It's our end-of-year special in which I check in... with a song. Come on by! Show starts at 8:30pm Eastern. [Lyrics revealed later on the flip -- and apologies to Julie Andrews.]
Raindrops on white roads and whiskers on Zabriskie
Hard work on the front and attacks that seem risky
Saxo chains suddenly jumping chainrings
These were a few of my favorite things.
Sadly, there's more...
Riding up the Muur and Boonen in trouble
Attacking from distance and doing the double
Hoisting the cobble that victory brings
These were a few of my favorite things
When the crash hits
When the tire splits
When the season lags
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Evans in Tuscany mud head to heel
Gilbert in Toledo with a new sword of steel
Breschel is gasping while Thor Hushovd sings
These were a few of my favorite things
Basso in panic at Arroyo descending
Shleck and Contador and suspenseful endings
Nibali sprouting a new pair of wings
These were a few of my favorite things
Anton’s heartache
Farrar’s wrist break
Sometimes cycling’s sad
But 2011 is in a few weeks
and now I don’t feel so bad.
