Published: 05/27/2003

10.) With only 10 categorized climbs over the 1200 km race he needed a real challenge.
9.) He took off the inside ring in an effort to save weight in anticipation for his assault on the KOM competition.
8.) Our Soigneur made fun of his spindly "chicken legs" in his pre race massage before stage 1 (so he vowed to do some strength training)
7.) Having never had knee problems he was starting growing curious about what tendonitis really feels like
6.) His custom butted super-light OLMO is so light that he didnt need to shift down.
5.) He runs a 58/54.
4.) He did it just cause he could.
3.) He enjoyed pissing of the other riders stuck behind him climbing up the 23% grades while he pedaled at 35 RPM zig-zagging across the narrow roads.
