i continue to love this cat.
here's a killer quote from www.cyclingnews.com:

Tom Boonen ended up second, thanks to the disqualifications, but said, "I'm not happy with it. It was not deserved, I was dropped. I wasn't as super as I was last week in the Ronde, but good enough to win. I spent too much energy unnecessarily. I nearly crashed and felt cramp after that. I'm choked with dust. It was stressful all the time.

"I'm not disappointed: It's good that everyone realises that I'm not a robot. Losing can be a better lesson than winning."

my favorite Boonen quote is when he said, "Boonen is tired of Boonen."

Was that something like the guy on the MTB hauling down from that hill in Japan? What happened? We don't get OLN out here, Wells Fargo don't run so far, atmo. Hey, thank you for the news service.

im trying to figure a way the next time i finish 11th in a race...to get the 10 guys that finished ahead of me disqualified
i need ideas....fast. next race in 2 weeks.
i have tried..." they all crossed the yellow line but me..." did not work
"they are all too young..." did not work
" they all swore at the officials..." did not work
"they all cut the course..." did not work

here's a few:

their helmets are not uscf approved.

they've visited "stolenunderground.com" at least once in the past year.

they had seat bags and bells on their bikes in blatant violation of the rules.

you sold the race to them.

they're really all cat 4s and shouldn't be in the cat5 race with you anyway.

y' know.
i could lose 3-4 with the alu steerers
3-4 more with the not up to date helmet stickers for the feds
probably pull out 2-3 for yellow line violations...
not bad...i'm now on the podium.
tks boys you've been a great help.

my season is taking a turn for th better.
