Sorry just taking my mittens off, but yes. Of course. Innocents never won ****, but stagecraft didn't require drugs.I read an interview with Fondriest in an Australian cycling magazine. Fondriest in his early days, even though he was world champion very young, was the sort of rider who was always THERE but didn’t win. He’d **** up or just miss out all the time. He turned pro I think 86 or 87. Took him until 93 before he started winning races all over the place. The interviewer asked why the change. Fondriest said he’d simply learned how to win but couldn’t really articulate it. Even when pressed, he simply said “before I didn’t know how to win, but now I do”.
Besides the fact he’d probably sussed out his epo regime (it can take years for riders to nut out what drugs work for them and in what doses. I know this because dopers told me), it was probably more that he became cold blooded, cool, calculating, didn’t throw his strength away, and made it count when it mattered. Sometimes it was going 50km solo, other times it was waiting waiting waiting then going at the death, but he worked it out. it took a long time for him to work it out. Some riders never do.
Valverde has always known right from the time he turned pro.
Needs gondolas.
Yes, the Venice of the south. I’m working at Council, I’ll suggest it and see what they say.Needs gondolas.
I quite like the pink Lotus. And the matching Brynne? Whichever one was in pink.I think I’d choose the 944 or the 928 obscured by the helicopter. I actually like the colour too, Edelsten exhibiting rare good taste.
