Since if have been MIA since the start of A Tour of France I thought I would blurt out a few sentence fragments about my thoughts on the pro road season since then. Here goes: -Schlecks need to learn to win -Cadel has the heart of a lion -Gilbert is a honey badger -Contador actually [...]
Oh man I just got done watching the coverage of today’s stage. So much good stuff today here are a few random observations: * Hincapie is a PRO’s PRO, that turn he did leading into the climb took a lot of piss out a lot of guys. * I think Horner needs to add Hushovd [...]
How many people can make Spartacus look silly in the last K of a race? Gilbert is on freaking fire right now. I don’t think this is the last stage he is going to win in this Tour. For me the surprise of the day was Cadel Evans, really solid finish from him. Hopefully a [...]
I think Heaven and Hell is a good description for the Giro. For the rabid cycling fan it is sweet sweet heaven. The Giro organizers understand the power of spectacle. Just watch Stages 7 and 8 again. You would never see that in A tour of France. I have said it once and I will [...]
I am pretty stoked that Sastre was able to hold off Cadel in the final TT. Cadel, man if you are gonna follow wheels the best you can hope for is 2nd. Ya I know his team sucked the big one but he should have been driving it for all he was worth on Alpe [...]
That was some showdown today ya? For someone who supposedly can’t climb Cancellara did a pretty good job of shelling most of the peloton. It was painful to watch, I can’t imagine what it would be like to follow that monster. Then to have Andy Schleck covering all the attacks after Sastre went away, it [...]
Yesterday I got to see some actual Tour de France coverage on the TV. Hot damn that was some stage yesterday. How many matches di Andy Schleck burn on that climb? CSC certainly has the numbers. Now they have the pressure of defending Yellow. Poor Cadel is going to learn to late that you can’t wear [...]
You know as much as I want to hate A Tour and write it off the racing is just too damn good. If you had asked yesterday who would win the TT today I would have said Cancellara without even blinking. Schumacher? Damn, would not have guessed that in a million years. Also looks like [...]
This past weekend here in the 801 we had our Mountainbike State Championships of The World. Yeah, I got worked. Still though, it is the first time my slack ass has raced in the dirt this year. So even as I was getting beaten down faster than the US dollar I was pretty happy about [...]
Brothers and Sisters please forgive my sloth. Things have been beyond hectic for me the last few weeks. TCOTBR does not support my fabulous lifestyle (buy some shirts!) so I have been spending a sinful amount of time at my day job and other assorted business ventures. Last week I was out of the country [...]
