Yes, I get that this is probably just publicity for his book, but must be some basis for it.

Even in this year's Tour they at least were twice on the back foot. And Boasson Hagen seems like he is the new Farrar! (So naturally he'll win the Worlds, to make me look stupid)

It doesn't work out all the time, they tried a few moves in the mountains during the Tour that didn't work, but it makes for great racing.

Ha, ha, no, the closest Kathy Lemond came to doing anything like that was to have her brother accidentally shoot Greg the following March.

Meanwhile, Horner came just a few spoonfuls of Geritol short of taking the red jersey today.
