OK, I'm officially in training NOW . . .
 

With a million bucks I could zebra stripe everything I own! ;)

Big payday in Abu Dhabi

Vuelta a España promoter Unipublic has joined with Kenzay Event Management to announce plans for a single-day road race with a $1 million payoff for the winner.

The joint promoters promised to release further details of the 2007 Abu Dhabi Cycling Race of Champions in a press conference slated for January 10 in Madrid. The race is tentatively slated for next November in the Arab Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The off-season event could attract an impressive field if promoters can deliver a promised $1 million check to the first-place finisher.

Zebra stripes are so... two-dimensional. How about a jersey covered with holograms, or little foam pyramids in every color... or tangles of barbed wire made from silk... so many possibilities :)

We keep driving gas guzzlers and the Arabs will deliver the $$$$ . They pay Tiger Woods 1 million just to show up and play in their golf tourney. This is exposure to the Emirates and an image change they are looking for, you just helped them get some return on their investment. I have a cousin that can lend you team support if he's allowed to follow you with his camels down the course :)
