Hi, I thought I read that you were in Arizona. I guess not. Are you in OZ (not the the same as in Dorathy and the TinMan) ?
My favourite rider.........of the current, it's hard to go past Lance for so many reasons. But I do understand why people can't stand him. I was very impressed by Beloki this year in the TdF until his unfortunate trip to the ashphalt. Vinikourov was very threatening too.
As an Aussie, it's hard not to be impressed by Michael Rogers lefforts last year, esp. his domestique skills in the mountains.
I was also most impressed with Petacchi, esp when he beat the "fastest and most handsome rider in the world (LOL) " Mario Cipollini in the 1st stage of the 2003 Giro.
