"sure," i say. "On three. One....two...three!"


Luigi, you don't do sprints by counting down, the
art of sprinting is in the tactics.

You should have let her led out, and then with 50 meters
or so to go you come around her, if done right she won't
have any more to put into her sprint.

Anyway, with little kids you can always win by changing
the location of the finish line to suit you.

Poor little kids. Maybe that's what happened to George
W Bush Junior when he was little. :-)

Do you recall the ad for the Toyota Sprinter, in which it
beat the "Green Monster" turbine-powered dragster in
the 579(?) foot dash ?

Toyota and monster at starting line. Light turns green.
Toyota is off and accelerating. MOnster is waiting for the
engine to come up to speed. Toyota is accelerating. Monster
is waiting for the engine to come up to speed. Toyota ...
Monster.....

Finally the engine is at speed, the monster accelerates at
an alarming rate and, just before it passes the Toyota, they
take the picture of the winner (Toyota) in the 579 foot dash.

My 8 year old declared yesterday that when she wins a stage at Tour De
France, she's going to have a podium *boy* give her flowers, trophy,
and a kiss on each cheek.


This inquiring mind wants to know...
--are the podium babes different each day, or the same? (And how does
one list that on one's resume? "Awards Presenter and Busser,
Centennial TdF")
--how long after the race finish is the podium thing? (Do the gals
have to kiss sweaty yuckky buggy cheeks, or do the riders wipe down or
even change out of their sweaty kit first?
--do they use the same jersey on LA every day and he gives it back
right after the event? Or do they have a new one?
--On the Velo-News site there's a marvelous photo gallery. In the team
time trial podium picture LA has his bibs hanging down under his
(team) jersey. Wassup widdat?

TIA

who would love to ask OLN for more details of "ther rest of the story"
