What do you reckon that this dude isn’t in the best of graces with the German cycling community right now?

Sure… there’s been other recent poss-o’s.

Sure… there’s also been other recent confessions.

But this dude was the straw that broke the camels back and now thousands of German cycling fans are without the Tour on television. I bet his fan base took a hit on that one.

Also… on a lighter note… something for everyone to marinate on…

I’m in Vancouver right now and within a couple hours of the start of the Tour de Gastown criterium. This race has been going on for years and years. The course contains bricks… cobbles… and a brick/cobbled 150 degree turn every lap. Oh yeah, it’s also in the dark.

To make matters even sweeter….

drum roll please…

it’s been raining ALL day. As in since like 10:00am.

The phrase I like to hear best is…

“Well at least it’s raining hard enough to wash all the oils off the road”…

Really? Jeez… ok. Yeah… sure… I guess so.

I think people just say this to make you feel better about the fact that you have to go out and hammer yourself into the ground in the pissing cold rain.

I’d rather they just be honest and say…

“Jeez buddy, it’s slicker than turtle snot out there. That 150 degree turn is sure going to suck! Better have your skiddie on your head extra tight tonight. You should try and not stack it in one of the many crashes! Good thing for me though, is that if you do, I have my camera ready.”

I’d quietly reply, “Yeah, thanks tiger”.

That’s all for now folks. I’m going to go pull my bathing suit out to wear over my team kit. It’s going to be like riding on a slip-and-slide tonight!

Just another glorious day at the office…

Bye.
