Wild card entry BS.
Byron, thanks for the kind words. I was just a serious and very involved local amateur rider. I have gone to a few important races on the calender but understand professional road cycling very well. You have actually represented us and given those bastards an ass kicking for us here. Thank you for that. some of the guys that I use to train with were US national riders who rode in European pro/am races. They use to tell me in many of the French or Belgium races where they would laugh and punch our green horn American boys. The french would run them off into the ditch and lean on their handle bars. Chris Horner, still riding as a pro, use to tell us about his first season in European. Chris is the one guy (tough) that would not take their culture and their siht. He didn't make too many friends but got into it with a bunch of them all the time.
if you think they are / were clean, you got another thing coming. What is it that they think they have that are so superior to the rest of the world? I can't understand. l like to visit there, but my guards are always up after getting screw by more then a few of them. All of this happened in Paris. the French country side is a bit better, and have not had any issues there.
