    PezCycling News &bull Jan 31, 2012

    More... A day with Garmin-Barracuda followed by two days with the BMC team. Both teams have their ways of doing things, but both are professionals. The most notable thing I noticed was the how much more interest there was in the BMC team compared to last year. The difference a Tour win can make and signing two of the biggest names from the Classics. Im glad to say that the first day of the BMC teams two press days didnt kick off until the afternoon, which gave me time to post EuroTrash Thursday and write up the previous day's Garmin-Barracuda… Full Story »

    PezCycling News &bull Jan 31, 2012

    More... Who the hell is this guy, Ian Jackson? That was the way one of my fellow competitors characterized his intimidation before the start of the first Big Island Ironman triathlon back in 1981. Jackson had announced his confidence of an overall win in the press, and given the infantile level of the sport back then, nearly everyone could be considered a threat. Because we were worlds apart, I was intrigued with his creative approach. By John Howard and Gina Poertner, CHES Like most of the competitors, I was submerged in the physical prowess of the sport while Jackson dealt… Full Story »

    PezCycling News &bull Jan 28, 2012

    More... After three nights, the racing was anything but decided. The same theme would continue all the way until the final, sixth, evening.
