Merckx: Half-man, Half bike by William Fotheringham

Review from the The Guardian

Cipo on tv

Mario Cipollini on the Italian version of Punk'd


The premise for this video is the following: A kind man in a tiny car tells him that some dudes broke into his house and stole all his bikes. A minute later, an RV goes by with all his bikes...and thus, the men in zebra stripes give chase. 


For someone who always copped a bit of flack for being a show pony and pulling out once in sight of the Hills, i think the shows us a very different side of Cippo.


If you watch a lot of italian tv, you will understand what the shows host is wearing, otherwise you will be confused. Bunga Bunga.

Beard of the week

Firenze

Milan- San Remo

First day back on the job brings the recap of an outstanding result for GreenEdge cycling and Simon Gerrans in the Milan-San Remo. This race is not called a classic for nothing, many riders, many teams strive their whole careers for a victory like this and for GreenEdge to pull it off in their first season, with Gerrans pipping Fabian Cancellara, a heavily backed favourite, on the line is nothing short of brilliant.

Here is a video posted on the GreenEdge site. You appreciate that this team is an Australian team, when, every second word is bleeped out for modesty reasons and even the euro members are swearing like pirates. Classic.

Interestingly GreenEdge now has 5 UCI wins, more than Rabobank, Radioshack-Nissan and BMC.

Keep it up. And remember Goss is the Boss.

Best non-GreenEdge quote from Fabian: "I had lactic acid coming out of my ears".
