... Yup. I was thinking about VdB while Gerlach was being discussed. What does it take to pull somene out of a downward spiral like that? Can it be done at all? Perhaps we focus entirely on the failures and miss the success stories, people who have overcome (somehow, some way) their inner demons and thrived. Maybe inner demons are so personal that what is learned from one doesn't apply to another. The only thing I do know is that it's very, very sad. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA

I just know that if the inputs don't change I don't believe it is reasonable to expect different outputs. Very sad. I hope the next person to try to help Gerlach tells him to leave the bike behind.

How sad, he seemed to be in a good shape during the worlds when he was around to help the Belgian team. Not sure if it was officially or not. RIP
