Video Highlights from the Monte Zoncolan

Thank you, Jessica. Every time I try to visit cycling sites all I ever see is more doping news. It has put me into quite a funk, so much so that I have not had the energy or the heart to read or to write about cycling. But that short clip reminded me of what I find beautiful and fascinating about this sport.

I probably will stay largely disappeared while I focus on Bama Basketball for the next few weeks, but with Levi and Alberto at Astana (wow!) and the new talent at Slipstream we should be in for an exciting season from the American perspective.
