Worlds

Evelyn Stevens had her bike stolen, sky crashed in TTT practice (three injured, including Danny Pate), one of the women's TTTs crashed (five of six went down), and the police found Stevens' bike. Not a stellar start for Richmond.

BMC got a win and Stevens' team took second.

The women's IT is today which really sucks. That puts everyone who did the TTT at a disadvantage. Kristen Armstrong skipped the TTT, probably for that reason. She came out of retirement for this ride -- the retirement was to have a baby.

But I'm still rooting for Evelyn.

I was eating lunch during a training program last week and the guys at the table were all out of sorts because I'd never heard of a basketball player they were discussing. So I asked them if they knew who Taylor Phinney was.

If they don't know anything about cycling why should I have to know anything about basketball?

He was hungry

Or he was telling Oleg: "eat me"

As I said before, dude will do anything to avoid wearing that Tinkoff safety yellow+camo kit

I wonder what his shorts will look like next year.

They could do multi-colored camo to match the rainbow stripes! Tinkoff has no taste. I'm wondering if anyone will be able to restrain him from something ugly.

*blink* I thought it was just him. That actually explains a lot.

Well the jersey looks nice but they could still make him wear the team shorts.

What if the Team Shorts are black? Like SKY or BMC?

BMC's are red.

But Cadel got to wear black. I don't know what's up with that.
