The Things We Did Last Week

Mario Cipollini toga. Photo: Doug Pensinger/Getty. Last week, we did some things.

We received absolution.

We laughed at The Onion.

We retired again.

We started over.

We had scorching romance at the Tour de France.

We heard a press conference.

We hit 50%.

We went to a magic single track island with Sue Butler.

We made the hard decisions with Horizon DS Stef Wyman.

We won our first bike race with John Degenkolb.

We got stuck in the gutter.

We tried really hard to finish our VDS and WVDS teams.

Cipollini

in one of his many, many costumes. There was a Cipo toga party in the Freya North interview. How lucky was I that Getty had that shot? Very very lucky. Made my day, in fact.

But isn't that

the sort of image that crayons were made for? I wonder if Ken comes with a toga?

Ha ha, I'd like to see a toga Barbie :)

Sadly, Monday morning did not allow enough time for playing crayons. Maybe if people quit filing my inbox with ping! ;)

ok that makes sense…because when I first saw it I thought it was Gilbert! I was thinking, what the Algarve people made him dress up in that? Why? Then I noticed the kit and the logo on the gloves, and thought, yeah, probably not ;)

Oh Mario

Why don’t you un-retire again, just for a little bit?

Nothing is impossible when you work for the circus.
