You just KNOW that on Thanksgiving, insteasd of making a volcano,
Hampsten molds his mashed potatoes into the Gavia Pass and then he pours
gravy on it to simulate the blizzard like condition he endured on his
way to the Maglia Rosa.

Hampsten's wife has had it. I heard she's been shopping for some
arsenic and getting the life insurance policies in order.

USA football players do not have to pretend they are hurt.
The real game is for the gamblers. It is called the NFL
injury report published each week. It takes the mind,
experience, and concentration of a NSA codebreaker to
decypher that document.

Davey, you better reconsider that. It is likely that the future of
cycling is racing in the USA. The number of "Tours" is growing like
never before here and all sorts of racing from big money crits to
cyclocross circuits that will soon pay a great deal more money than
European racing to road racing is really growing here.

I expect it will take several more slumps in the future but really,
bicycle racing will grow in the USA while it has been really slumping
over in Europe.

I am still surprised that in two weeks of driving around the Burgandy
region I never saw a single bicyclist save some old farmers riding out
into their fields pulling a cart behind a very old bicycle. Where will
new European racers come from?
