A great rbr Christmas gift.

I can't think of a better rbr Christmas gift than this book
http://www.amazon.com/Death-Marco-Pa.../dp/0297850962


The author goes through all the blood data of Maro Pantani's whole
career. Even down to the amount of time he would delay taking the blood
test, and the effect that extra hours he delayed would have on the
numbers. It's what rbr obsesses about, because that is what pro-cyling
is really all about, chemistry. You all secretly have felt the sting of
someone flying by you on a difficult climb, and you really knowing it
was chemistry not ability that just went by you. Marco was the epitome
of this phenom. Then the early death, the other side of the coin of
pro-cycling, the early end of yet another cycling champion.

The perfect rbr gift for Christmas.
