Dare we be so bold as to hope for Rule #9?
Well, that didn’t go as expected. It was over a month ago the last time I wrote an article and every day since then, I’ve thought a thought something along the lines of, “Tomorrow, I write.” The funny thing about Tomorrow is that it never comes. My favorite band, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, even wrote a song about it back when I was still impressionable and even then I didn’t catch onto the whole “Today, I write” concept.
Daylight Savings happened over here. That’s always a big deal for me because now I’m officially able to ride after work without headlights. Which, if I was riding as much as I should, would be very important to me. Which I’m not. Although I have to say I’m stunned by how strong I am every time I do manage to ride my bike. And how incredible it feels to hurt. Afterwards, my legs remind me of this life. It is an important voyage back to the mothership, even when I’m not able to make as many visits as I’d like.
Like family.
Milano Sanremo is on Saturday, and I’m ashamed to say we haven’t sorted out the prizes yet for this year’s edition, though there certainly will be some. As it turns out, a free frame to the winner is not always a welcome thing in terms of cash outlay to get the bike up and running so we’re looking at some other options this go around. In any case, we have a cracking edition on our hands. Based on the racing so far this year, either everyone is clean or everyone is on the next thing – either way, the racing is spot-the-fuck-on. Can’t wait to see what the riders are going to pull out.
I’m behind on updating the schedule but will do any day now. Keep on holding your breath. Rest assured, get your picks in by the time the clock goes to zero and you’ll get your points. Good luck and more than anything – have fun! And now for some regularity on the whole writing bit. Not that that’s why you lot come around here.
VLVV.

You just had to do it, right, you couldn't let it go, you had to spoil the fun by mentioning The Man.

Much obliged and good luck everyone!

Just watched last year's MSR again on the rollers yesterday and I cannot believe that Sagan will not push so much harder this year on the Poggio. He just kept sitting in and riding easy, no one attacked on the Poggio until the final 500-700 meters and then they all came to the sprint together. If Gaviria had not crashed, I am not sure who would have won.
With Sagan's strength (see his recent stage wins in T-A on both flats and hills), you'd think that he would want to separate out the sprinters from the group and then outsprint the remainders on the final stretch (and I bet there will not be too much holding onto cars on the Cipressa and Poggio this year after last year's fiasco).
