The Fattie Whisperer, Vol. 1, Issue 1
The Fattie Whisperer
Vol. 1, Issue 1, March 27, 2005 Into: Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Fattie Whisperer. I have selected a remarkably insightful and educational posting by one of my favorite rbr contributors, Magilla Gorilla. In this piece Magilla delivers several theories about unsuccessful periodization on the part of professional bicycle racer, Bobby Julich of Team CSC, especially in relation to other notable stars expected to do well in the Tour de France. He later makes a rather astute observation regarding the Webcor Team at the SFGP in an attempt to appeal to The Fattie's domestic knowledge in the hopes they can apply this to the international circuit. Well done brother Gorilla. This is a longer piece but I think our contributor has done a good job of breaking the thoughts into logical, and most importantly for The Fattie, easily consumable chunks o' bike racing knowledge. Please pay attention. Feel free to post questions. And now on to our feature, and original Magilla Gorilla Post (original link at bottom of page): .......... Just when I think I've taught you barebacks to stop loitering in bathhouses, you start up again. Bobby doesn't need to rest for anything in May or July because he knows he's gonna be one of the first guys to pop on the climbs in the Giro and Tour. He may as well start a support group with Iban Mayo. Pay attention cause this is on the final exam. 1. B. Jew Lick's performance in March will have no bearing on his performance in the Giro or Tour. Go rent the videos from the past 6 years of those races if you want to see what happens to Bobby when the big boys turn the cranks and mean it. 2. B. Jew Lick pulled one of those 10,000 kilometer January training regimens and came into season full gas when the real pros were suing people, cutting satellite radio deals, and ****ing their celebrity girlfriends from behind. CSC went RAMBO early under General Riis, and this will come back to haunt them. Nobody rides the Tour or Giro in camoflage anyway. 3. Races you cruisers use as gloryholes are races that real GC riders use only to help their mechanics dial in their seat height. Lances uses Criterium Int'l to see how fast his Internet connection is at his place in Girona when he checks results on cyclingnews. If winning a race against ghost competition causes you to pump the top of a bottle of Curel, then you ****s must also think Mattis and the Webcor gumby warriors are really putting the hurt on Vino and Pink at San Fran GP. Make no mistake: Kaz and Guido fly the Airbus into San Francisco just so they can take their wives and kids to see the killer whales splash water in the big fish tank by the coast. Some of you flatliners in here are gonna have your feeding tubes pulled unless you start showing some electrical activity. Take care, Magilla .......... http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...4cc0456f09ec6b |
