Today I had a fairly long chat with Darren Lill. Darren was to fly out this morning to the US for training camp before the Tour of California, but when he got the airport in Cape Town he found out that although his name was on 
the flight list, his flight had not been paid for. Anyway, the team got him on another flight for this evening, but it meant he was sitting around all day with not much to do but surf the web, talk to me and send me pics of him playing with elephants and pics of his new bike. The flight thing sounds a little too much like our flight out from Paris to the Tour of Cameroon in October... we weren't even on the flight list for that one... but we got on anyway.While surfing he came across a couple of pics online and got fairly excited. He obviously knew he was getting his new team bike when he got over there, but he didn't know what bike, what colour etc... until he found a few pics of a bike in the BMC factory with his name on it.
After riding for Barloworld and Navigators Darren will be riding for Team BMC in 2008, basically the old Phonak team... and they will be riding BMC bike (no surprises there).
Nice bike! Where's mine Darren? :-(
