    I bought my car 8 years ago, because of Milan-San Remo. The brochure featured my car on the streets, interspersed with pictures of the race. That was it. The other 2 I had test driven didn't matter...
    I watched the Criterium International on Sunday. It was nice to hear Phil's voice in my house.

    Haha... I bought a Saturn way back when... I admit that part of my decision was because they sponsored a team at the time. Car turned out to be a hunk of junk though.

    This is funny, the same thing happened to me.
    I always drove convertibles, and never thought I would buy a different kind of vehicle. Then, a couple of years back they kept showing the new Saab wagon during the Tour de France, and it looked so easy to transport bicycles in that car. Funny enough, the time came to buy a new car, and I went and got myself one!

    Back on topic - yes I cannot wait for the Tour de Flandres and Paris-Roubaix, and very much hope that Mr. Cancellara is planning to repeat a good day on both races!!!

    GO FABIAN!

    That was a nail biter! All I can say is Chavanel has proven once again to have quite a heart. I don't care if he didn't win. Brilliant ride.

    Congratulations Nuyens.

    That was a great race! I almost cried when Johan Van Summeren asked his girlfriend to marry him after the race. I am always happy for the winner, but that was something special. He rode his heart out. I've heard his name a bunch, but this is the first time I really got to see or hear him, and for that I feel lucky. Charming guy.

    Poor Sylvain. Hard crash. I hope he's okay.

    I watched the whole thing, but I was falling asleep, so I missed the marriage proposal.
    Those crashes, oy. That seemed like the hardest race I have ever watched.
