the cycling sage

i can't get over this latest julich column :

http://www.cyclingnews.com/features....byjulich_apr09

it's also documented here how he also blogged about skipping checking
the 2006 TT course where he ended up DNF (even though 170 other riders
managed to finish).

he claims to be a perfectionist, but when i saw him at the worlds he
dropped his chain on the first climb and rode around in the small ring
and rode into the pits to try to get it fixed (duh no free laps at the
worlds buddy). how does a protour rider fly to another country to do a
race and not have a properly adjusted derailleur or spare bike ?

some guys may have the ability but will always find a way to lose. i
see this locally too. some guys i don't have to worry about because
they will find a way to sabotage themselves.

I never forgave him for whining in VeloNews about having to pay for
his own waterbottles when some team he was on folded.

Those Camelbak podium bottles are expensive.
