OMG, get off of Robin Morton already!!! She had an affair with John Eustice for crying out loud. To give her credit is a disgrace. I don't know if she used John or if John use her and they all got over on everyone for years rigging races and dishonoring contracts -- crying 'sacrifice.' Get a grip. Italians are so open-minded to women. However, they aren't open-minded to being duped. It's the equivalent of Tiger Woods forcing his girl Rachel on the PGA!! It would never happen!!! However, Italians are just too polite to women! This article is full of predilections and ignorance. Then, John and Robin (and her husband) duped everyone for years! Get off it already!! Stop smokin' crack! She never even rode a bike and admits it because she knows that people out here know the true story of her success which is via the oldest profession in history!

Rollers, Rollers, Rollers - never even been on a trainer except to try and it and then never go back.
FWIW, you can't even get Zen Arcade on Spotify.

The Gallery didn't update in a couple of months - or since the takeover. I really miss that.

Wowzers.

Pantheon of local small business ads. Or maybe that sort of thing is standard fare in Italy. Either way, God love the Italians!

Winter training: If it's 20F or above and wind gusts are 60 mph or less, pour your fat ass into some thermal bib-tights and go ride. Otherwise, get on a deafening wind trainer in a dark, damp basement that reeks of rat turds and turpentine. Do intervals until you can hear the cockroaches splashing around in your sweat puddles. In Spring, the jamoke that bought a "CycleOps Indoor Trainer" will be groveling for your wheel.

Please omit the objectionable language from the graphic at top. It's not family friendly.

The real US Gianni Motta Pro Team was the first US Team to participate in a Grand Tour; the Giro in 1984, led by John Eustice and managed by Robin Morton. A web search will give you all the answers since this site won't allow links in comments. Pez did a great interview with Robin a few years ago; it had pictures of the team, their jerseys and their bikes.

Go to Austria in August to race with masters in Deutschlandsberg and you will compete in the Gianni Motta Road Race. Gianni is there at the start and finish and has his picture taken with all the winners.

rollers. That Eddie clip defines indoor training forever more. Lucky i found my Kreitlers on CL for $40.
way too coincidental that you mention Zen Arcade - Pandora worship recently made me head over to amazon for the mp3 double fix. Now if only i could find SS Decontrol's 'How we Rock'....
and speaking of Nates, look out for Nate English who also just got picked up....don't be surprised to see that name too.

Love the Husker Du screenshot. Zen Arcade is one of the best 5 albums of all time.

you better keep that money coming in or I will drop you on the lunchtime office ride. I like bags of cash, preferably non-sequential 20's. PS: got some buddies with shady doping pasts, they are on the team now, too. Uncle Sergei sez

I wish I had grown up in Europe where the pharmaceuticals flowed like fluoride from faucets.

Dave Billingsley and Greg Saunders, who were the OK guys on the Motta team, used to race in AR quite a bit. I remember one dinky little race in NW AR, those guys showed up and somebody protested that the race was not Pro sanctioned, so they shouldn't have been allowed to start the 1,2,3 race. I was thrilled to have them, they were straight outta Europe, to race them gave us a taste of the extreme exotica that real racing was in the middle of the USA in the early 80's. Greg made the inside back cover shot of Bicycle Guide, the shot of him cresting the Manayunk Wall was a classic. He told stories of racing in Europe, events like the Dauphine and the Giro... I last saw Greg several years back in the Natural State SR in Little Rock, he was racing Masters for the fun of it. More minor trivia: Gianni was famous for struggling to keep weight ON in the off season, while Eddy fought an annual battle to stay at fighting weight...

hey bq, you getting lazy with the (well deserved) riches? on the roller part, you dutifully "forgot" to mention insideride. if they had 1/10th of the marketing budget of the other guys (or if they were sold at cc), you would, as you should, be gushing about them. seriously.

Squeezing cheese is not a trick. Please, never mention that sort of thing again.
