the chat. Head over to our registration page, and get yourself signed up. You will need a valid email address to register. We promise we won't do anything nefarious with your email address.
Look forward to seeing everyone here on Wednesday!

Shut up!
Er, in the Valley girl sense, not the Lebowski sense.
Now more than ever I wish I was better at coming up with at least semi-interesting questions.
Like for sure, no way
I had exactly that thought this morning – I wish I was better at coming up with semi-interesting questions – when a team media rep emailed me this morning about an interview for this week.
"Are you afraid of cows?"
That question made a Swedish man famous. In the 80s.

"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."

"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
and no doubt his answer would be
why waste time and energy cooking it. Just chew harder.
Brutal day at AToC '08
I spent the whole day in the freezing rain w/ that breakaway.
35-45 degrees, longest stage of the race 135mi, and brutally gusty headwinds all day.
the body count was high, a dozen into the cars or ambulances w/ hypothermia.
Dom was in his element.
He did more than his share of the work too, while the break numbered 12-15 guys.
He wasn’t wearing much, maybe some gloves and armwarmers. Tough
One by one they fell off his wheel. Hincapie chased w/ another guy for the last 15k and Dom increased his gap over some nasty finishing hills.
I was frozen solid.

Central Cali
The weather gets crazy there, not ezactly palm trees and movie starz up that way. Those storms just slammed into the coast. That was a gnarly day of racing.
Those of you not from California
who think it’s all “Baywatch” and “CHiPs” episodes out here, and who have not visited San Francisco on vacation in the “summer” and who now own a $15 fleece jacket with “Alcatraz” printed on it, that day was an example of the nastiness that winter in Northern/Central California can be. 135 miles with the vast Pacific ocean on their right, absolutely no shelter, while getting pounded by winter rain and wind the entire time. Seriously hard core. Dom is etched into my memory for that day alone. I’m sure it helped that the guy is the size of a moose (in a fit cyclist sense). Looking forward to this one.
Well, he is from Québec.
I shivered me timbers camping in Québec a few years ago. In July. I survived, only to get devoured by the swarms of mosquitos. Lovely landscapes, though!
Ah, the July mosquitos...
But June is even worse. I’ve got a friend who once said “we don’t have mosquitos, we have birds that sting”
Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill (F. Coppi)
That was an epic stage.
And it’s why I have mixed feelings about the ToC moving to May. Seemed like it was on its way to acquiring a reputaton for really appalling conditions (remember the stage to Santa Rosa where the weather knocked out the race radios?), which would have been an interesting identity for a California race. “The Hell of the Pacific,” something like that.
But I imagine very few of the guys who actually ride the race are sorry about the move.
Cycling will always be a beautiful sport no matter how many people disgrace it.--Christian Vande Velde
lol, yeah
It’s hard to convince the European teams to travel halfway across the planet to race in conditions they can find in Northern Europe ;-)
They changed the date
because the organizers wanted better weather and they wanted to be able to use higher elevation climbs. You really can’t go to Big Bear in February – at least, not for a road race ;-)
and they've wasted the date change imo... where are the mtfs i ask you. where?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
They Changed The Date...
…because the ASO told them to change the date. Nothing more than that. The move has effectively “stolen” a bunch of talented riders from participating in the Giro d’Italia.

AHHHHHH!!!...So...freaking...excited.
Please hurry up time…pretty please. He is on my short list of favorite pro riders because he was able to make the leap from American crit racing to where he is now. Total hardman.
I am sure if he was Flemish, he would eventually be called Dommeke.
Hopefully his 1700 hundred watt sprint won’t be restricted for too much longer and he will be able to get his first breakthrough win. Scheldeprijs anybody?

Good timing
with the extra opportunities unfortunately created by Haussler’s injury, he might be able to get a nice result really soon.
He used to have a pretty nice mullet (which I personally wish I could grow one like it) going in his Toyota days...

also, the team tested various tires on the cobbles a while back.

i might add
that besides his massive power output, complete superiority over whatever mother nature might throw at him, and ability to make the ladies swoon, Dom is a super nice guy, very approachable, and does not act like all the previously mentioned attributes have gone to his head.
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
Coolio
I saw Dom take a sprint win next door in Walterboro, SC as part of the USA crit series a few years ago. Massively powerful looking rider he is. I could have taken him at the finish, but the rest of my team pulled out of the race and was under the tent drinking beer when I came by suffering like a dog to hang on so I pulled out a couple laps later to have a cold one myself and watch the finish.
I don’t know who is on the front driving those frigging races, but we were doing 40+ on the long backstretch every lap. Pancake flat course w/ no wind. And guys attack off the front… how? Anyway, it is so cool to see him in a Cervelo kit riding, not only with the big boys, but as one of them.

As much as my eyes are vomiting by looking at that...
I LOVED the team bike that they have; the green, yellow and red Merckx. I have jonesing for one really bad and have wanted to get one since then. I still think it was an awesome bike.
Another side note is that he was on the VC Roubaix amateur team back in the day that Cyrille Giumard had a hand in so there was talent there the whole time.

This is what happen when your team only have the budget to provide you with just a few jerseys and knee warmers. The knees where ment to match with my national champ jersey and well that day was raining at the start so a white pair of short were not recommanded. So here’s the match… but if you guys look further in to old pictures available online, I’ve done worst, hopefully the evidences have vanished in to nature.

This applies to “field” hockey, “floor” hockey, “Roller” hockey, etc.
There is only one hockey, and its played on ice.

You realize that it is called Ice-Hockey in every major int. competition right?
