I thought this was going to be about the price of aftermarket front shocks. Did you know you can spend $700 for a XC fork?

He was only DQ'd from first place for the stage. The officials gave him fourth place, so he still has the overall lead.

They'll be needing the big knobby tires and 4 wheel drive to get through that mess... perhaps this needs to be a mtn bike race instead of a road race.

Yeah Irulan, I know! I have my sights set on a Rock Shox Reba 80-115 with lock-out. They make it in a dark blue this year that perfectly matches my bike! It's over $500, but if I get that, I can put my white '04 Duke on my white single speed and all will be right with the world.

Sorry, can't follow road races, even though I'd like to. No way to watch them here, just got regular old cable.

Based on his web page (and on the team lists of riders), it looks like he's not riding the Giro d'Italia. But the Tour de France is definitely on his list.

Here's a link to his schedule: http://www.voeckler.net/schedule.htm.
