Early start today. We left at 8am… and got here (northern New York state) a little after 5pm. The drive was actually fine, it didn’t feel as long as it sounds, partly thanks to the really spacious and big US vehicles. A drive that long in the Castel Team bus or one of the cars would have felt a lot longer I’m sure.
We went straight to a “Press conference”, and then had a good old New York Pizza for dinner. That was pretty cool! Nicely American!
Apart from that not much to report. Sounds like it might rain for our race on Sunday. That will really suck for me!
In other news Tyler Hamilton has sadly taken a step down from the sport after an out of competition positive drug test for a agent contained in an anti-depression medication he took. It’s a real shame to see Tyler leave the sport that way. No matter what people say the guy is a true legend! Regardless, you can never take away what he has achieved in cycling! It’s also a real shame to know that the US national champion jersey will not be worn in the Pro Peloton this year (even if Tyler’s Team Rock Racing did put together a horrible “version” of the National Champ jersey which was sadly not easy enough to distinguish from the rest of the team jerseys.
