What's the deal with this guy and his bikes? It seems at many big
races in the US he has bike problems.

wheel was broken -- the gears were skipping on the wheel," Rodriguez
explained. >>

He hates packing up his euro bikes and traveling with them. So instead,
he picks one up from wall mart on the way to the race.
